Weight change in diabetic adults hints at adverse cardiovascular events

18 Oct 2022

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who have gained or lost weight over 18 months, particularly a ≥5-percent change in weight, are probably at an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, suggests a study.

Foetal growth restriction, prematurity tied to higher BP in children

18 Oct 2022

Among school-aged children, having been born premature and with foetal growth restriction (FGR) appears to be associated with higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) and augmentation index (AIx), a new study has found.

Updated BEST results: No major difference between EES or CABG for multivessel disease

14 Oct 2022 by

In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, the risk of any-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), or target vessel revascularization (TVR) did not vary according to whether patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with everolimus-eluting stents (EES) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), extended follow-up of the BEST* trial showed.

Early noninferior to delayed NOAC initiation after stroke in AF patients

13 Oct 2022

Early initiation of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) after acute ischaemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) appears to yield similar outcomes when compared with delayed initiation, as shown in the results of the TIMING* study.
