This meta-analysis included patients with stroke and/or transient ischemic attacks to determine whether women are under-represented in clinical trials of acute stroke therapies.
SGLT2i Further Reduced Mortality Risk for HF and CKD vs DPP4i
Investigators sought to assess the impact of treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors on risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, or hospitalization for heart failure or chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes, Sleep Disturbances Up Risk for Early Death
Having diabetes and frequent sleep disturbances increases the risk for early death.
Insertable Cardiac Monitor Detects More Atrial Fibrillation After Ischemic Stroke
Monitoring with an insertable cardiac monitor detected significantly more atrial fibrillation compared with usual care in patients who had stroke.
ALI Risk High After Stent Graft Thrombosis Even With Low Amputation Risk
The researchers’ goal was to determine the clinical impact of stent graft thrombosis and its prognosis.
Bariatric Surgery Beneficial for Class 1 Obesity
For individuals with class 1 obesity, bariatric surgery is effective for weight loss and comorbidity resolution.
Heart Attack and Stroke Care Rebound During Pandemic
Biggest, latest COVID-19 surge did not show declines in stroke, heart attack presentation as seen early in the pandemic.
FDA to Review Dry Powder Inhalation Formulation of Treprostinil
Tyvaso DPI is an investigational drug-device combination therapy consisting of a dry powder formulation of treprostinil.
Vagus Nerve Stimulation Improves Arm Function After Stroke
Researchers aimed to determine whether vagus nerve stimulation paired with rehabilitation is a safe and effective treatment for improving arm function lost after a stroke.
Cardiovascular Risk Increases With Systolic, Diastolic BP Among Patients With New-Onset CVD/CAD
Researchers assessed whether increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure are associated with greater cardiovascular risks among patients with new-onset coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular disease, regardless of glucose status.
Large Proportion of Hospitalized Patients May Have Undiagnosed Hypertension
A large retrospective observational study found large numbers of hospitalized patients with blood pressures exceeding thresholds for hypertension.
Plant-Centered Diet May Lower LDL Cholesterol, CVD Risk
Dietary strategies aimed solely at lowering saturated fat intake may be less effective in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) than recommendations for a plant-centered diet.
Stroke Risk Increased for Offspring of Moms With Hypertension in Pregnancy
Offspring of mothers with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy (HDP) may have an increased risk for developing stroke later in life.
High Incidence of Pneumonia in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Researchers aimed to determine the rate and impact of pneumonia in the PARADIGM-HF and PARAGON-HF trials.
New-Onset SVT Following Colonoscopy Bowel Prep Explored in Case Series
A significant percentage of affected patients were observed to have dilated atria and left ventricular hypertrophy.
Bluetooth Is Useful, Ubiquitous, and an Invitation to Hackers
Bluetooth is potentially susceptible to attack because it allows different devices to communicate over the air, according to a cybersecurity expert.
Prenatal Exposure to Ultrafine Particles Tied to Child Asthma
Prenatal ultrafine particle (UFP; <0.1 µm) exposure is associated with asthma development in children.
Demographic Disparities in Proximity to Stroke Care Identified
Demographic disparities in proximity to stroke care are greater in nonurban than in urban areas.
Statins Reduce MACE in Diabetes Without Obstructive CAD
The researchers studied the effect of aspirin and statin treatment on cardiovascular and bleeding incidence in patients with diabetes in the absence of obstructive CAD.
