For high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Late Mortality Mainly Noncardiac for TAVR Patients

Low rate of adverse events after the first month; good valve performance during follow-up
Dietary calcium in the form of supplements

Calcium Supplements May Be Detrimental to Heart Health

Higher incidence of coronary artery calcification in people who take calcium supplements
Watch-like wristbands that monitor heart rate may not offer true readings during exercise

Heart Rate Wristbands Often Display Inaccurate Data

In test of 4 models, 2 provided 'suboptimal' readings during exercise; none as accurate as chest strap
Radial artery occlusion after transradial access can be cut significantly with prophylactic ipsilateral ulnar compression

Ipsilateral Ulnar Compression Cuts Radial Artery Occlusion

Findings among patients undergoing transradial catheterization
Older adults have high incidence of cardiovascular risk factors

High Incidence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Older Adults

Blacks have increased incidence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, but not a-fib
Young adults with long-standing

Increased Total, CVD Mortality in Young Adults With T1DM

Incident rate ratio for hospitalized CVD about 8; revascularization accounts for much of increased risk
For patients with stable angina or acute coronary syndrome

Risks, Benefits of Cangrelor Consistent in Angina, ACS

Consistent reduction in composite of death, MI, ischemia-driven revascularization, stent thrombosis
Autologous platelet transfusion 24 or 48 hours after ticagrelor-mediated platelet inhibition has minimal effect

Platelet Transfusion Has Minimal Effect for Reversing Ticagrelor

Platelet transfusion 48 hours after clopidogrel has small reversing effect post-transfusion
Systolic blood pressure variability is associated with mortality

Systolic Blood Pressure Variability Linked to Mortality, Morbidity

Increased SBP variability tied to mortality, coronary heart disease, stroke, end-stage renal disease
Resistance interval training is associated with improved endothelial function

Resistance Interval Training Improves Endothelial Function

R-INT improves flow-mediated dilation throughout two-hour post-exercise period in T2DM patients
