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.

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.

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.

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.
