CKM outcomes in HK after reclassifying obesity by the Lancet Commission’s definition

27 Mar 2026 by

In an observational study of two community-based cohorts in Hong Kong, 6.7 percent of individuals with BMI ≥25 kg/m² were reclassified as nonobese after applying the Lancet Commission’s definition of obesity. Individuals with clinical obesity had the highest risk of adverse cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) outcomes, while those reclassified as nonobese had an intermediate risk.

Acid suppressant use tied to risk of ischaemic events in stroke patients on clopidogrel

24 Mar 2026

Acid suppressants such as potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), when used concomitantly with clopidogrel, carry an increased risk of ischaemic events in stroke patients, according to a retrospective cohort study.

Depression not a risk factor for mortality in CVD, study says

22 Mar 2026

Recent research indicates that depression does not contribute to increased mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and that the observed association is largely attributable to coexisting risk factors and comorbidities.

Alternate-day fasting lessens oxygen use, enhances MFR in overweight individuals

19 Mar 2026

An alternate-day fasting (ADF) regimen for 3 weeks results in lower blood pressure and myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) and improves myocardial blood flow and flow reserve (MFR), reports a recent study.

Does cardiac arrest timing affect patient survival?

14 Mar 2026 by

The timing of cardiac arrest does not appear to influence the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rate or 90-day survival, a Singapore study has shown.
