Sleep duration and risk of stroke and coronary heart disease: a 9-year community-based prospective study of 0.5 million Chinese adults
CONCLUSIONS: While abnormal sleep duration (≤ 6 h or ≥ 9 h) was associated with higher risks of CVD, the risks were more extreme for those reporting ≤ 5 or ≥ 10 h, respectively and such individuals should be prioritised for more intensive treatment for CVD prevention.PMID:37710209 | DOI:10.1186/s12883-023-03367-4

Evidence-based carotid artery–based interventions for stroke risk reduction
C. Keith Ozaki, MD Approximately 800,000 individuals still experience a stroke in the United States each year. Despite a relative rate reduction of 37% over the last decade, in 2009, stroke still caused 1 of every 19 deaths (ranks only behind heart disease, cancer, and chronic lower respiratory disease). It remains the leading cause of serious long-term disability, with a staggering economic toll (estimated $38.6 billion in 2009). Driven by trends such as the aging population and rise in the metabolic syndrome, projections show that by 2030 an additional 4 million people will have had a stroke, a 22% increase in prevalence from 2013.

Opposite impacts of dietary versus supplemental calcium on cardiovascular health
Commentary on: Li K, Kaaks R, Linseisen J, et al.. Associations of dietary calcium intake and calcium supplementation with myocardial infarction and stroke risk and overall cardiovascular mortality in the Heidelberg cohort of the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition study (EPIC-Heidelberg). Heart 2012;98:920–5. Context Calcium supplementation is widely used to maintain bone health. Growing data suggests that calcium supplementation, but not dietary calcium intake, may harm cardiovascular (CV) health.1 2 There is no randomised controlled trial (RCT) that addressed CV events as primary endpoints...

The global burden of neurologic diseases
WHO categorizes causes of death and disability into (1) communicable diseases, maternal and perinatal conditions, and nutritional deficiencies; (2) non-communicable diseases (NCD); and (3) injuries. NCD are the leading cause of death and disability globally and are rising as a result of demographic and epidemiologic changes occurring in both developed and developing countries.1,2 Increasing life expectancies, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and harmful use of alcohol contribute to the growing incidence and prevalence of NCD, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancers, and chronic respiratory disease...

Postmenopausal Hormone Therapy and the Risks of Coronary Heart Disease, Breast Cancer, and Stroke
Semin Reprod Med 2014; 32: 419-425DOI: 10.1055/s-0034-1384624The principal findings are briefly reviewed from the Women's Health Initiative trials of the most commonly used postmenopausal hormone regimens in the United States—conjugated equine estrogens and these same estrogens plus medroxyprogesterone acetate. A more detailed review is presented for three major clinical outcomes: coronary heart disease (CHD), the primary trial outcome for which a major benefit was hypothesized; invasive breast cancer, the primary safety outcome for which some adverse effect was expected; and stroke which surfaced as an important adverse...

High blood pressure: Why me?
“I go to the gym, and I never add salt. So why do I have high blood pressure?” Despite its astonishing prevalence of one in three Americans, many people struggle with the diagnosis of high blood pressure, or hypertension. It’s worth exploring why, because being an active participant in your care is crucial for optimal blood pressure control.
Certain features make any diagnosis easier to accept:
First, people are more likely to accept a diagnosis if they have symptoms. A person with cough and fever will believe a diagnosis of pneumonia. But someone who feels fine would not.
Next, people more readily accept a diagnosi...

Worldwide, 81 per cent of school-aged children are not active enough. Photo: WHOBy Baher KamalROME, Feb 2 2017 (IPS)Tired, lazy, bored, laying down long hours watching TV or seated checking your email? Wrong. And dangerous: not enough exercise contributes to cancer, diabetes, depression and other non-communicable diseases. The warning is bold and comes from the United Nations top health organisation, which is urging people to get up and get active.And the risks of inactivity are expanding alarmingly: according to a new document by the World Health Organization (WHO), less and less people are active in many countries – wi...

Studies: Low-Dose Aspirin May Not Prevent Initial Heart Attack, Stroke
Taking a low-dose aspirin every day has long been known to cut the chances of another heart attack, stroke or other heart problem in people who already have had one, but the risks don’t outweigh the benefits for most other folks, major new research finds.
Although it’s been used for more than a century, aspirin’s value in many situations is still unclear. The latest studies are some of the largest and longest to test this pennies-a-day blood thinner in people who don’t yet have heart disease or a blood vessel-related problem.
One found that aspirin did not help prevent first strokes or heart attacks...

Intake of 12 food groups and disability-adjusted life years from coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer in 16 European countries
AbstractOur aim was to estimate and rank 12 food groups according to disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and colorectal cancer (CRC) in 16 European countries. De novo published non-linear dose –response meta-analyses of prospective studies (based on 297 primary reports), and food consumption data from the European Food Safety Authority Comprehensive European Food Consumption Database in Exposure Assessment, and DALY estimates from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation were use d. By implementing disease-specific counterfactual scenarios of the...

RPS assessment of research into effects of lycopene on the risk of heart attack, stroke and cancer
Source: Royal Pharmaceutical Society
Area: News
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society has featured a report on a small study in which scientists claim a single pill which contains a chemical found in tomato skin (lycopene) could cut the risk of heart attacks, stroke and even slow down the development of cancer.
The two-month study looked at 36 patients with pre-existing heart disease, who were already taking cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, and 36 healthy volunteers. Tests showed that the natural remedy boosts the elasticity and efficiency of blood vessels; in turn this reduces the hardening of the arteries which ...

Fifteen-Year Trends in Awareness of Heart Disease in Women: Results of a 2012 American Heart Association National Survey.
CONCLUSIONS: Awareness of CVD among women has improved in the past 15 years, but a significant racial/ethnic minority gap persists. Continued effort is needed to reach at-risk populations. These data should inform public health campaigns to focus on evidenced-based strategies to prevent CVD and to help target messages that resonate and motivate women to take action.

Aspirin prophylaxis in people without prior cardiovascular disease does not lead to reductions in cardiovascular death or cancer mortality
Commentary on: Seshasai SR, Wijesuriya S, Sivakumaran R, et al.. Effect of aspirin on vascular and nonvascular outcomes: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Arch Intern Med 2012;172:209–16. Context Prophylactic antiplatelet therapy with aspirin reduces the risk of non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke and vascular death in patients with known cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is of net benefit. The absolute reduction in recurrent events significantly exceeds the increase in major bleeding.1 However, the role of aspirin in primary prevention of CVD is not clear. According to the Antithrombot...
