Cardiovascular Health

These lumps can relate to the overproduction of hormones, including the stress steroid hormone cortisol, which can lead to T2D and high blood pressure.

The approval marks the first small interfering RNA therapy for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol reduction.

Rivaroxaban is indicated to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism.

The research team compared the monthly average blood pressures between 2018 and 2019 with blood pressure measures from January through March 2019 to January through March 2020.

Avapro (Irbesartan) is indicated for the treatment of hypertension and used to lower blood pressure.

Benicar (Olmesartan Medoxomil) is indicated for the treatment of hypertension.

Common triggers for atrial fibrillation include alcohol, caffeine, and less sleep.

Dabigatran and its acyl glucuronides are competitive, direct thrombin inhibitors.

Pharmacists can help to reduce the prevalence of food insecurity and its negative health care outcomes by tailoring clinical care to each individual patient’s needs.

Pharmacists can help patients manage their medications and any adverse effects, and can also educate patients about their condition and treatments.

Pharmacists can play an important role in avoiding common medication errors for patients receiving direct oral anticoagulants.

Rivaroxaban and apixaban are the most commonly prescribed direct oral anticoagulants, although they may be most effective in different populations.

Fibromuscular dysplasia typically appears in the arteries leading to the kidneys and brain.

Assessing stroke benefit and net clinical benefit of anticoagulation is essential in patients with end-stage renal disease and atrial fibrillation.

Patients ages 80 and older have unique considerations when deciding whether to initiate anticoagulation therapy.

Study results also show that the probability of dying from any cause is also 40% higher for individuals who have cardiovascular disease.

The long-term implications of post-COVID-19 myocardial injury detected by cardiac MRI are still unknown.

Investigators focus on the relationship with neuron activity and find that sodium consumption plays a role.

Survey results may imply that individuals who stop could have more health problems or die from a subsequent heart issue.

Lomecel-B (Longeveron) is an investigational allogeneic, bone marrow-derived medicinal signaling cell medication that is being evaluated in a phase 2 trial.

No differences found in all-cause mortality or stroke between patients with aortic stenosis at intermediate surgical risk who had transcatheter aortic valve replacement or surgery.

The cells, named nexus glia, resemble critical glial cells called astrocytes in the brain, and when these cells were removed, heart rate increased.

The investigators conducted a comprehensive review of epidemiological studies, finding a consistent association between extreme heat and a greater risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Individuals with diabetes and atrial fibrillation were less likely to notice symptoms of irregular heartbeat.

Bacteria, fungi, and other germs that cause endocarditis may enter the bloodstream through improper dental care, catheters, and IV drug use.
