Daily accumulated steps in longer bouts appear to result in lower mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks than steps accumulated in shorter bouts among suboptimally active adults, reveals a study.
For multiethnic Southeast Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), bleeding outcomes including BARC type 3 bleeding appear to be less favourable with ticagrelor than with clopidogrel, as shown in a retrospective study from Singapore.
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty with rescue stenting in patients with de novo coronary artery disease (CAD) results in a higher rate of device-oriented composite endpoint (DoCE) than intended drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation at 3 years, reports a study.
Restricting sugar exposure in utero and during infancy appears protective against the risks of several cardiovascular outcomes and delays disease onset later in life, suggests a study.
