Higher Risk of Myocardial Infarction, Heart Failure, and Atrial Fibrillation Noted After Spinal Cord Injury

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

There are several factors which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in survivors of spinal cord injury. They have a greater prevalence of obesity, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus. Cardiovascular disease in spinal cord injury: an overview of prevalence, risk, evaluation, and management.

Unraveling the Link Between Mental Health and Cardiovascular DiseaseĀ 

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

Other studies have also unearthed more intricate connections which suggests that physiological conditions, underpinned by biological and chemical factors, may also play a pivotal role in influencing cardiovascular disease (CVD). In 2021 alone, CVD accounted for over 900,000 deaths in the U.S. and approximately 19.91 million globally.

Plasma Protein Profiling of Incident Cardiovascular Diseases: A Multisample Evaluation

Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine

Background:Proteomic profiling could potentially disclose new pathophysiological pathways for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and improve prediction at the individual level. In separate meta-analyses for each of the 3 CVD outcomes, 49 proteins were related to myocardial infarction, 34 to ischemic stroke, and 109 to heart failure.

Expert Perspective: The Obesity Paradox with Salvatore Carbone, PhD

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

Can you please explain the concept of an obesity paradox? Salvatore Carbone, PhD: First, Iā€™d like to point out that obesity is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. 2, 3] This association is more pronounced for those with class I obesity, which is a body mass index (BMI) between 30-35 kg/m2.

AtherosclerosisĀ Updates from the 92nd EAS Congress

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

Dr. Pradeep Natarajan (United States of America) suggested that polygenic risk scores could play a larger role in identifying individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Ultimately, there is an overlap between high-risk primary prevention for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and secondary prevention.

Research Data from Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation at ACC 2024 Reveal Trends in Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Preventive Medication Use Prior to Heart Attacks

DAIC

The Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF) is presenting leading research focused on trends in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the most severe form of a heart attack, at the American College of Cardiologyā€™s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.24), 24), being held April 6-8 in Atltanta, GA.
