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.

COSMOS tested a cocoa extract supplement and a multivitamin-mineral supplement against one another and a placebo for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. This hypothesis was studied in a randomized controlled trial known as the COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study or COSMOS.

It was designed to evaluate an integrated risk tool (IRT) that combines genetic risk in the form of a polygenic risk score or PRS, with QRISK, a prediction algorithm for CVD. For people aged 45-64, genetics accounts for 40% as much risk as all the non-genetic risk factors combined in QRISK.

LH individuals also appear to have more cardiovascular disease (CVD) related conditions like diabetes and cancer. Thus, the present study sought to test the hypothesis that vascular function and heart rate variability (HRV), both key indicators of CVD risk, would be lower in LH compared to RH individuals.

It’s not that they don’t get cardiovascular disease, cancer or dementia; they just get it way later than everyone else. When broken down by disease category, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, stroke, osteoarthritis, hypertension and stroke, the pattern is the same. Aggressively control the risk factors.

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.

We've known for a long time that smoking tobacco is linked to heart disease, and this study is evidence that smoking cannabis appears to also be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States,” Jeffers said. Cannabis use could be an important, underappreciated source of heart disease.”
