Stroke Journal

This can be mitigated through targeting modifiable risk factors. Identification of those at-risk through screening tools could be facilitated by inclusion of self-reported risk factors rather than reliance on clinical data.

Abstract 4148106: Hemophilia and Cardiovascular disease in the United States: Prevalence, Risk factors, and outcomes.

Circulation

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.

Association between “Life's Essential 8” cardiovascular health and apparent treatment-resistant hypertension among US adults from the NHANES, 2005 to 2018

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Compared to subjects with low CVH, participants with moderate and high CVH exhibited lower risks of 47% and 76%, respectively. Physical activity (PA), body mass index (BMI), and blood glucose were associated with aTRH (all p-values<0.05), while diet, nicotine exposure, sleep, and blood lipids were not significantly associated with aTRH.

Physiology Friday #196: Resistance Training and Heart Health

Physiologically Speaking

The benefit of resistance training observed in observational studies is supported by controlled trials on resistance training, which demonstrate that this type of exercise reduces traditional and nontraditional CVD risk factors. Of course, these benefits can also extend to individuals with a BMI in the normal range.
