In a retrospective study of older patients (≥65 years) with cardiovascular disease who were admitted to a cardiology service, the prevalence of polypharmacy (five or more medications) was 95% and 69% for hyper-polypharmacy (≥10 medications), far exceeding that observed in the general population; 77.5% 2021;374:n1493.

Exercise prevents and reverses cardiovascular disease, but whether high-intensity exercise training (HIIT) is safe and effective for adults after minimally invasive heart surgery is unknown. Exercise is a wonder drug for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and reversal.

IVL helps restore blood flow by cracking calcium lesions using sonic pressure waves and is used in both CAD and PAD, often in combination with stenting. IVL is a minimally invasive, catheter-based treatment for calcified arterial lesions, which can reduce blood flow and cause pain or heart attack.

All the patients were observed during their hospital stay for postprocedure in-hospital morbidity (pump failure, contrast-induced nephropathy, major bleeding, cerebrovascular accident/stroke, access site complications or stent thrombosis) and mortality. The mean BMI was 27.48±4.93 kg/m 2 and 23.2% (255) were categorised as obese.

Below, we aim to debunk common myths about cardiovascular disease, providing accurate information and emphasizing the importance of treatment for heart disease with timely interventions. Procedures such as angioplasty, stenting and bypass surgery can restore blood flow to the heart and improve function.

He had no apparent risk factors for cardiovascular disease. He was successfully treated with one drug eluting stent. Pain largely resolved prior to EMS arrival but completely subsided after prehospital NTG and aspirin. At the time of arrival to the ED, the patient reported 1/10 chest pain with normal vital signs.
