Abstract WP6: Associations between computed tomography biomarkers of cerebral small vessel disease and early outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke

Stroke Journal

Patients with increasing CT-CSVD scores were older (p<0.001), more likely to have hypertension (p<0.001), diabetes (p<0.001), coronary artery disease (p=0.044), and a higher baseline systolic blood pressure (p=0.037). 1.02; score 2: OR 0.46, 95%CI 0.26-0.83; 0.83; score 3: OR 0.16, 95%CI 0.03-0.76,

Top 10 Cardiac Diagnosis Trends in 2024

GEMMS

Traditional tools like stethoscopes, blood pressure gauges, and electrocardiograms (ECG) are fundamental for standard diagnostic practices. Much of heart disease is linked to conditions like diabetes, obesity, or chronic kidney disease, and specific mutations in nucleic acids help identify them.

The Value Of Lifestyle In Those With An Elevated Lp(a)

Dr. Paddy Barrett

They have the biomarker of risk but no evidence of the disease , even later in life when you would expect them to have it. A healthy lifestyle, in this instance, is defined by a combination of: BMI Nutrition Smoking Status Activity Levels Blood Pressure Diabetes Status Cholesterol Levels All of which are highly modifiable.

Physiology Friday #230: Cutting Sugar vs. Cutting Carbs for Cardiometabolic Health

Physiologically Speaking

On one side, advocates of low-carbohydrate diets argue that cutting carbs, particularly in the form of sugars, is essential for weight management and metabolic health — pointing the rise of insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes as evidence that our carbohydrate-laden diets are wreaking havoc on our bodies. No surprises here.

Pre- and post-pandemic comparisons in cardiovascular markers: a population-based study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic, starting in 2020, raised concerns about potential long-term health impacts, including its effects on cardiovascular health and related biomarkers. The study observed modest declines in mean glucose, cholesterol, HDL, and LDL levels post-pandemic, with stable blood pressure.

Abstract TP29: Neurodegenerative Plasma Biomarker Associations With Cognitive Resilience in Adults With High White Matter Hyperintensity Volume: A Post-Hoc Analysis of Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial Memory & Cognition in Decreased Hypertension (SPRINT MIND)

Stroke Journal

Neurodegenerative plasma biomarkers may be associated with cognitive decline via vascular processes causing higher WMHv such as cerebral amyloid angiopathy & inflammatory small vessel disease. Conclusion:There were no significant adjusted associations between any plasma biomarker with CR.
