Women Less Likely to Receive Guideline-Recommended Medications Following Stroke

4 days ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | Jessica Nye

After stroke, men and women receive differing poststroke prevention medications, according to results of a study published in Stroke. Previous studies have found that women were less likely to receive hyperacute therapies, early mobilization interventions, and secondary preventative medications than men after stroke.
Waist-to-Height Ratio Better Predicts Liver Outcomes Than BMI

5 days ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | Jessica Nye

Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) cutoffs better predict liver steatosis and fibrosis than BMI categories, according to study findings published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society. The BMI measure is unable to distinguish between fat and muscle mass or regional fat distribution. Current evidence suggests that WHtR is a universally consistent measure of excess adiposity.
Atorvastatin Offers Long-Term Cardiovascular and CHD Beneficial Effects

1 week ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | Ron Goldberg

Early introduction of atorvastatin to prevent cardiovascular (CV) disease and mortality is supported by long-term legacy effects showing significant reduction in fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary heart disease (CHD), nonfatal MI, total coronary events, and CV mortality, according to study findings published in Heart. Investigators analyzed 20-year follow-up data for fatal and nonfatal CV outcomes in the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT)-lipid-lowering arm (LLA).
Preeclampsia Increases Risk for Myocardial Infarction Later in Life

1 week ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | Jessica Nye

Risk for myocardial infarction (MI) and worse MI outcomes are higher among patients with history of preeclampsia. These findings were published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes. Patients who have hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are at higher risk for lifetime cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the relationship between preeclampsia and MI is poorly understood.
Patients With COPD Who Had COVID-19 and Are Unvaccinated Use More Health Care

1 week ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | Ron Goldberg

Long-term health care utilization (HCU) is greater among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have tested positive for COVID-19, although usage may be attenuated by vaccinations, according to study findings published in Chest. Researchers evaluated the impact of previous COVID-19 infection on long-term health care utilization among individuals with COPD. Analyses were stratified by vaccination status and COVID-19 variant periods.
Genetic Predisposition, Maternal Hyperglycemia Exposure Affect Glucose Tolerance

Youth with elevated genetic risk for diabetes who were exposed to maternal hyperglycemia in utero are at increased risk for worse glycemic outcomes. These findings were published in Diabetes Care.
TADV in No-Option Limb-Threatening Ischemia Linked With Long-Term Limb Salvage

1 week ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | Ron Goldberg

Transcatheter arterialization of the deep veins (TADV) in no-option chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is associated with high rates, sustained through 2 years, of amputation-free survival (AFS) and limb salvage (LS), according to study results presented at the 2025 Vascular Annual Meeting, held from June 4 to 7, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Investigators compared long-term outcomes between patients with no-option CLTI receiving TADV vs standard-of-care (SOC).
CT Emphysema Subtypes May Help Target Early Cardiac Care Interventions in COPD

1 week ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | Ron Goldberg

Emphysema subtypes, identified via computed tomography (CT), may be linked to cardiopulmonary subphenotypes that can help to target cardiac care interventions in the early stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This was among the findings of a study published in Chest.
Particulate Matter Exposure in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Linked With Death

1 week ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | Ron Goldberg

Long-term exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5) and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm or less (PM10) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) affects pulmonary hemodynamics and disease severity and is associated with increased risk for lung transplantation or death, according to study findings published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
Indefinite Clopidogrel May be Superior to Indefinite Aspirin After PCI and DAPT

1 week ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | Jessica Nye

Compared with aspirin, clopidogrel reduces risk of mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and completion of a standard duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). These findings were published in The Lancet. Current recommendations are to use indefinite aspirin monotherapy after completing post-PCI DAPT. However, these recommendations are largely based on results from meta-analyses.
