Diabetes Patients Less Often Perceive Atrial Fibrillation Symptoms
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have diabetes less often perceive AF symptoms, although they are more likely to have cardiac and neurologic comorbidities.
Myocardial Infarction
Lifetime Excess Weight Linked to Subclinical Myocardial Injury
Long-standing obesity has a detrimental effect on cardiovascular health.
Biomarker-Based Risk Score May Predict Heart Failure in Type 2 Diabetes
People with type 2 diabetes are at an increased risk of several health complications, including heart failure. Researchers analyzed data from two large multinational trials to see if certain biomarkers could predict those at greatest risk for being hospitalized due to a serious cardiovascular event.
Insulin Use Linked to Risk for MACE Among Individuals With Stable Diabetes and Acute Coronary Syndrome
Investigators evaluated data from BETonMACE to assess a relationship between the use of insulin and risk of MACE in patients with diabetes and acute coronary syndrome.
SGLT2 Inhibitors Lead to Favorable Renal, CV Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes
Using certain glucose inhibitors in people with type 2 diabetes may also have a beneficial effect on renal and cardiovascular health, and weight.
Intensive Prevention Program Decreases Long-Term Risks After MI
This study evaluated the effects of a 12-month intensive prevention program based on regular contacts between nonphysician “prevention assistants” and patients who had had an MI.
Delaying Glycemic Control After T2D Diagnosis Raises Risk for All-Cause Mortality, Myocardial Infarction
The researchers examined the relationships of T2D all-cause mortality and myocardial infarction with prior HbA1c values and explored the potential impact of instituting earlier glucose-lowering therapy.
Hypothyroid Status Predicts Poor Outcomes Following Acute Myocardial Infarction
Researchers conducted a prospective cohort study to evaluate the prognostic role of thyroid dysfunction in acute myocardial infarction.
Orlistat Therapy for Obesity Linked to Fewer Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events
A team of UK-based investigators explored the long-term cardiovascular outcomes in patients with obesity who were administered orlistat therapy.
Silent Myocardial Infarction Associated With Incident Ischemic Stroke
The longitudinal, prospective study assessed whether an association existed between MI with a silent manifestation and the occurrence of subsequent ischemic stroke.
