Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) appears to share a genetic risk with cardiovascular disease (CVD), indicating that PTSD is a factor that contributes to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension, reveals a study.

An intensive blood pressure target (<120 mm Hg) should be avoided in patients who have undergone endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) for large-vessel occlusion (LVO), results of the phase III ENCHANTED2/MT* trial showed.

In both men and women, decreased levels of testosterone appear to precede a myocardial infarction (MI) episode, a recent study has found.

In thrombotic stroke patients at high risk of ischaemic stroke recurrence, prasugrel was as effective as clopidogrel in reducing the composite incidence of ischaemic stroke, MI, and death from other vascular causes, the phase III PRASTRO-III study has shown.
