IntroductionThis paper aims to expose the link between occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica (SiO2) and cardiovasculardiseases (CVDs).MethodsA Specific cardiovasculardiseases, such as acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension and pericarditis, were also pointed.
We projected through 2050, overall and by age and race and ethnicity, accounting for changes in disease prevalence and demographics.RESULTS:We estimate that among adults, prevalence of hypertension will increase from 51.2% Prevalences of coronary disease (7.8% to 6.4%), atrialfibrillation (1.7% in 2020 to 61.0%
The human capital approach was used to estimate productivity losses from morbidity and premature mortality due to cardiovascular conditions.RESULTS:One in 3 US adults received care for a cardiovascular risk factor or condition in 2020.
Background Observational studies have indicated a potential association between education and cardiovasculardiseases (CVDs). However, uncertainties regarding the causal relationship persist. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether higher levels of education causally reduce the risks of CVDs.
Obesity is a multifaceted disease that is directly and indirectly implicated in atherosclerotic cardiovasculardisease (CVD), heart failure (HF), atrialfibrillation (AF), and multiple CVD risk factors, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and sleep disorders.
A projected rise in heart disease and stroke – along with several key risk factors, including high blood pressure and obesity – is likely to triple related costs to $1.8 population could be affected by cardiovasculardisease within the next 30 years, according to two new science reports. to 61% of the U.S. population.
Back in the early 1990s, it was generally believed that the transition from paroxysmal to permanent AF was due to aging and/or the effect of an underlying cardiovasculardisease such as hypertension, valvular defects, or heart failure.
Six multimorbidity patterns were identified, including 4 specific patterns: (1) pattern 1, cerebrovascular cluster (histories of cerebrovascular disease and hypertension); (2) pattern 2, traditional cardiovasculardisease risk factors cluster (histories of hyperlipidemia, obesity, anddiabetes, and family history of cardiovasculardisease and smoking); (..)

Dozens if not hundreds of (albeit observational) studies have linked a short sleep duration to a number of health conditions including type 2 diabetes and cardiovasculardisease. For participants who slept just 5 hours per night, hypertension risk increased by 29%, depression risk increased by 64%, and anxiety risk increased by 46%.
Introduction:Cerebrovascular and cardiovasculardiseases are major causes of global mortality, with significant impact in India. Exclusion criteria were pregnancy, lactation, intracerebral hemorrhage, atrialfibrillation, left ventricular clot, and cardioembolic stroke. Data were collected from medical records.
The key risk factor for cardioembolic stroke is atrialfibrillation or flutter, and oral anticoagulation (OAC) is recommended in all but the lowest-risk patients with evidence of these arrhythmias. Risk factors for thrombotic stroke overlap strongly with those for other atherosclerotic cardiovasculardiseases (ASCVDs).
The prevalence of HF risk factors was high: hypertension, 61.9%; former or current smoking, 53.7%; obesity 34.8%; diabetes; 24.7%; and chronic kidney disease; 22%. Overt cardiovasculardisease, which ranged from 2.1% (HF) to 13.6% (atrialfibrillation), was less common. were female, 25.6% were Black, 12.8%
OSA disproportionately affects the 92 million Americans living with cardiovasculardisease (CVD), often goes undiagnosed (1) , and doubles the risk for heart failure and other serious cardiovascular conditions. Western Regional Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology, Northwell Health , NY. billion (2).
Understanding The Relationship Between Sleep & Heart Health Scientific studies have established a strong association between the quantity and quality of sleep and various cardiovascular issues. Risk of Heart Disease Studies have shown that individuals who consistently lack sufficient sleep are at a higher risk of developing heart disease.
The immune response plays a vital role in the development of cardiovasculardiseases (CVDs). As a crucial component of the innate immune system, neutrophils are involved in the initial inflammatory response following cardiovascular injury, thereby inducing subsequent damage and promoting recovery.
This new document builds off of the previously published Best Practices for Consumer Cardiovascular Technology Solutions in January 2022. Cardiovasculardisease is the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 695,000 lives in 2021 in the United States, about 1 in every 5 deaths, according to the CDC.
It’s well known that heart disease is the U.S.’s s top cause of death, and our rising CVD rates have been widely covered, but a look back on some of the biggest stories of 2024 suggests that cardiovasculardisease is about to become a much bigger problem. Hypertension Problems: Another JAMA study highlighted the U.S.’s
Avocado consumption of at least two servings per week is linked to a lower risk of cardiovasculardisease. Harvard University Heart Letter) A clinical polygenic risk score test for diseases ranging from atrialfibrillation (AFib) to breast cancer was piloted by scientists.
While the spotlight in 2023 shone on developments around Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), away from the limelight a quiet revolution in AI was taking place, which promises to transform the way we diagnose, manage, and treat cardiovasculardiseases, the world’s leading cause of death.
This troubling trend has cemented the 100-year reign of cardiovasculardiseases (CVD) as the #1 killer in America. 1 Peeling back the layers of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Despite medicine and science advancing leaps and bounds, in 2024, cardiovasculardisease remains the leading cause of death in America.
The association with 2 or ≥3 markers did not reach statistical significance. The strongest association with subtype of CVD was between CHF and ≥3 CSVD markers (OR 5.67, 95% CI 1.90-16.9).
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2024 (August 30 – September 2, 2024) has wrapped up, delivering groundbreaking insights into cardiovasculardiseases and related conditions. New guidelines also: Classify “Elevated BP” between non-elevated BP and hypertension.
Background Elevated heart rate (HR) predicts cardiovasculardisease and mortality, but there are no established normal limits for ambulatory HR. Methods A 24-hour ECG was registered in 5809 atrialfibrillation-free individuals, aged 50–65 years. We also studied clinical correlates of ambulatory HR.
BACKGROUND:Sustained forms of atrialfibrillation (AF) are associated with lower treatment success rates and poorer prognosis compared with paroxysmal AF. Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. Yet, little is known about risk factors that predispose to persistent AF on initial presentation.
Specialty Demand Certain specialties, focused on conditions like cardiovasculardisease and diabetes, also have rising demand, as the baby boomer population ages and becomes higher risk. The demand for cardiovascular care, for example, continues to grow at an almost exponential rate. For the Risk Bearing Entity e.g
Hypertension, Volume 80, Issue 12 , Page 2572-2580, December 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:The STEP (Strategy of Blood Pressure Intervention in the Elderly Hypertensive Patients) trial demonstrated that intensive systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering has cardiovascular benefits. years, and 46.5% years, and 46.5%
