Education and cardiovascular diseases: a Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Observational studies have indicated a potential association between education and cardiovascular diseases (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.

Challenges in the Cardiovascular Evaluation and Management of Patients With Obesity

American College of Cardiology

Obesity is a multifaceted disease that is directly and indirectly implicated in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation (AF), and multiple CVD risk factors, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and sleep disorders.

Atrial fibrillation begets atrial fibrillation: The role of electroanatomic remodeling

HeartRhythm

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 cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, valvular defects, or heart failure.
