Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity as new predictors of heart failure in patients post-myocardial infarction

Heart BMJ

Heart failure (HF) is one of the significant complications in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), leading to increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Common predictors include older age, prior hypertension, diabetes and atrial fibrillation. HFrEF is more commonly.

Detecting heart stress using NT-proBNP in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension or high-normal blood pressure: a cross-sectional multicentric study

Cardiovascular Diabetology

We evaluated the prevalence of “heart stress” (HS) based on NT-proBNP cut-points proposed by the 2023 Consensus of the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in asymptomati.

Impact of diabetes mellitus on right ventricular dysfunction and ventricular interdependence in hypertensive patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction assessed via 3.0 T cardiac MRI

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are two common comorbidities of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), each of which can cause right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. The aim of this s.

Heart disease in pregnancy and risk of pre-eclampsia: a Swedish register-based study

Open Heart

Pre-eclampsia and heart failure have common risk factors, including hypertension, obesity and diabetes. It is not known whether heart failure increases the risk of pre-eclampsia. This study examines whether pregestational heart failure increases the risk of pre-eclampsia.

Tirzepatide’s Prediabetes and Hypertension Impact

CardiacWire

It looks like we might be able to add prediabetes and hypertension to the growing list of conditions that Eli Lilly’s “weight loss drug” tirzepatide is able to treat, after new analysis of the SURMOUNT-1 trial showed significant reductions in blood pressure and diabetes progression. mm Hg systolic and 4.2

The intersection of heart failure and cancer in women: a review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

However, this comes at a cost with more women developing diabetes, hypertension and coronary artery disease as they age. These traditional cardiovascular risk factors not only increase their lifetime risk of heart failure but also their overall risk of cancer. Women continue to enjoy a greater life expectancy than men.
