Risk Assessment Score and Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection Algorithm for Hypertension Among Africans: Models From the SIREN Study

Hypertension Journal

Hypertension, Volume 80, Issue 12 , Page 2581-2590, December 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:This study aimed to develop a risk-scoring model for hypertension among Africans.METHODS:In this study, 4413 stroke-free controls were used to develop the risk-scoring model for hypertension. Logistic regression models were applied to 13 risk factors. We randomly split the dataset into training and testing data at a ratio of 80:20.

Effects of Synchronizing Foot Strike and Cardiac Phase on Exercise Hemodynamics in Patients With Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: A Within-Subjects Pilot Study to Fine-Tune Cardio-Locomotor Coupling for Heart Failure

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Despite advances in medical and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), individuals with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) have persistent symptoms, including exercise intolerance. Optimizing cardio-locomotor coupling may increase stroke volume and skeletal muscle perfusion as previously shown in healthy runners.

Comparative Discrimination of Life’s Simple 7 and Life’s Essential 8 to Stratify Cardiovascular Risk: Is the Added Complexity Worth It?

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) is an easily calculated and interpreted metric of cardiovascular health based on 7 domains: smoking, diet, physical activity, body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol, and fasting glucose. The Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) metric was subsequently introduced, adding sleep metrics and revisions of the previous 7 domains.

This ECG was texted to me after the fact with no information. What do you think?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

This ECG was texted to me with no other information, with this quote: "You will see this in the Queen of Hearts." I assumed it was in real time. The Queen said "Not OMI with low confidence" What do you think? The conventional algorithm said: SINUS RHYTHM ABNORMAL QRS-T ANGLE [QRS-T AXIS DIFFERENCE > 60] ABNORMAL ECG This was my response: "I am not certain that I agree with the queen on this one.
