Mashup Score: 24Use of HEPA Purifiers at Home Can Significantly Reduce SBP - American College of Cardiology - 8 day(s) ago
Using portable high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) purifiers at home can significantly lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) in adults with elevated baseline readings, even in areas with relatively low overall air pollution levels, according to a study published Aug. 6 in JACC. In the randomized crossover trial of 154 adults without known cardiovascular disease living near highways, Doug Brugge, PhD, et al., randomized participants to one month of either HEPA or sham filtration, followed by a one-month

E-mail: E-mail Address: [email protected] Each era in cardiovascular medicine offers a moment when aspiration meets opportunity; when advances in science, tools, and awareness converge to push prevention from potential to practice. And yet, in the past decade, we have arguably lost ground. Nevertheless, science conti nues, and the hope of

Mashup Score: 62Does Weight Management Before Pregnancy Reduce Risk of Future CVD? - American College of Cardiology - 4 month(s) ago
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight before pregnancy may be instrumental in promoting maternal health and reducing future heart disease risk, according to findings from an observational study published April 14 in JACC. Researchers tracked outcomes over 10 to 14 years in 4,269 pregnant women across nine countries to assess whether adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) are a marker or mediator of prepregnancy BMI and later development of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The mean maternal age of

Mashup Score: 12Smoking From Childhood Associated With Greater Risk of Cardiac Damage - American College of Cardiology - 8 month(s) ago
Tobacco smoking from ages 10 to 24 years was associated with a 33% to 52% odds of premature structural and functional cardiac injury, according to a new study published in JACC. Furthermore, smoking from childhood through early adulthood was also associated with cardiac mass increase, with one-third of the effect estimate retained after controlling for risk factors. Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland, collaborating with the University of Bristol, analyzed 1,931 children and young adults

Mashup Score: 23A New Risk Model to Improve Stratification of Intermediate-Risk Patients For Primary Prevention? - American College of Cardiology - 1 year(s) ago
A new blood-based lipodomic-enhanced risk score (LRS) augmenting the Framingham Risk Sco re (FRS) may be superior to the FRS alone in improving stratification of intermediate-risk patients for primary prevention, according to results of a study published in JACC. The LRS was developed using a machine learning workflow using data from 10,339 patients in the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study (AusDiab), a population based prospective study conducted between 1999 and 2012, and was externally

Replacing regular salt with a salt substitute in the kitchens of elderly care facilities in China reduced the incidence of hypertension without increasing episodes of hypotension among older Chinese adults with normal blood pressure (BP), according to a post hoc analysis of the DECIDE-Salt study published Feb. 12 in JACC. DECIDE-Salt is a large, multicenter, cluster-randomized trial. The present analysis included 611 participants (mean age, 71.4 years; women, 25.7%; mean BP, 121.9/74.4 mm Hg); 313 lived
