Climate change predicted to spike cardiovascular deaths in China

Researchers at eBioMedicine project that climate change will significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in China, with human-induced warming potentially causing up to 90% of heat-related CVD deaths by 2090.

Discovery of new vascular cell type may pave way for novel strategies to treat cardiovascular diseases

Cardiovascular diseases, including stroke and myocardial infarction, are the world's leading causes of mortality, accounting for over 18 million deaths a year.

Study reveals long-term consequences of atrial fibrillation

The lifetime risk of atrial fibrillation (a heart condition that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate) has increased from one in four to one in three over the past two decades, finds a study from Denmark in The BMJ today.

Global disease burden study highlights COVID-19 impact and health inequities

Rates of early death and poor health caused by HIV/AIDS and diarrhea have been cut in half since 2010, and the rate of disease burden caused by injuries has dropped by a quarter in the same time period, after accounting for differences in age and population size across countries, based on a new study published in The Lancet. The study measures the burden of disease in years lost to early death and poor health.

Antipsychotics for dementia associated with elevated risks of serious adverse outcomes

Antipsychotic use in people with dementia is associated with elevated risks of a wide range of serious adverse outcomes including stroke, blood clots, heart attack, heart failure, fracture, pneumonia, and acute kidney injury, compared with non-use, finds a study published by The BMJ today.

Experts recommend shortening the blanking period after atrial fibrillation ablation

New evidence-based research calls into question the conventional three-month blanking period immediately after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, when early occurrences of AF are thought not to predict long-term AF recurrence.

Universities collaborate on $15 million project investigating inflammation's role in cardiac and brain diseases

Research teams from Northwestern University Chicago Campus, University of Michigan and University of Pittsburgh will lead a $15 million project dedicated to studying inflammation's role in cardiac and brain diseases.

Research reveals high prevalence of abnormal heart rhythms in adults with congenital heart disease

Almost 1 in 5 adults with congenital heart disease living in Israel had or developed an abnormal heart rhythm/arrhythmia during a five-year study, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.

Bidirectional Mendelian randomization uncovers link between plasma metabolites and heart attack risk

Myocardial infarction, more commonly known as a heart attack, is a leading cause of death worldwide. Biomarkers called plasma metabolites may play a key role in the physiological pathways involved in myocardial infarctions.

Lifetime risk of atrial fibrillation rises to nearly 31% in recent decade

The risk of both AF and its complications in a Danish national cohort, beginning from the age of 45 years.
