Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common and costly health care problems worldwide, and preventive cardiology can be discussed as secondary, primary, or primordial. There is tremendous opportunity to work multilaterally, emphasized G.B. John Mancini, MD, professor of medicine; scientific director, Cardio Risk Clinic; and director of the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Core Laboratory, University […]
Psychological support and patient-centered care (PCC) have been linked to treatment outcomes for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In a recent study coming from the International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases, researchers investigated nurse opinions and practices of psychological support and PCC for patients with RA. RA is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory disease that largely affects […]
Treating diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be particularly challenging in patients underlying cardiovascular comorbidities, since the most common first- and second-line therapies come with considerable cardiovascular toxicities, according to a report published in JACC CardioOncology. However, newer targeted therapies and immunotherapies have been developed that appear to carry a lower risk of cardiovascular complications, […]

Overall, PPI was required for 11.3% of TAVR patients within 30 days. This includes 8.8% of the 1,090 patients treated with the Acurate neo, 7.7% of the 665 patients treated with the Acurate neo2, 15.2% of the 1,312 patients treated with the Evolut Pro and 10.4% of the 144 patients treated with the Evolut Pro+.

New research suggests that including or excluding unprocessed red meat and whole grains in a healthy diet may not have a significant impact on overall cardiovascular outcomes and can be consumed in moderation. Instead, focus should be put on consuming higher amounts of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, as well as a moderate amount of […]

Taking vitamin D supplements may help reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events (like heart attacks) for older adults, according to a new study. The trial, which was based out of Australia, assessed 21,315 people who ranged from 60 to 84 years old. They randomly gave one group of 10,662 participants one capsule of 60,000 […]
“We found that recruited macrophages support inflammation and fibrosis, or scarring, of the atria, which hinder electrical conduction between heart cells and lead to AFib,” senior author Matthias Nahrendorf, MD, PhD, a specialist with the MGH Center for Systems Biology, said in a prepared statement. “Inhibiting macrophage recruitment reduced AFib.” The researchers believe that targeting […]
