He said a co-directorship means both sides have “skin in the game” to make the cardio-oncology center successful. “And when you try to explain what cardio-oncology is all about to the oncologists, you need to tell them it is not about stopping chemotherapy; it is exactly the opposite. The idea we have as cardiologists is […]
Heart disease is killing fewer Americans overall, however, cardiovascular deaths where obesity was listed as a key contributing factor have tripled between 1999 and 2020, according to a new study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association. And, Black women had the highest mortality rate out of all the population groups studied. […]
Shared decision-making (SDM) is not being incorporated into cardiovascular guidelines as much as it should be, according to an investigation published in JAMA Network Open. This finding is based on a cross-sectional analysis of 65 guideline documents published by the American College of Cardiology (ACC), Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS), or European Society of Cardiology (ESC) […]
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Investigators have identified more than 60 previously unknown genetic variants associated with resting heart rate that may also contribute to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, according to recent findings published in Nature Communications. “This is the largest study of its kind to-date. Besides adding to the list of variants linked to […]
A recent study published in the journal BMJ has found that consuming certain emulsifiers (part of the “E numbers” group of food additives) commonly used in ultra-processed foods (UPF) to improve texture and extend shelf-life has been associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular issues, such as heart attacks and strokes. According to the experts, […]
In a recent study published in BMC Public Health, a group of researchers quantified the impact of individual and combined cardiometabolic risk factors on cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and overall mortality and assessed the resultant loss of CVD-free years and overall life expectancy. Study: Cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality associated with individual and combined cardiometabolic risk […]
“If the heart’s arteries are narrowed, causing an increased risk of angina or heart attacks, then it is highly likely that the same process causing atherosclerosis within the heart’s arteries is happening in other areas of the body,” Lim says. This includes arteries in the brain, arms, legs, pelvis, kidneys – and penis. Dr Boon […]
Yale researchers have created a noise-adapted artificial intelligence model that can detect heart disease. William Zhang 3:17 am, Sep 08, 2023 Contributing Reporter Michelle Foley Artificial intelligence can help more accurately detect heart diseases, a new Yale study found. Researchers developed an AI model that allows wearable devices to more effectively detect left ventricular systolic […]
ADELAIDE, Australia, Sept. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Advanced research is casting light on possible early life factors – including poverty, physical or mental abuse – that may impact the rate of egg loss and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in post-menopausal women. Traditionally, cardiovascular disease in women has been associated with loss of ovarian […]
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Brazilian Clinical Research Institute (BCRI) to focus on advancing cardiovascular disease research, innovation, and medical education. This partnership is part of a broader initiative to expand Mount Sinai Heart’s reach globally, and Latin America is an […]
