A Sugar Replacement May Be Linked to Heart Attacks and Strokes. Don ’ t Throw Out Your Stash Yet
Sugar replacements are everywhere in foods and beverages. But despite their ubiquity, the scientific verdict on whether or not they pose health risks ping pongs back and forth. Every so often, though, a study is published with a conclusion so shocking that it forces people to reassess their pantries. A Feb. 27 study published in the journal Nature Medicine now seems to have dealt such a blow to the sweetener erythritol, with data that suggest a connection between the ingredient and cardiovascular events such as clotting, stroke, and heart attacks. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] But before you clear your shel...

Bioactive Compounds (BACs): A Novel Approach to Treat and Prevent Cardiovascular Diseases
Curr Probl Cardiol. 2023 Feb 23:101664. doi: 10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2023.101664. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the leading disorders of serious death and cause huge economic loss to patients and society. It is estimated that about 18 million people have a high death ratio due to the incidence of CVDs such as (stroke, coronary heart disease, and non-ischemic heart failure). Bioactive compounds (BACs) are healthy nutritional ingredients providing beneficial effects and nutritional value to the human body. Epidemiological studies strongly shed light on several bioactive compounds that ar...

Atrial fibrillation burden and cognitive function; a new horizon in the digital health era?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent clinical arrhythmia, is a major risk factor for stroke, and is associated with cardiovascular and total mortality. On the other hand, we have increasing evidence today on the association between AF and dementia which is another huge disease burden in the aging society. Numerous retrospective and prospective studies in recent years have reported a strong association between AF, cognitive decline, and dementia [1,2]. Such an association, however, need not be a causal relationship, because all these conditions very likely have a multifactorial interaction with other cardiovascula...

The relationship between state-level structural racism and disparities between the non-hispanic black and non-hispanic white populations in multiple health outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: There is a robust relationship between structural racism and Black-White disparities in multiple health outcomes across states. Programs and policies to reduce racial heath disparities must include strategies to help dismantle structural racism and its consequences.PMID:36801076 | DOI:10.1016/j.jnma.2023.01.010

How COVID-19 Changes the Heart —Even After the Virus Is Gone
While COVID-19’s effects on the lungs and respiratory system are well known, there is growing research suggesting that the virus is also affecting the heart, with potentially lasting effects. In a presentation at the annual meeting of the Biophysical Society, an international biophysics scientific group, Dr. Andrew Marks, chair of the department of physiology at Columbia University, and his colleagues reported on changes in the heart tissue of COVID-19 patients who had died from the disease, some of whom also had a history of heart conditions. The team conducted autopsy analyses and found a range of abnormalities, pa...

Association between baseline cardiovascular risk and incidence rates of major adverse cardiovascular events and malignancies in patients with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis receiving tofacitinib
CONCLUSION: In tofacitinib-treated patients with PsA/PsO, increased ASCVD risk and baseline MetS were associated with higher IRs for MACE and malignancies. Our results support assessing CV risk in patients with PsA/PsO and suggest enhanced cancer monitoring in those with increased ASCVD risk.REGISTRATION CLINICALTRIALSGOV: NCT01877668/NCT01882439/NCT01976364/NCT00678210/NCT01710046/NCT01241591/NCT01186744/NCT01276639/NCT01309737/NCT01163253.PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: People who have psoriatic arthritis or psoriasis may have more heart-related problems and cancer if they have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease: A study in...
