In patients with intermediate risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease along with risk-enhancing factors, coronary artery calcium scoring may help more precisely calculate their need for statin therapy. Furthermore, when the need for statin treatment isn’t so clear and patients need additional risk assessment, the scoring can provide further information to personalize clinical decision making, according […]
Further evidence that powerful magnets in some Apple iPhones can interfere with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) comes from a small study that also suggests some devices are more susceptible than others. The iPhone 12 Pro Max with MagSafe technology interfered with CIEDs implanted in three consecutive patients presenting to an electrophysiology lab and in eight […]
There was no significant difference in cardiovascular events or major bleeding between patients with established coronary heart disease (CHD) assigned to a daily aspirin dose of 81 mg and those receiving a dose of 325 mg in the 15,000-patient ADAPTABLE trial. Although substantial dose switching occurred in the trial, particularly from the higher to the […]
A UBC Okanagan researcher is urging people to learn and then heed the symptoms of atrial fibrillation (AF). Especially women. Dr. Ryan Wilson, a post-doctoral fellow in the School of Nursing, says AF is the most commonly diagnosed arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) in the world. Despite that, he says many people do not understand the pre-diagnosis […]
A study using data from Veterans Health Administration (VHA) electronic medical records shows a significant association between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among female veterans and an increased risk for incident ischemic heart disease (IHD). The increased risk for IHD was highest among women younger than 40 with PTSD, and among racial and ethnic minorities. “These […]
Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are strongly associated with global cognitive impairment in patients with schizophrenia in new findings that suggest the need for an aggressive management approach. Investigators found that metabolic syndrome (MetS), hypertension, and diabetes were associated with poorer performance in specific cognitive domains, including attention/vigilance, reasoning and problem solving, speed of […]

Do patients with advanced heart failure benefit from data-supported, timely management in collaboration with a medical telemedical centre, in short: telemonitoring with defined minimum requirements? This question was investigated by the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) on behalf of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA). The results of the assessment have […]
