Heart-brain interaction is an indisputable fact. The connection between vascular risk factors and/or cardiovascular disease and cognitive impairment and dementia has been supported by countless publications in the past 30 years. The most important studies concluded that vascular brain injury exacerbates cognitive ageing, and increases the risk for dementia both in its vascular type and in its… View more

ESC 22: PERSPECTIVE: Sacubitril/Valsartan & Cognitive Function in HFmrEF &
Author(s): John JV McMurray Added: 1 year ago
ESC Congress – Prof John McMurray (University of Glasgow, UK) joined us to discuss the finding of the PERSPECTIVE trial (NCT02884206). The trial assessed whether the angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi), sacubitril/valsartan (Novartis) has any negative impact on cognitive function in people who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) when compared with HFpEF… View more

Author(s): Juan Carlos Kaski Added: 3 years ago
This new issue of ECR features important contributions. There are three articles that deal with different aspects of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and heart failure; two conditions that represent major clinical and public health problems.

One of the greatest achievements of public health in the twentieth century has been the almost doubling of life expectancy in the Western world. Yet this now ageing population brings new challenges, as the prevalence of little-understood geriatric conditions increases, together with the rising prevalence of age-related disorders, such as syncope. The definition of syncope, as outlined by the… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia1 and increases the risk of stroke and thromboembolism, on average, fivefold.2 Strokes in AF are generally more severe and associated with greater mortality and disability than strokes from other causes.3 Prevention of stroke and thromboembolism is therefore an important part of AF management. Guidelines have, until now,… View more

Noise Pollution and Arterial Hypertension
Author(s): Thomas Münzel , Mette Sørensen Added: 3 years ago
The health burden of environmental noise has recently been quantified in a report of the World Health Organization (WHO) in terms of disabilityadjusted life years (DALYs; i.e., the number of years lost because of disability or death – a measure that combines both morbidity and mortality). The WHO estimates that – in western Europeans – each year 45,000 DALYs are lost because of noise-induced… View more
