Morning vs Midday Exercise; LVADs and Cancer; Reperfusion Injury After Thrombectomy

Is diabetes slipping in importance as a cardiovascular risk factor? (JAMA)

Morning exercisers in the U.K. Biobank tended to have lower cardiovascular disease risk than those saving their physical activity for midday. (European Journal of Preventive Cardiology)

Models incorporating risk factors and coronary artery calcium scores trumped the traditional prediction model for myocardial infarction and death, reclassifying more patients as low risk along the way. (Journal of the American College of Cardiology)

At one large health system, a remote blood pressure and cholesterol medication management program worked for patients across racial and ethnic groups. (JAMA Cardiology)

According to large Nordic registries, maternal preeclampsia was linked to higher risks of ischemic heart disease and stroke in offspring. (JAMA Network Open)

Renowned epidemiologist and preventive cardiology researcher Lewis Kuller, MD, DrPH, died at age 88 late last month. (New York Times)

Fatigue among COVID long-haulers did not correlate with cardiovascular disease, echocardiographic findings, or biomarker abnormalities. Only those with severe functional impairment and elevated troponin T levels were at risk for impaired cardiac function, according to a single-center study. (Scientific Reports)

Artificial intelligence can analyze coronary CT scans to identify poor blood flow. (Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Modeling suggests that heart failure patients needing coronary revascularization would do better with coronary bypass artery grafting surgery than percutaneous coronary intervention. (European Heart Journal)

Use of SGLT2 inhibitors was linked to lower rates of incident heart failure in people with cancer and diabetes, a retrospective cohort study showed. (Heart)

Heart failure patients with a history of cancer — but not those with cancer therapy-induced cardiomyopathy — had worse outcomes with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). (Circulation: Heart Failure)

Imaging suggests that reperfusion injury is common after stroke thrombectomy and associated with poor outcomes at 3 months. (Stroke)

Based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, social determinants of health tracked closely with cardiovascular health in white adolescents but not Black adolescents. (Journal of the American Heart Association)

Smoke and aerosols from tobacco and marijuana products made rats more susceptible to atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and severe cardiac fibrosis. (HeartRhythm)
