Unlocking Cardiovascular Health
In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published the “Ten Great Public Health Achievements—United States, 2001–2010.”1 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention made the list. Indeed, the combination of reductions in major cardiovascular risk factors, such as elevated blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking, combined with improvements in t reatments led to a substantial reduction in the prevalence of stroke and coronary heart disease over the past decades. Unfortunately, heart disease and stroke continue to be responsible for more deaths than cancer and lung diseases combined.

E-129 Trends in demographic and geographic disparities of stroke-related mortality in older adults in the United States from 1999 to 2020
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States. Many risk factors are controversial, and their relative importance is not fully understood. Elucidating the association between demographic and geographic disparities and stroke-related mortality in older adults will guide policy to alleviate stroke burden. This retrospective cohort study characterizes stroke-related mortality among individuals aged 55 and older in the United States from January 1999 to December 2020 using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database. Segmented regressio...

Single Versus Multiarterial Grafts for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Analysis of Recent Data
ACCORDING TO THE Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 37.3 million people with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the United States.1 The main cause of death for patients with DM, types 1 and 2, is coronary artery disease (CAD), with a 2- to 4-fold increased risk of mortality for heart disease.2 The trend of increased morbidity and mortality in patients with DM is likely due to its more complex and diffuse CAD pattern.3 Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard compared to percutaneous coronary intervention for CAD in patients with DM, with reductions in mortality, myocardial infarction, and ...

Stewardship for Science and Vaccines
Despite the success of vaccines in the modern world, including the rapid development of the COVID-19 vaccine, my state is now experiencing a large measles outbreak and a decline in immunization rates. At the turn of the century, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published “Ten Great Public Health Achievements” of the twentieth century in the United States.1 Vaccination topped the list, a national and global success story. Other achievements included improvements in motor-vehicle safety, control of infectious diseases, safer workplaces, decline in deaths from coro nary heart disease and stroke, safer and he...

Nanocarriers and Diabetes: New Vistas and the way ahead
Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2022 Dec 27. doi: 10.2174/1389201024666221227140728. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWorld Health Organization has reported an estimated 1.5 million deaths directly due to diabetes in 2019. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in its National Diabetes Statistics Report, 2020, says that 1 in 10 United States residents has diabetes. This rapid progression of diabetes is noteworthy despite significant advances in the field of antidiabetic medicine. The critical challenges in treatment are dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperglycemia. The latest research has also linked diabetes to carcinogenesi...

5 Minutes To Better Heart Health
Americans are living through a blood pressure crisis. Maybe you, or someone you love, is one of them…
In the United States, 65% of adults over the age of 50 are living with above-normal blood pressure – increasing their risk of heart attack and stroke.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Because high blood pressure can also put you at higher risk for developing dementia later in life.1
Of course, Big Pharma doesn’t see this as a big problem. They know they can use this crisis to sell more drugs… drugs that never fail to do more harm than good.
But a new study reveals how you can lower blood pressure – a...

New Data From Two Large Studies Reinforce Effectiveness of Dual Pathway Inhibition (DPI) with XARELTO ® (rivaroxaban) Plus Aspirin in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and/or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
RARITAN, N.J., May 23, 2022 – Findings from the XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) Phase 3 COMPASS Long-Term Open Label Extension (LTOLE) study and the XARELTO® in Combination with Acetylsalicylic Acid (XATOA) registry have been published in the European Society of Cardiology’s (ESC) European Heart Journal, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy. Additionally, the XATOA registry was presented at the American Congress of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session (ACC.22). These studies provide further evidence supporting the role of dual pathway inhibition (DPI) with the XARELTO® vascular dose (2.5 mg twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg...

For HIV/AIDS Survivors, COVID-19 Reawakened Old Trauma —And Renewed Calls for Change
Forty years ago this month, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report noted a rare lung infection among five otherwise healthy gay men in Los Angeles, Calif. Though they didn’t know it at the time, the scientists had written about what would turn out to be one of the historical moments that launched the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic.
Since then, HIV/AIDS has killed an estimated 35 million people, including 534,000 people in the U.S. from 1990 to 2018 alone, according to UNAIDS, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in modern history. Over...

This County Tried to Ensure Racial Equity in COVID-19 Vaccinations. The State Said No
It takes about eight minutes to try and save a life.
Or at least that’s how long it takes a volunteer with a tablet, standing in the parking lot at the T.R. Hoover Community Development center in South Dallas on a bitterly cold February morning. During the pandemic, the small nonprofit situated in the neighborhood that developers in the 1920s dubbed “the Ideal community” has taken on an ever evolving list of roles. It’s a job-search center. It’s a drive-through food pantry. And, of late, T.R. Hoover is an in-person coronavirus vaccine registration site aimed at helping Ideal’s mainly Bla...
