Prevalence of Cardiovascular Diseases Among Breast Cancer Survivors: Findings From the NHANES 2003-2018
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that BC survivors are at risk of suffering from CVD and public health strategies for the long-term management of CVD risk factors in this vulnerable population group is recommended.PMID:35975972 | DOI:10.1177/08901171221120910

Causes of death of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in Asians
ConclusionDeath due to ischemic stroke was responsible for only 4.7% of all deaths in Asian AF patients. Non-CV death, such as infection/sepsis or malignancy, was more far more prevalent than CV death in Asian AF patients. An improved integrated care approach is needed to reduce the prevalence of non-CV death in Asian AF patients.

Socioeconomic variation in the financial consequences of ill health for older people with chronic diseases: A systematic review
Abstract: Chronic disease has financial consequences for older adults, but it is unclear how this varies between conditions with different disease trajectories. The aim of this study was to review evidence on the financial burden associated with cancer, heart failure or stroke in older people, to identify those most at risk of financial adversity. We systematically searched nine databases for studies with data on the illness-related financial burden (objective), or on the perception of financial hardship (subjective), of older patients and/or their informal caregivers in high-income countries. We identified thirty-eight pa...

UCLA Nursing research on women and heart disease among key topics at nursing conference
New findings on the role gender plays in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart disease will be among the research topics highlighted by faculty members and students from the UCLA School of Nursing at the annual Western Institute of Nursing Conference, which runs from April 11 to 13 in Anaheim, Calif.
At a special state-of-the-science panel on Saturday, April 13, UCLA professor Lynn V. Doering will present a review of gender differences in identification, treatment and outcomes for cardiovascular disease, with a focus on coronary atherosclerosis, heart failure and stroke. During the same panel, UCLA profes...

No evidence that the price of fame is an early death
Conclusion
Given our obsession with celebrity lifestyles, it’s perhaps not surprising that this study has attracted so much interest. It seems to support popular beliefs about the cost of fame in terms of drug addiction and high-risk behaviours such as smoking, drinking and drug abuse.
However, as the lead author – Professor Epstein, from the School of Medicine, University of Queensland – conceded, a one-off analysis of obituaries published in a specific newspaper, with no comparison group, proves very little. Examining another random sample of 1,000 deaths of high-profile people, or the general population, from the...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Abstract
The global prevalence of physiologically defined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults aged >40 yr is approximately 9-10 per cent. Recently, the Indian Study on Epidemiology of Asthma, Respiratory Symptoms and Chronic Bronchitis in Adults had shown that the overall prevalence of chronic bronchitis in adults >35 yr is 3.49 per cent. The development of COPD is multifactorial and the risk factors of COPD include genetic and environmental factors. Pathological changes in COPD are observed in central airways, small airways and alveolar space. The proposed pathogenesis of COPD includes pr...

Obesity paradox in peripheral vascular disease
To prevent cardiovascular diseases, it is essential to control risk factors, among which obesity is a world-wide issue that we are currently facing . Obesity was found to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor by the Framingham Heart study, in which the participants were followed up over 26 years; a higher risk was observed in both men and women whose body weights increased after the young adult years . It has been shown that obesity, particularly visceral obesity, is closely related not only to classical cardiovascular risk factors such as dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension, but also to insulin resistance, abn...

Arterial thrombotic events and acute coronary syndromes with cancer drugs: Are growth factors the missed link? What both cardiologist and oncologist should know about novel angiogenesis inhibitors
Abstract: We aimed to revise the increasingly accruing data about the association between anti-tyrosinkinase, “targeted” cancer drugs and the development of arterial thrombotic events or acute coronary syndromes. Further insights into the involved pathophysiologic mechanisms, and into the clinical implications are overviewed.Antiangiogenesis has become a mainstream of cancer therapy, leading to development of a specific class of drugs. Besides, a “wider” angiogenesis network made up of several growth factors, can be recognized as target of a higher number of compounds. Their widespread use has been progressively fa...

Midlife fitness predicts less burden of chronic disease in later life.
CONCLUSIONS: Healthy, fit, middle-aged adults developed fewer chronic conditions in later life than unfit persons and had a lesser burden of chronic disease before death.

Chronic disease co-morbidity of asthma and unscheduled asthma care among adults: results of the national telephone health interview survey German Health Update (GEDA) 2009 and 2010.
CONCLUSIONS: The magnitude of chronic disease co-morbidity is substantial in asthma, is related to unscheduled asthma care, and implies a significant number of adults with asthma facing complex healthcare needs.

Anthropometric measures in relation to risk of heart failure hospitalization: a Swedish population-based cohort study
Conclusion: Our results support the view that raised BMI, WC, WHR or BF% increases the risk of HF hospitalization. The joint exposure of high BMI and high WHR or high WC further increased the risk in an additive way.

P-154 * bilobectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer: results of a multicentre study on 425 cases
Conclusions: Bilobectomy is associated with increased morbidity. Five-year survival is influenced by tumour stage and completeness of resection. Worse survival occurs in adenocarcinoma and bronchus intermedius involvement.
Disclosure: No significant relationships.
