Higher CF-PWV at baseline tied to BP reduction after RDN

12 Mar 2023

Greater carotid-femoral (CF) pulse-wave velocity (PWV) at baseline appears predictive of a smaller decrease in systolic ambulatory blood pressure (BP) following renal sympathetic denervation (RDN), a prospective, single-arm pilot study has shown.

Arterial stiffness calculations show equivalent results for CVD events

11 Mar 2023

Several methods of local arterial stiffness calculation produce generally the same results, reports a study. This suggests that the variety of these calculations do not lead to inconsistent findings.

BP awareness, drug adherence help prevent death, morbidity in stroke patients

10 Mar 2023

Encouraging people to check their blood pressure (BP) regularly and boost adherence to antihypertensive medications can potentially reduce stroke mortality and morbidity, suggests a study. Improving the literacy level and reducing the smoking rate may help achieve these goals.

RAS-modifying drugs reduce CVD risk in lupus patients

10 Mar 2023 by

Use of antihypertensive agents that modify the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) helps lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), suggests a study.

Longer time in BP target protects against adverse cardiovascular events in diabetes

08 Mar 2023

For patients with hypertension and diabetes, longer time spent in blood pressure (BP) target range helps lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, according to a study.

GLP-1 RAs vs SGLT2 inhibitors: What are the comparative risks of ischaemic stroke and incident AF?

08 Mar 2023 by

A population-based retrospective study of Hong Kong patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) finds that use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) is associated with a lower risk of ischaemic stroke, while use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors is associated with a lower risk of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Whole grain intake helps prevent cardiac events, death

05 Mar 2023

Whole grain consumption, instead of refined grains, provides a protective benefit against coronary heart disease (CHD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality, suggests a study.

Renal denervation lowers daytime BP without help of medications

04 Mar 2023

Ultrasound renal denervation yields reductions in daytime ambulatory systolic blood pressure (BP) in the absence of BP-lowering medications and without major safety issues, according to a study.

Baseline cardiac damage predicts outcomes after AVR

04 Mar 2023

The extent of extravalvular cardiac damage before undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) can predict the health status outcomes in patients cross-sectionally and after AVR, reveals a study.

FDRS variables predict Alzheimer's, dementia in HF, AF patients

03 Mar 2023

Variables from the Framingham Heart Study Dementia Risk Score (FDRS) are predictive of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) in patients with heart failure (HF) or atrial fibrillation (AF), a study has shown.
