Age-dependent effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on stroke risk in geriatric patients with diabetes and atrial fibrillation

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, particularly in geriatric populations. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demo.

Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity as new predictors of heart failure in patients post-myocardial infarction

Heart BMJ

Common predictors include older age, prior hypertension, diabetes and atrial fibrillation. Risk factors for developing HF after MI vary and are influenced by whether the patient has HFrEF or HFpEF. HFrEF is more commonly.

Proteinuria and the risk of Incident atrial fibrillation according to glycemic stages: a nationwide population-based cohort study

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and proteinuria each independently raise the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to investigate the relationship between proteinuria and the risk of incident AF across glycemic st.
