Cardiac rehab equally effective post-COVID

Cardiac rehabilitation produces functional capacity gains and quality of life improvements in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), and a history of COVID-19 does not blunt this effect, according to a study.

Time-restricted eating reshapes gut microbiota to induce weight loss

14 hours ago

A recent study suggests that time-restricted eating (TRE) may help reduce weight and improve cardiometabolic health by regulating gut microbiota and serum metabolites.

Novel oral small-molecule PCSK9 inhibitor shows promise in hypercholesterolemia

20 hours ago

In the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, the investigational oral small-molecule PCSK9 inhibitor laroprovstat appears well tolerated and may help reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels when used in combination with rosuvastatin, according to a phase I study.

Perfusion studies enhance benefits of mechanical thrombectomy for stroke beyond 6-hour window

a day ago by

Cerebral perfusion studies (CPS) can enhance the benefits of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) beyond the standard 6-hour post-stroke window, although favourable functional outcomes remain achievable in a substantial proportion of patients selected based on clinical judgement alone without CPS. These findings, from a study by researchers at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), suggest that stroke patients should not be routinely denied treatment solely because of delayed presentation or lack of CPS availability.

CCB outperforms beta-blocker for managing hypertension in HFpEF

a day ago by

The oral dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB) amlodipine appears more beneficial than the beta-blocker metoprolol for managing hypertension in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), with greater effects on blood pressure (BP) control and exercise capacity, as shown in a randomized crossover trial.

Is baricitinib safer than TNFi for RA patients at risk of VTE?

a day ago by

Treatment with baricitinib misses the noninferiority mark against tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) in active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients enriched for venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk factors with high baseline disease activity, reports a study.
