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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
