A A commonly used formula that overestimates the risk of an adverse cardiac event can lead to incorrect chemotherapy decisions according to a published in Study. With many cancer drugs, there is a risk of prolongation of the QT interval, which promotes fatal cardiac arrhythmias in patients.Because of this risk, cancer patients often undergo ECG […]
Knowledge Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is particularly effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVUs) through physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE). MVPA as a disproportionate component of PAEE may be a more effective way to mitigate risk than simply increasing the -_ PAEE. Why this is important How intensity and extent of physical […]
The scores showed high precision in predicting outcomes across the disease continuum, from stenosis to recurrent myocardial infarction to death. Insight A novel score derived from a machine learning model using electronic health data demonstrated high accuracy in predicting coronary artery disease (CHD) outcomes across the disease spectrum. Why this matters The results can help […]
A meta-analysis showed no significantly increased risk for higher doses, except for increased ventricular arrhythmias. Knowledge Therapy with glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) was not significantly associated with newly occurring arrhythmias overall in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) or obesity patients. A higher risk of ventricular arrhythmia was observed for higher doses of GLP-1RA. Why […]

Findings SGLT-2 inhibitors were associated with a significantly reduced risk of ASCVD, hospitalization due to heart failure (HHI), and renal events in patients with type 2 diabetes without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), heart failure, or chronic kidney disease. No significant differences were found between dapagliflozin and empagliflozin. Why this matters Conflicting data regarding the differences […]
These first responders are often on site faster than the emergency services. Insight If randomly present first responders arrive at the site of a cardiac arrest outside the hospital due to a smartphone warning from the emergency services (OHCA), patients are more likely to receive defibrillation by first responders. An increased program for volunteer first responders […]
Diagnosis and clinical management of patients with Hepatitis Delta AISF and SIMIT operational indications The arrival of new treatments for patients suffering from chronic hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) capable of interfering with the life cycle of this virus, with consequent improvement of liver necrosis indices and the course of the disease itself, has pushed AISF […]

Prophylactic administration of atorvastatin (40 mg/day) for 12 months in lymphoma patients treated with anthracyclines was associated with a lower rate of cardiac systolic dysfunction than placebo. Women, people over the age of 52, obese people and patients treated with doses of anthracycline above 250 mg/m² benefited particularly well from the statin. “These data support […]
