Breakthrough Research Identifies Predictors of Venous Thromboembolism after Pulmonary Resection for Lung Cancer

DAIC

New research presented at The Society of Thoracic Surgeons’ Annual Meeting found that patients with postoperative PE had increased 30-day mortality, reintubation, and readmission rates. In this contemporary analysis of the GTSD, the research team identified a 2.5% fold odds increase of VTE in patients with lung cancer specifically.

at 5,10,15 and 20 years respectively, the researchers reported. Risk factors for late autograft dysfunction include a dilated aortic annulus and ascending aorta. Freedom from aortic regurgitation was 95.1%, 92.2%, 87.7%, and 84.5% Freedom from pulmonary regurgitation was lower97% at 5 years, 83.6% at 10 years, 79.7% at 20 years.

Lung cancer screening with computed tomography finds coronary artery disease in 83% of cases

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Lung cancer screening with low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) may detect more than just lung cancer. As research in the Canadian Medical Association Journal shows, these CTs can identify coronary artery calcium, a strong risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), in patients without cardiac symptoms.

Better treatments have led to improved cancer survival rates, but new research reveals increased cardiovascular complications in survivors. However, another new study offers hope, suggesting that heart medications like SGLT2 inhibitors may help prevent cancer-related heart disease. smoking) and cancer-induced risk factors (e.g.

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.
