Insomnia and Cardiovascular Health: Exploring the Link Between Sleep Disorders and Cardiac Arrhythmias
AbstractCardiovascular diseases (CVDs), driven by modern lifestyles, have increased, with atrial fibrillation (AF) being a major concern linked to heart failure and stroke. Insomnia affects a large population, especially younger individuals, males, and menopausal women, decreasing the quality of life and potentially causing autonomic disturbances and cardiac arrhythmias.Purpose of ReviewThis review explores the link between insomnia and cardiac arrhythmias, particularly AF, and its impact on cardiovascular health and emphasizes the need to address insomnia in individuals with cardiac arrhythmias by tailored strategies for ...

Women with PCOS have an increased risk for cardiovascular disease regardless of diagnostic criteria - a prospective population-based cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: PCOS should be considered a significant risk factor for CVD. Future follow-up will show how the risk of CVD events develops after menopausal age.PMID:37436934 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvad077

Testosterone replacement therapy in relation with cardiovascular disease in cisgender women and transgender people
CONCLUSION: Use of TTh increased the risk of CVD, CAD and stroke among is cisgender women, but not among transgender people. TTh is becoming more widely accepted in women, and it is the main medical treatment for transgender males. Therefore, use of TTh should be further investigated for the prevention of CVD.PMID:37392459 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgad388

Association Between Physical Activity and Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in Women With Early Menopause: Evidence From the UK Biobank Cohort
This study sought to determine the association of early menopause with incident coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure (HF), arrhythmia and stroke, and evaluate if higher physical activity (PA) is protective in this setting.

7 Myths About Cholesterol, Debunked
You may not recall every lab value from your last physical, but you probably remember one: Your cholesterol level.
If it’s higher than ideal, you’re not alone. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 2015 and 2018, almost 12% of U.S. adults ages 20 and up had high total cholesterol, defined as above 240 mg/dL. The type that physicians mostly worry about is LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol, which is one component of that total.
Why do doctors care so much about cholesterol? First, “it predicts risk,” says Dr. Jeffrey Berger, a cardiologist and director of the C...

The comparative effect of exercise interventions on balance in perimenopausal and early postmenopausal women: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised, controlled trials
Menopause is associated with a range of physiological, psychological and social implications [1,2]. Changes in endocrine function have also been related to higher risks for cardiovascular disease, stroke and osteoporosis [3 –5]. Furthermore, an earlier age of menopause onset is related to greater frailty in later life [6].

Menopause, lipids and cardiovascular risk
The greatest mortality burden for women in Europe is due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as stroke and coronary heart disease. Women develop CVD on average 10 years later than men. Premenopausal women have a more favorable CVD risk factor profile characterized by lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure and a lower prevalence of diabetes. During the transition to menopause, women experience changes in phenotype and metabolism associated with an increased risk of CVD; including increase in abdominal fat, increase in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDLC) and systolic blood pressure, and increased insulin resistance.

Does resveratrol improve cognition in humans? A scientometric study to an in-depth review
CONCLUSION: This study supports the hypothesis that chronic RES intake may positively affect brain function. But it has become challenging to determine the optimal dose, time and duration of RES and improve the bioavailability of RES, which many researchers need to overcome.PMID:37248634 | DOI:10.1111/cns.14276

Sex Differences in Cardiovascular Risk Associated with Pre-Diabetes and Undiagnosed Diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Pre-DM or undiagnosed T2D was associated with a greater excess risk of CVD in women than in men. The sex differential in CVD risk among those without the T2D diagnosis suggests the need for sex-specific guidelines in T2D screening and treatment.PMID:37192710 | DOI:10.1016/j.amepre.2023.05.011
