Eating more than 5 a day 'brings no extra benefit'
Conclusion This systematic review of cohort studies has found higher consumption of fruit and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of death from any cause, with an average reduction in risk of 5% for each additional serving per day. There was a threshold observed at around five servings per day, after which the risk of death did not reduce further. Greater fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with decreased risk of death from cardiovascular disease, but higher consumption was not appreciably associated with death from cancer. As many of the news stories point out, this threshold at around five servings ...

Who might benefit from early aspirin after coronary artery surgery?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether early administration of aspirin might optimize vein graft patency. More than 250 papers were found using the reported search, of which 4 new papers in addition to the previous 7 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers are tabulated. Early postoperative aspirin administered within 6 h following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been show...

Republished: Clinical implications of the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction
The definition of myocardial infarction (MI) continues to evolve as refined ECG criteria, more advanced imaging, and more sensitive and specific biomarkers are developed. The acceptance globally of a clinically practical standard definition for everyday practice would allow for better comparisons across clinical experiences and further facilitate research in this critical area. Because of the evolution of better diagnostic tools and more information about the value and limitations of previous definitions, there was a need to update the Universal Definition of MI published in 20071 and this has recently been accomplished.2 ...

Molecular imaging of atherosclerosis: clinical state-of-the-art
Physicians depend greatly on imaging techniques that help them make clinical decisions. However, when a diagnosis is made on the basis of anatomical imaging alone, the disease process has often advanced beyond the point where preventative therapy can be applied. In many cardiovascular diseases, it is vital to detect pathological and normal processes at an early, subclinical stage, to enable early and improved diagnosis, prediction and treatment (figure 1A). This is particularly relevant to atherosclerosis, which can be clinically silent for decades and then manifest suddenly as an acute myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke...

Prescription sleeping pills linked to Alzheimer's risk
Conclusion This case control study has suggested that long-term use of benzodiazepines (over six months) may be linked with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease in older people. These findings are reported to be similar to other previous studies, but add weight to these by showing that risk increases with increasing length of exposure to the drugs, and with those benzodiazepines that remain in the body for longer. The strengths of this study include that it could establish when people started taking benzodiazepines and when they had their diagnosis using medical insurance records, rather than having to ask people to ...

Sufficient sleep duration contributes to lower cardiovascular disease risk in addition to four traditional lifestyle factors: the MORGEN study
Conclusions Sufficient sleep and adherence to all four traditional healthy lifestyle factors was associated with lower CVD risk. When sufficient sleep duration was added to the traditional lifestyle factors, the risk of CVD was further reduced.

Noninvasive ventilation in the treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders: concise clinical review
Abstract Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIPPV) was originally used in patients with acute respiratory compromises or exacerbations of chronic respiratory diseases, as an alternative to the endotracheal tube. Over the past 30 years NIPPV has been also used during the night in patients with stable chronic lung disease such as obstructive sleep apnea, the overlap syndrome (COPD and obstructive sleep apnea), neuromuscular disorders, obesity-hypoventilation syndrome, and in other conditions such as sleep disorders associated with congestive heart failure (Cheyne–Stokes respiration). In this review we discuss t...

November is National Diabetes Month!
To support National Diabetes Month this November, the NDEP and its partners want people to Be Smart About Your Heart: Control the ABCs of Diabetes More than 29 million Americans have diabetes, and it is estimated that one in every four people with diabetes does not even know they have the disease. If left undiagnosed or untreated, diabetes can lead to serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke. The good news is that people with diabetes can lower their chances of having diabetes-related heart problems by managing their Diabetes ABCs. A is for the A1C test (A-one-C). This is...

Your Credit Rating Might Predict How Likely It Is You'll Have A Heart Attack
A new study has found that your credit rating may be able to predict how likely you are to have a heart attack or stroke. The multi-decade study, which was published last week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was performed by Duke University psychologists who looked at the cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes status and smoking habits of over 1,000 New Zealanders -- and then compared their findings to those people’s credit ratings. The study found that people with lower credit scores were more likely to be at risk for cardiovascular disease. That, the study said, is because the same fa...

Sexual dysfunction common in people with coronary heart disease, but few cardiovascular changes actually occur during sexual activity
Commentary on: Bispo GS, de Lima Lopes J, de Barros AL. Cardiovascular changes resulting from sexual activity and sexual dysfunction after myocardial infarction: integrative review. J Clin Nurs 2013;22:3522–31. Implications for practice and research Risk of myocardial infarction (MI) or arrhythmia with sexual activity is low, despite anxieties expressed by patients. Sexual counselling is needed to assist patients who wish to be sexually active and maintain the quality of their sex life. Further research is needed to identify the most efficacious sexual counselling interventions. Context Patients with post-MI often re...
