Stress-related and sleep disorders linked to higher stroke risk

Adults with both kinds of disorders had a stroke hazard ratio—a measure of relative risk—of 1.33 compared with those with neither.Adults with both kinds of disorders had a stroke hazard ratio—a measure of relative risk—of 1.33 compared with those with neither.

Lung artery pressure kept rising into very late life

In 479 older adults followed for 12.5 years, average lung artery pressure rose by 8 millimeters of mercury from its starting level.In 479 older adults followed for 12.5 years, average lung artery pressure rose by 8 millimeters of mercury from its starting level.

Pulmonary arteries connect hearts to lungs, with dense dark flow shapes in the larger pair and sparse pale shapes in the smaller pair, above faceless people.

Higher frailty linked to hospital deaths on heart-lung support

Deaths occurred in 49.3% of hospitalizations with high frailty scores versus 45.6% with low scores among adults on heart-lung support.Deaths occurred in 49.3% of hospitalizations with high frailty scores versus 45.6% with low scores among adults on heart-lung support.

US heart death rate from high blood pressure rose at ages 65 and older

The age-adjusted death rate rose from 53.31 per 100,000 in 1999 to 204.2 in 2024 among US adults aged 65 and older.The age-adjusted death rate rose from 53.31 per 100,000 in 1999 to 204.2 in 2024 among US adults aged 65 and older.

Heart risk scores underestimated risk after cancer immunotherapy

Among patients rated low risk, heart attacks and strokes occurred at 8.0-fold and 6.5-fold the rates predicted by two standard calculators.Among patients rated low risk, heart attacks and strokes occurred at 8.0-fold and 6.5-fold the rates predicted by two standard calculators.

Blood protein patterns changed years before heart failure

More than 1,200 blood proteins were linked to future heart failure about 18 years before diagnosis, rising to about 3,600 closer to diagnosis.More than 1,200 blood proteins were linked to future heart failure about 18 years before diagnosis, rising to about 3,600 closer to diagnosis.

Wearable data predicted blood pressure crises 72 hours ahead

In a separate validation group, the model detected 82.1% of crises; 31.6% of positive predictions corresponded to a crisis.In a separate validation group, the model detected 82.1% of crises; 31.6% of positive predictions corresponded to a crisis.

Cardiovascular risk links varied by sex and age at onset

A cohort study followed 261,291 women and 205,873 men for a median 15.4 years, finding that risk-factor links differed by age when disease began.A cohort study followed 261,291 women and 205,873 men for a median 15.4 years, finding that risk-factor links differed by age when disease began.
