Rheumatoid arthritis linked to increased risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest among women

15 Jun 2022

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) tend to occur at a higher rate among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and this risk increase is especially pronounced in women but not observed in men, a study has found.

Orthostatic hypotension ups mortality risk in geriatric outpatients

14 Jun 2022

Older outpatients with delayed/prolonged orthostatic hypotension (DPOH) are at higher risk of mortality, reveals a study. The magnitude of both systolic and diastolic OH is also associated with increased death.

Amiodarone use may reduce survival in continuous‐flow left ventricular assist device recipients

14 Jun 2022

For patients who have undergone continuous‐flow left ventricular assist device (CF‐LVAD) implantation, treatment with amiodarone may do more harm than good, with a recent study showing that it contributes to increased risk of mortality.

Previous pre-eclampsia tied to early coronary atherosclerosis

12 Jun 2022

Coronary atherosclerosis is slightly more prevalent among younger women with previous pre-eclampsia than age- and parity-matched counterparts from the general population, reveals a recent study. After adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, pre-eclampsia remains an independent risk factor.

Smokers who quit remain at risk of heart failure for decades

11 Jun 2022

Cigarette smokers have an excess risk of heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), confirms a recent study. Additionally, those who quit smoking show a reduction in HF risk, but the risk persists for a few decades.

Regular green tea intake improves cardiometabolic risk factors

11 Jun 2022

Drinking green tea regularly, or consumption of its bioactive constituents as supplements, appears to have a positive effect on certain cardiometabolic risk factors, including weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, and lipids, a study has found. However, these benefits depend on the amount and frequency of consumption, health status, and lifestyle.

Paclitaxel-coated devices in femoropopliteal artery revascularization: Mortality risk fears unfounded?

10 Jun 2022 by

Among patients undergoing femoropopliteal artery revascularization, mortality risk was not affected regardless of whether they were treated with drug-coated devices (DCDs) or non–drug-coated devices (NDCDs), according to updated results of the SAFE-PAD* study presented at SCAI 2022.

Lead‐related complications fewer with subcutaneous vs transvenous ICD

10 Jun 2022

Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) that are placed subcutaneously is superior to those that are inserted via the axillary–subclavian venous system and placed endocardially, as the former reduces the risk of lead-related complications, according to a meta-analysis. Additionally, subcutaneous ICD appears to be more beneficial in the long term with regard to the risk of device-related complications.
