Standing has gained popularity among people looking to offset the harms of a sedentary lifestyle often caused by spending long days sitting in front of the computer, television or driving wheel. Standing desks have become a popular option among office workers, and in other industries like retail, workers may opt to stand instead of sit.

New research has shown that over the long-term, standing more compared with sitting does not improve cardiovascular health (coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure), and could increase the risk of circulatory issues related to standing, such as varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis.

High blood pressure (hypertension) causes thickening of the blood vessels and hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis). A study conducted by Brazilian researchers has shown for the first time that a similar phenomenon occurs in the lungs. High blood pressure hardens the bronchi and increases airway resistance, impairing respiratory capacity.

This multicenter observational study evaluated the impact of LBBAP on clinical outcomes and improvements in echocardiographic parameters among patients with atrioventricular block and a reduced LVEF of 36%–50%. LBBAP significantly improved LVEF without causing fatal ventricular arrhythmias. LVEF normalization (>50%) was achieved in 64.5% of patients, whereas patients without normalization demonstrated no deterioration in LVEF.

AFib inhalers took a small step closer to becoming a reality after InCarda Therapeutics’ Phase 3 RESTORE-1 trial showed that its FlecIH-103 inhaled flecainide formulation can rapidly convert paroxysmal AFib to normal sinus rhythm. However, challenges with the study suggest that InCarda has more work to do in order to achieve this reality. FlecIH-103 is an orally-inhaled flecainide acetate solution that treats paroxysmal AFib (PAF) by rapidly restoring normal sinus rhythm (NSR), potentially reduc
