Prevalence of Hypertension in Children Increasing
Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify the prevalence of hypertension in the general pediatric population.
Coronary CTA May Consistently Improve Outcomes in Patients With Stable Chest Pain
Coronary computed tomography angiography may consistently improve coronary heart disease outcomes in individuals with chest pain.
High Birth Number May Harm Cardiovascular Health in Women
Association also seen between more births, less ideal body mass.
Analyzing Nurse Practitioner-Led Cardiovascular Care
Researchers assessed randomized controlled trials to evaluate the impact of nurse practitioner-led cardiovascular care compared with another cardiovascular healthcare provider.
Diagnosis of Treatment-Resistant Hypertension Predicts Mortality Outcomes in T2D
For patients with type 2 diabetes, apparent treatment-resistant hypertension increases risk for cardiovascular events and mortality.
CVD Risk Declines When BP Meds Taken at Bedtime
Patients routinely taking antihypertensive meds at bedtime have lower risk for CV events, death.
Pregnancy Complications Tied to Higher Risk for Later Hypertension
Complications such as preterm births and preeclampsia double the risk.
Lean-Fat Individuals Have Worst Outcome in Heart Failure
Asian patients with low BMI, high WHtR have higher prevalence of diabetes, worse QoL, worse outcomes.
Preeclampsia Increases Cardiovascular Disease Risk After Pregnancy
Women who experience hypertensive disorders during pregnancy are at an increased risk for cardiovascular disorders later in life.
Hypertension in Pregnancy Linked to Severity of Menopausal Symptoms
Researchers sought to determine whether a relationship exists between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and menopausal symptoms.
Vasomotor Symptoms at Menopause Linked to Increased Risk for CVD Events
Frequent or persistent vasomotor symptoms during the menopause transition are associated with increased risk for later cardiovascular disease events.
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Underestimated in Patients With Mental Illness
Severe mental illness should be included in cardiovascular assessment tools, authors say.
Cardiorenal Disease Is the Most Common CVD Manifestation in Patients With T2D
Cardiorenal disease is commonly the first cardiovascular disease manifestation in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Diverse Physical Health Outcomes and HIV Infection
Results from an umbrella review of observational studies showed highly suggestive or suggestive evidence for HIV and the presence of several physical health outcomes.
1970 to 2010 Saw Large Jump in Hypertension During Pregnancy
Overall prevalence of chronic hypertension 0.63%; rate more than twofold higher for black women.
ESC Guidelines Updated for Managing CVD in Diabetes
Guidelines address lifestyle recommendations, individualized BP targets, SGLT2 inhibitor, GLP1-RA treatment.
Poor HIV Control Increases Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure
Lower CD4 count, nonsuppressed viral load linked to higher risk for sudden cardiac death in HIV with heart failure.
Fixed-Dose Combination Polypill Effectively Prevents Major CV Events
A fixed-dose combination pill may be an effective component of a preventive strategy to reduce cardiovascular disease.
Midlife Hypertension Tied to Changes in Late-Life Brain Structure
Investigators studied the effects of midlife high or increasing blood pressure on late-life brain structure.
