Age of menopause, healthy lifestyle and cardiovascular disease in …
Dec 16, 2024 · Background Menopause is a timely opportunity to screen for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and intervene with healthier lifestyles. We investigated the association between premature/early menopause and the likelihood of CVD and whether a healthy lifestyle is associated with a lower likelihood of CVD in menopausal woman. Methods The Sax Institute’s 45 and Up Study prospectively recruited ...
Long-term incidence of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator …
4 days ago · Background Treatment with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) effectively prevents sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Identifying patients most likely to benefit from a primary prevention ICD remains challenging. We aimed to investigate the long-term incidence of ICD therapy in patients with HCM according to SCD-risk at baseline.
Age-stratified comparison of heart age and predicted …
Dec 10, 2024 · Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) preventive medications are recommended for patients at high short-term CVD risk. As most younger people with multiple raised CVD risk factors levels have low short-term risk, they could be falsely reassured to take no action. Heart age—the chronological age of a hypothetical person with the same short-term absolute CVD risk as the patient being ...
Transitioning to high-sensitivity troponin: 1-year mortality …
Jan 15, 2025 · Background Switching from a conventional to a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assay enables detection of smaller amounts of myocardial damage, but the clinical benefit is unclear. We investigated whether switching to a hs-cTnI assay with a sex-specific 99th centile diagnostic threshold was associated with lower 1-year death or new myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with ...
Prevalence, incidence and survival of heart failure: a systematic ...
Studies of the epidemiology of heart failure in the general population can inform assessments of disease burden, research, public health policy and health system care delivery. We performed a systematic review of prevalence, incidence and survival for all available population-representative studies to inform the Global Burden of Disease 2020. …
