Heart attacks could be predicted years in advance with a simple X-ray showing Abdominal Aortic Calcification (AAC)
Researchers evaluated the prognostic importance ofabdominal aortic calcification (AAC)viewed on noninvasive imaging modalities such as X-ray. Electronic databases (MEDLINE and Embase) were searched until March 2018 and the analysis included 52 studies with a total of 36,000 patients. However, only studies of patients with chronic kidney disease (57%) and older ‐elderly (median age 68 years) had sufficient data to meta‐analyze. People with any or more advanced AAC had higher risk of cardiovascular events (RR, 1.83), fatal cardiovascular events (RR, 1.85, and all ‐cause mortality (RR, 1.98). Higher ‐risk populations,...

Latest in lipidology: is lipoprotein(a), Lp(a), "the most dangerous particle you ’ve never heard of"?
Dr Attia's podcast on Lp(a), the link is here:https://peterattiamd.com/tomdayspring6/Discussed:- ApoB as a preferred metric over LDL-P [16:30]; Atherogenic lipoproteins (apoB/LDL-P) as front and center in pathogenesis of CVD. ApoB and LDL-P are used interchangeably, but this is not quite accurate.- Therapeutic goals for apoB concentration [21:45]-Lipoprotein(a)—the most dangerous particle you’ve never heard of [55:00];preferred lab measurements [1:17:45]; Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a distinctive particle with 2 components: - a lipoprotein core that resembles LDL- a shell that contains apolipopro...

Elevated White Blood Cell Count (WBC) Linked With Cardiovascular Disease
A growing body of evidence suggests that low grade inflammation contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease and, specifically, coronary artery disease (CAD). WBC-derived macrophages and other phagocytes are believed to contribute to vascular injury and atherosclerotic progression. Multiple markers of inflammation have been tested as potential risk factors for the development of CAD such as IL-6, E-selectin and CRP.Elevated white blood cell count (WBC) that is well within the normal range was associated with an increased risk for developing CAD in multiple studies. A large-scale study demonstrated that a s...

People who live in neighborhoods with green spaces have less stress, healthier blood vessels and lower risk of heart attack and stroke
People who live in neighborhoods with more green spaces may have less stress, healthier blood vessels and a lower risk of heart attacks and strokes.Residential greenness is associated with lower levels of sympathetic activation, reduced oxidative stress, and higher angiogenic capacity. This is independent of age, sex, race, smoking status, neighborhood deprivation, statin use, and roadway exposure.For this study (see the link below), researchers tested for a variety of biomarkers of stress and heart disease risk in blood and urine samples from 408 patients at a cardiology clinic in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.Residents of th...

New blood pressure guideline creates a new level of disease affecting people previously deemed healthy
FromNEJM:The guideline defines normal blood pressure as below 120/80 mm Hg and elevated blood pressure as 120 to 129. What is now called stage 1 hypertension was previously labeled “prehypertension” — a term meant to alert patients and to prompt physicians to provide lifestyle educationBy reclassifying people formerly considered to have prehypertension as having hypertension, the guideline creates a new level of disease affecting people previously deemed healthy. According to this definition, about 46% of U.S. adults have hypertension, as compared with about 32% under the previous definition.The guideline recommends ...

Men ’ s Health Month: Getting Back to the Basics

Physicians at the University of Maryland Medical Center say some men only give in when they have symptoms, when major treatments are required, or when preventive steps are more demanding. Even so, it’s never too late to start on the road to health.
June, Men’s Health Month, is a great time to focus on preventable health problems and encourage early detection and ...
