Noninvasive computational FFR predicts haemodynamic effects of stenting

Noninvasive computational FFR predicts haemodynamic effects of stenting

A novel noninvasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) calculation method uses data from computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) to accurately predict the haemodynamic effects of stenting, according to a recent Singapore study.

VO2 improvements after cardiac rehabilitation tied to better outcomes in high-risk HF

VO2 improvements after cardiac rehabilitation tied to better outcomes in high-risk HF

Higher-risk heart failure (HF) patients who show improvements in peak oxygen consumption (VO2) following cardiac rehabilitation (CR) have lower risks of new-onset atrial arrhythmias, mortality, and hospitalization due to HF exacerbation, a recent study has found.

Severe hypoglycaemia ups risk of adverse outcomes in older patients

Severe hypoglycaemia ups risk of adverse outcomes in older patients

Severe hypoglycaemia is a risk factor for hospitalization and mortality among older patients with diabetes, a study reports. The event may also serve as a marker of future cardiovascular events among those with pre-existing heart disease and obesity.
