COVID-19 causes lighter heart damage during second vs first wave of infections
In fatal cases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), cardiac inflammation, cardiomyocyte injury, and microvascular thrombogenicity are substantially lower in the second vs first wave of infections, a new study has found.
Ambulatory better than central BP at predicting death, cardiovascular events in dialysis patients
Central blood pressure (BP) is associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in haemodialysis patients, reveals a study. However, its prognostic value is not superior to ambulatory peripheral BP.
Hypertension with proteinuria ups risk of AF, cardiovascular events
Hypertension and proteinuria contribute to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) as well as stroke, heart failure admission, and cardiovascular death in older adults, and such risk is greater when both conditions are present, according to a study.
BP during treadmill test predicts risk of CV events, hypertension
Measuring blood pressure (BP) during rest, exercise, and recovery phases of exercise stress training (EST) can offer incremental prognostic information on the long-term risk for cardiovascular events and the probability for developing hypertension, suggests a recent study.
