Atrial Fibrillation, Cancer and Risk Factors

Temporal order of atrial fibrillation and acute myocardial infarction and associated prognosis in the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort

Open Heart

JANUARY 21, 2025

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) share risk factors and are bidirectionally associated. Several studies found higher risks of outcomes in individuals with both conditions. Whether the risks of outcomes differ according to temporal order of AF and AMI is unclear.

Interaction of genetic risk and lifestyle on the incidence of atrial fibrillation

Heart BMJ

Background The relationship between combined genetic predisposition and lifestyle and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to assess a possible interaction between lifestyle and genetics on AF risk.

Circulation

NOVEMBER 11, 2024

Owing to improved management, the life expectancy of patients with hemophilia has increased significantly and predisposes them to risk of cardiovascular diseases and thrombotic events. The primary outcome was to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with hemophilia compared to the general population.

It kills almost twice as many people globally when compared to all cancers combined. The real question is what the Tsimane tribe's risk factor profile looks like. As a consequence, high blood pressure is the single most important risk factor for early death worldwide 8. The average Non-HDL cholesterol is 2.9

Cardiovascular disease, cancer and dementia account for 60% of all deaths in the US. Yes, many external factors impact these factors, but ultimately, you have significant control over all of these. Let’s look at what happens to NCD risk when these risk factors are optimised. These are NCD’s.

BACKGROUND:Sustained forms of atrial fibrillation (AF) are associated with lower treatment success rates and poorer prognosis compared with paroxysmal AF. Yet, little is known about risk factors that predispose to persistent AF on initial presentation. Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print.
