Nearly everyone can lower their blood pressure, even people currently on blood pressure-reducing drugs, by lowering their sodium intake, reports a new study. It found 70-75% of all people, regardless of whether they are already on blood pressure medications or not, are likely to see a reduction in their blood pressure if they lower the sodium in their diet.

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUNDIn acute ischemic stroke caused by large‐vessel occlusion, tissue viability is dependent on the blood supply from leptomeningeal collaterals until reperfusion is achieved. Rapid and accurate evaluation of baseline collateral status is a key marker of eligibility for endovascular therapy but can be challenging to interpret using source images of the computed tomography angiography (SI‐CTA).

BACKGROUND:Understanding factors that influence the transition to permanent residential aged care following a stroke or transient ischemic attack may inform strategies to support people to live at home longer. We aimed to identify the demographic, clinical, and system factors that may influence the transition from living in the community to permanent residential care in the 6 to 18 months following stroke/transient ischemic attack.M

The ventilation technique, also known as rescue breathing, commonly used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for people with cardiac arrest is often performed poorly by professional emergency responders, and this ineffective strategy is linked to significantly worse patient survival rates, according to a new study. Ventilation involves administering breaths to a patient to provide life-sustaining oxygen and inflate the lungs when they stop breathing or during cardiac arrest, when the hear

A total of 38% of patients who did not exhibit an echocardiographic response 1 year after CRT implantation experienced a positive response after 3 years. Delayed responders had a similar prognosis of all-cause death and HF hospitalization rates as early responders. Predictors of delayed response compared with early response were a longer duration from initial HF hospitalization to CRT, the non-exact concordant LV lead location to the latest mechanical activation site, and shorter pre-QRS duratio

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is safe for patients with an implanted cardiac device. However, studies are still being conducted on the impact of electromagnetic field on the device and myocardium. One of the diagnostic methods used to assess myocardial damage is the determination of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) concentration. CK-MB can be found mainly in myocardial cells (MC) and its increased blood concentration corresponds to MC damage.

An intensive three-year intervention to lower the top blood pressure number to less than 120 mm Hg was more effective at preventing death, heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular events in adults at high risk for cardiovascular disease, compared to the standard treatment target of under 140 mm Hg, according to new research.

Arrhythmogenic role of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in atrial arrhythmias is well established, but its effect on ventricular arrhythmias has been significantly less investigated. Since ventricular arrhythmias are thought to cause 75% to 80% of cases of sudden cardiac death, this is not a trivial issue. We provide an overview of clinical data as well as experimental and molecular data linking EAT to ventricular arrhythmias, attempting to dissect possible mechanisms and indicate future directio

Abstract Aims Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an increasingly recognised cause of heart failure. 3-4% of individuals of African descent carry a TTR gene mutation encoding the p.(V142I) variant, a powerful risk factor for development of variant ATTR-CM; this equates to 1.6 million carriers in the USA. We undertook deep phenotyping of p.

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation for which the left atrium (LA) is usually accessed by the antegrade femoral venous route and transseptal puncture. However, in rare cases, alternative routes must be used to overcome anatomical challenges (congenital or acquired). Because often not known in advance, these anomalies are associated with a high number of failed ablation attempts.

Abstract Background We studied the association between neighborhood material deprivation, a metric estimating inability to attain basic material needs, with outcomes and processes of care among incident heart failure (HF) patients in a universal healthcare system. Methods In a population-based retrospective study (2007-2019), we examined the association of material deprivation with one-year all-cause mortality, cause-specific hospitalization, and 90-day processes of care.
