Aerobic dance training maintains cognition in older people with CSVD

05 Feb 2022 by

A rater-blind randomized trial conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in collaboration with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and BrainNow Research Institute in Shenzhen, China, has found that regular aerobic exercise led to pulse and blood pressure (BP) reductions as well as maintenance of global cognition in older people with moderate to severe subclinical cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).

Vericiguat addresses unmet needs in worsening HFrEF

04 Feb 2022

Heart failure (HF) is a complicated clinical syndrome that is inherently progressive. In HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is ≤40 percent and accompanied by progressive LV dilatation and adverse cardiac remodeling.

Work disability more than thrice as likely after AF

03 Feb 2022

Atrial fibrillation (AF) substantially aggravates the likelihood of work disability, particularly in patients of low socioeconomic status, a recent study has found.

Longitudinal high-sensitivity troponin T predicts mortality in CKD

03 Feb 2022

An independent association exists between longitudinally measured cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and mortality risk in older patients with stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), reveals a study. This suggests that monitoring patients with cTnT may serve well in identifying those with a high death risk.

Prehospital delay ups risk of all-cause mortality in NSTEMI

03 Feb 2022

In patients with non‒ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), prehospital delay appears to increase their risk of 3-year all-cause mortality, a study has shown.

Sacubitril/valsartan equals enalapril, valsartan alone for preventing AF in HF

31 Jan 2022

Sacubitril/valsartan performs comparably as enalapril or valsartan alone in preventing atrial fibrillation (AF) occurrence in patients with heart failure (HF), reports a recent meta-analysis.

Olmesartan-amlodipine single-pill + rosuvastatin reduces SBP, LDL-C in concomitant hypertension, dyslipidaemia

29 Jan 2022 by

Treatment with a single-pill combination (SPC) drug, composed of olmesartan and amlodipine, plus a separate dose of rosuvastatin led to significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in patients with concomitant hypertension and dyslipidaemia, according to the LEISURE* trial.

Dronedarone better than sotalol in post-AF ablation setting

27 Jan 2022 by

Treatment with dronedarone following atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation appears to lead to a reduced risk of cardiovascular hospitalization as well as lower rates of combined proarrhythmia when compared with sotalol, as shown in a recent study.

Motivators, barriers to better heart health practices in Singapore

27 Jan 2022 by

Among adults with potentially modifiable behavioural risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, the patterns of motivators and barriers to such modifications vary widely, often depending on age and social status, according to a recent Singapore study.
