Obesity-Related Cardiovascular Disease Deaths SurgingIn contrast to an overall decline in cardiovascular mortality, obesity-related cardiovascular deaths have risen substantially in the past two decades, most prominently among Black women.
Minimizing Atrial Pacing No Benefit in Sinus Node Disease: DANPACE IIMinimizing atrial pacing does not alter the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) associated with sinus node dysfunction (SND), suggest results of a trial that randomly assigned patients with SND who had received their first pacemaker implant to one of two pacing programs.
Heartbeat: improving outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrestImmediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation are essential in ensuring survival after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), which is estimated to account for 15–20% of global mortality. Yet widespread training in CPR and availability of public defibrillators remains suboptimal in many places.
Reproductive Technologies Not Tied to Maternal CVDAfter a median follow-up of 11 years, women who gave birth with the assistance of reproductive technology were not at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to those who did not receive this intervention, a new study shows.
Adverse Fetal Environment Is a Cardiovascular Risk Factor Fetal exposure to poorly controlled diabetes or other situations that overtax the heart, or to intrauterine growth restriction, is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, according to the most recent evidence.
