Elevated homocysteine level ups mortality risk in hypertensive adults

20 Jan 2022

The interaction of hypertension and total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) levels contributes to the risk of all-cause mortality among middle-aged and older adults, a US study has found. In addition, hypertension may boost the ability of elevated tHcy to aggravate this risk.

NT-proBNP strongly linked to HFpEF risk among early menopausal women

20 Jan 2022

Menopause status does not appear to modify the association between N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a biomarker of heart failure (HF), and the risk of HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), according to a study. However, this association is more pronounced among women on their early menopause.

Higher olive oil intake may lower risk of death in adults

17 Jan 2022

Greater consumption of olive oil results in a reduced risk of total and cause-specific mortality, suggests a US study, noting that substituting margarine, butter, mayonnaise, and dairy fat with olive oil can lower the risk of death.

Patients receptive to home-based cardiac telerehabilitation programs

17 Jan 2022 by

Patients seem to have positive opinions of home-based cardiac telerehabilitation programs, finding the usability, utility, and acceptability of such interventions to be good, according to a recent Singapore study. Nevertheless, these programs still have room for improvement, particularly as regards interactivity, peer interactions, and postintervention support.
