Public health: The benefits and challenges of smoking cessation
Nature Reviews Cardiology 10, 117 (2013). doi:10.1038/nrcardio.2013.17 Author: Megan Cully Smoking is bad for one's health. The habit increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, including ischaemic heart disease and stroke, as well as other conditions, such as cancer. The investigators of two studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine quantified smoking-associated mortality

Should we eat less salt?
Abstract High blood pressure is a major cardiovascular risk factor. There is overwhelming evidence that high salt consumption is a major cause of increased blood pressure. There is also a link between high salt consumption and risk of stroke, left ventricular hypertrophy, renal disease, obesity, renal stones and stomach cancer. Reducing salt consumption leads to a decrease in blood pressure and the incidence of cardiovascular disease. There are no deleterious effects associated with reducing salt consumption and it is also very cost-effective. Many organizations and state governments have issued recommendations re...

Alcohol intake and prognosis of atrial fibrillation
Conclusions High alcohol intake predicts thromboembolism or death, even after adjustment for established clinical risk factors, and may help identify high risk AF patients who could be targeted for stroke and cardiovascular prevention strategies.

Obesity paradox in peripheral vascular disease
To prevent cardiovascular diseases, it is essential to control risk factors, among which obesity is a world-wide issue that we are currently facing . Obesity was found to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor by the Framingham Heart study, in which the participants were followed up over 26 years; a higher risk was observed in both men and women whose body weights increased after the young adult years . It has been shown that obesity, particularly visceral obesity, is closely related not only to classical cardiovascular risk factors such as dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension, but also to insulin resistance, abn...

Cardiovascular Care for Women: The 10-Q Report and Beyond
Abstract: According to The National Coalition for Women's Health Research's 10Q Report: Advancing women's heart health through improved research, diagnosis, and treatment published in June 2011, cardiovascular disease (CVD), a term used to describe diseases of the heart or blood vessels, is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, causing more than 420,000 deaths among women annually. Experts estimate that one in two women will die of heart disease or stroke compared with one in 25 women who will die of breast cancer. Despite the fact that more women than men die each year of heart disease and that there...

Arterial thrombotic events and acute coronary syndromes with cancer drugs: Are growth factors the missed link? What both cardiologist and oncologist should know about novel angiogenesis inhibitors
Abstract: We aimed to revise the increasingly accruing data about the association between anti-tyrosinkinase, “targeted” cancer drugs and the development of arterial thrombotic events or acute coronary syndromes. Further insights into the involved pathophysiologic mechanisms, and into the clinical implications are overviewed.Antiangiogenesis has become a mainstream of cancer therapy, leading to development of a specific class of drugs. Besides, a “wider” angiogenesis network made up of several growth factors, can be recognized as target of a higher number of compounds. Their widespread use has been progressively fa...

High-sensitive cardiac troponin T and its relations to cardiovascular risk factors, morbidity, and mortality in elderly men
In this study, we investigated the associations of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) to cardiovascular (CV) disease and outcome in elderly men.Methods: Cardiac troponin T was measured using a high-sensitive assay in 940 men aged 71 years participating in the Uppsala Longitudinal Study of Adult Men. We assessed both the cross-sectional associations of cTnT to CV risk factors and morbidities including cancer and the longitudinal associations to outcomes over 10 years of follow-up.Results: Cardiac troponin T levels were measurable in 872 subjects (92.8%). In the cross-sectional analyses, cTnT was associated to CV risk factors (diabet...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Inhibitor-Induced Hypertension: From Pathophysiology to Prevention and Treatment Based on Long-Acting Nitric Oxide Donors.
Abstract Hypertension is the most common adverse effect of the inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway-based therapy (VEGF pathway inhibitors therapy, VPI therapy) in cancer patients. VPI includes monoclonal antibodies against VEGF, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, VEGF Traps, and so-called aptamers that may become clinically relevant in the future. All of these substances inhibit the VEGF pathway, which in turn causes a decrease in nitric oxide (NO) and an increase in blood pressure, with the consequent development of hypertension and its final events (e.g., myocardial infarction or stroke). To...

Long-term alcohol consumption is an independent risk factor of hypertension development in northern China: evidence from Kailuan study
Objective:The purpose of the present study was to determine the impact of alcohol consumption on the incidence of hypertension. Methods:A total of 32 389 male coal mine workers from Kailuan Coal Group in northern China (Kailuan study), free of hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemia attack and cancer, were followed up every 2 years for 4 years. The average alcohol intake during the past year was reported as baseline. Results:During 4 years of follow-up, 9151 out of 32 389 workers developed hypertension categorically. At the end of the follow-up, the cumulative incidence of hypertension in relati...

Heme iron intake and acute myocardial infarction: A prospective study of men
Conclusions: Findings from this prospective study indicate that a high heme iron intake, particularly with simultaneous low intake of minerals that can decrease iron absorption, may increase the risk of fatal AMI.
