(MedPage Today) -- Patients with type 2 diabetes had better glycemic control and higher rates of diabetes remission over the long term with bariatric surgery compared with lifestyle and medical management in the pre-GLP-1 receptor agonist era.
Most people only start to worry about cardiovascular risk later in life. This is a bad idea. Here’s why. When you look at the risk of having a heart attack, it is true that the older you are, the greater the odds of having a heart attack 1. So far, so good. But this graph is very misleading. While only 1-2% of those having a heart attack are less than 65 years of age, 1-2% of this very large number means a LOT of heart attacks.
(MedPage Today) -- A novel class of antithrombotic medication, the factor XIa inhibitors, has had a rocky start but is powering through phase III trials, which are now underway. MedPage Today sat down to discuss the novel agents with Graeme Hankey.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), identified by the Fatty Liver Index (FLI), is associated with increased mortality and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. Whether this also applies to type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 28 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41569-024-01004-2 Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained arrhythmia and imposes a substantial burden on patients and health-care providers. Clinical evidence suggests that antiarrhythmic therapy to restore and maintain sinus rhythm (rhythm control) can reduce adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation.
Objectives The clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and concomitant active cancer remain insufficiently explored. This study aimed to assess the midterm outcomes of TAVR in patients diagnosed with AS and active cancer. Methods Data from the OCEAN-TAVI, a prospective Japanese registry of TAVR procedures, was analysed to compare prognoses and clinical outcomes in patients with and without active cancer at the time of TAVR.
The presence of sinusitis is linked to a 40% heightened risk of a diagnosis of rheumatic disease, particularly in the 5 to 10 years before disease onset.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundSedentary behavior is a recognized mortality risk factor. The novel and validated convolutional neural network hip accelerometer posture algorithm highly accurately classifies sitting and postural changes compared with accelerometer count cut points. We examined the prospective associations of convolutional neural network hip accelerometer posture–classified total sitting time and mean sitting bout duration with all‐cause and c
Deepak Bhatt, MD, MPH, looks ahead to discuss what he is most excited about from the upcoming late-breaking clinical trials sessions at the American College of Cardiology 2024 annual meeting
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundIndividual pregnancy complications are associated with increased maternal risk of cardiovascular disease. We assessed the link between a woman's total pregnancy history at 40 years of age and her relative risk of dying from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).Methods and ResultsThis population‐based prospective study combined several Norwegian registries covering the period 1967 to 2020.
Lars Svensson, MD, PhD, was on vacation in 1967 when he and his father heard about the first person-to-person heart transplant, performed by South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundCardiovascular disease remains an important comorbidity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but traditional models do not accurately predict cardiovascular risk in patients with RA. The addition of biomarkers could improve prediction.Methods and ResultsThe TARGET (Treatments Against RA and Effect on FDG PET/CT) trial assessed whether different treatment strategies in RA differentially impact cardiovascular risk as measu
The goal of the KARDIA-1 trial was to evaluate zilebesiran compared with placebo among patients with hypertension. Zilebesiran is a subcutaneous injectable that targets hepatic angiotensinogen (AGT) synthesis by RNA interference.
Findings of a review of data from three clinical trials challenge current best practice for use of the drug for primary prevention of heart disease or stroke -- otherwise known as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The analysis of data from three international clinical trials points to a need for further evidence on best practice among adults already taking aspirin for cardiovascular disease prevention.
In this Q&A discussion, Bhatt discusses the recent news of dupilumab’s supplemental Biologics License Application for COPD patients with type 2 inflammation, as well as its significance.
As interest in training for critical care cardiology (CCC) continues to rise, a recent study found there is significant heterogeneity in current standardized CCC training paradigms for meeting training competencies and board certifications, reinforcing the unmet need to define competencies in the field, according to a study published Feb. 12 in JACC: Advances.
Insulin resistance (IR) is involved in the pathophysiological processes of arrhythmias. Increasing evidence suggests triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index, metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), trig.
Background Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stands as a formidable health challenge, recognized not only for its growing prevalence but also for its association with elevated mortality rates. Emerging evidence suggests that CKD is inherently linked to inflammatory processes, marking it as an inflammatory disorder. In this landscape, the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) emerges as a novel inflammation marker, yet to be applied for assessing the risk of mortality in CKD patients.
Objective This study aims to review the application of deep learning techniques in the imaging diagnosis and treatment of aortic aneurysm (AA), focusing on screening, diagnosis, lesion segmentation, surgical assistance, and prognosis prediction. Methods A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing studies that utilized deep learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in various aspects of AA management.
Results suggest a high prevalence of fatty liver in adults with chronic HCV, which was significantly associated with central obesity, elevated blood pressure, and metabolic syndrome.
Background Primary cardiac lymphoma is an extremely rare malignant lymphoma, with clinical manifestations related to its location. We reported the diagnosis and treatment of primary cardiac lymphoma in a patient presented with atrioventricular block. Case presentation A 64 year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of symptoms of a tired heart and shortness of breath.
Younger gestational age, lower birthweight, and a more severe initial AKI episode were identified as risk factors for recurrent AKI, which was linked to extended hospitalization.
Cancer and cardiovascular disease represent the two leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Women continue to enjoy a greater life expectancy than men. 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.
The Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is a novel marker reflecting the true acute hyperglycemia status and is associated with clinical adverse events. The relationship between SHR and mortality in patients with.
Background Valvular heart disease is a major health concern worldwide. The effective management of patients undergoing valve replacement determines their prognosis. Bibliometric analysis of studies on managing patients with artificial heart valves has not been previously performed. Methods This study analyzed 2,771 publications related to patient management after valve replacement published in the Web of Science Core Collection database between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2022.
Studies on the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) surrogates and long-term all-cause mortality in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and hypertension are lacking. This study aimed to explore.
