Aldosteronism Linked to AF and Stroke Risk in Older Adults
Added: 2 months ago Source:  Radcliffe CVRM
A spectrum of primary aldosteronism, indicated by a higher aldosterone-renin ratio (ARR), may contribute to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischaemic stroke in older adults, according to a new cohort study analysis.¹MethodologyThis prospective cohort analysis used data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. The investigation included 3,477 community-dwelling… View more

hsCRP Improves CV Risk Prediction in Primary Prevention
Added: 1 month ago Source:  Radcliffe CVRM
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a marker of inflammation, has a debated role in primary cardiovascular (CV) prevention. A large, population-based study using UK Biobank data has provided further insight into its utility as a clinical biomarker for identifying individuals at residual risk who do not have known atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).¹MethodologyThis population… View more

Higher ARR Linked to AF and Stroke Risk in Older Adults
Added: 2 months ago Source:  Radcliffe CVRM
Renin-independent aldosteronism is a common and often underrecognised condition. A new analysis from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study has investigated whether this broader spectrum of aldosteronism is associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older, community-dwelling adults.¹MethodologyThis prospective cohort analysis included 3,477 participants from the ARIC… View more

DIGIT-HF: Digitoxin Reduces Primary Outcome in Symptomatic Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Added: 8 months ago Source:  Radcliffe Cardiology
AUTHOR: Yazmin SadikNew findings from the DIGIT-HF trial indicate that adding low-dose digitoxin to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) can reduce the risk of hospitalisation and all-cause mortality in patients with symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).¹The results were presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025 and simultaneously… View more
