In residential neighbourhoods, patients with heart failure (HF) living in high poverty are more likely to be readmitted to hospitals, a recent study has found. The high rates of hypertension and diabetes in these areas partly explain the effect of high poverty.

The presence and the burden of microvascular disease in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) independently contribute to an increased risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF), suggests a recent study.

In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the impact of visceral fat (VF) on left ventricular remodeling (LVRM) can be attributed to changes in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), a new study reports.

A myocardial infarction (MI) risk score derived from the Singapore Myocardial Infarction Registry (SMIR) performs just as well as international standards, such as the refined Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE 2.0) score, according to a recent study.

In the EPIC-Norfolk* study, a sex-specific association was found between daily potassium intake, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The findings particularly suggest that in women with high sodium intake, higher potassium intake was tied to lower SBP.

A dietary pattern with increased glycaemic index (GI) and load (GL) appears to elevate the risk of death due to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), suggests a study involving Chinese adults.
