Atrial Fibrillation
The comorbid conditions of obesity and atrial fibrillation require better prevention and treatment strategies.
Heart Failure
HbA1c decreased by 0.16% in the enalapril group vs 0.26% in the sacubitril/valsartan group.
Heart Failure
The American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and the Heart Failure Society of America joined forces to update the previous 2013 heart failure treatment guidelines.
Heart Failure
Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction had high levels of coronary microvascular endothelial activation and oxidative stress, which may be induced by obesity and/or diabetes.
Pulmonary Vasculature
Researchers examined statin therapy as a method of risk reduction in lower extremity amputation.
Atrial Fibrillation
Optimal treatment strategies for lone atrial fibrillation have been unclear, but more technological advances and understanding of disease are propelling researchers forward.
Prevention
Because of the increased risk for cardiovascular disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the increase in fat mass caused by rheumatoid cachexia can be especially concerning.
CHD
Three revascularization techniques were compared in patients with concomitant carotid and coronary artery disease undergoing CABG.
Interventional
The American College of Cardiology has released guidelines for determining if patients with aortic stenosis are appropriate candidates for transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Pulmonary Vasculature
The most common chronic respiratory morbidity affecting preterm neonates is bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
