Stress test abnormalities reveal more than just cardiovascular risks

Science Daily - Heart Disease

The treadmill exercise test with electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as an exercise stress test, is one of the most familiar tests in medicine. While exercise testing typically is focused on diagnosing coronary artery disease, a recent study finds that exercise test abnormalities, such as low functional aerobic capacity, predicted non-cardiovascular causes of death such as cancer in addition to cardiovascular-related deaths.

Physiological Mechanisms of Dietary Salt Sensing in the Brain, Kidney, and Gastrointestinal Tract

Hypertension Journal

Hypertension, Ahead of Print. Excess dietary salt (NaCl) intake is strongly correlated with cardiovascular disease and is a major contributing factor to the pathogenesis of hypertension. NaCl-sensitive hypertension is a multisystem disorder that involves renal dysfunction, vascular abnormalities, and neurogenically-mediated increases in peripheral resistance.

Comparison of Ambulatory and Home Blood Pressure Variability for Cardiovascular Prognosis and Biomarkers

Hypertension Journal

Hypertension, Volume 80, Issue 12 , Page 2547-2555, December 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:Although blood pressure variability (BPV) is reported to be associated with cardiovascular prognoses, it has not been established whether ambulatory BPV (ABPV; ie, short-term 24-hour BPV) or home BPV (HBPV; day-to-day BPV) is a superior clinical marker.METHODS:We analyzed the associations of ABPV and HBPV with cardiovascular prognoses and biomarkers in 1314 hypertensive outpatients who underwent both home and ambula

Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine

Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 5 , Page 421-430, October 1, 2023. Background:Variants in theDMDgene, that encodes the cytoskeletal protein, dystrophin, cause a severe form of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) associated with high rates of heart failure, heart transplantation, and ventricular arrhythmias. Improved early detection of individuals at risk is needed.Methods:Genetic testing of 40 male probands with a potential X-linked genetic cause of primary DCM was underta

Association between nighttime heart rate and cardiovascular mortality in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator: A cohort study

HeartRhythm

Although studies have shown that an increased resting heart rate measured randomly at a single point of the day has been associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, the utility of continuous monitoring of nighttime heart rate (NTHR) has remained largely uninvestigated.
