Cross-Sectional Study Shows Rising PPI Use in Chinese ACS and AF Patients at Discharge
Why are nearly two-thirds of heart patients now getting stomach acid blockers at discharge?
This cross-sectional study examined 531 Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome and atrial fibrillation at a Beijing hospital.
Nearly two-thirds of heart patients leaving the hospital now receive stomach acid blockers, a sharp rise from just 21% a decade ago.
Stellate ganglion modulation alters ventricular arrhythmic vulnerability in myocardial infarction simulation models
Your Heart's Hidden Wiring May Trigger Dangerous Rhythms After a Heart Attack
This simulation study utilized 14 patient-specific ventricular models to assess stellate ganglion-mediated sympathetic modulation.
Stress nerves near the heart can silently raise the risk of dangerous rhythms long after a heart attack heals and scans look stable.
Combined NT-proBNP, DLK-1, PSP-D, and PCSK-9 detection shows moderate diagnostic performance for HFpEF
New blood markers may help diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction more accurately
This prospective biomarker cohort study evaluated 58 HFpEF patients and 30 healthy controls to assess the diagnostic utility of specific bio…
Mixing four blood markers improves heart failure diagnosis accuracy compared to standard tests alone, offering a clearer path to early detec…
Methylene blue arterial perfusion increases lymph node detection in rectal cancer resection patients
Blue Dye Helps Surgeons Find More Cancer Cells
A retrospective cohort study of 120 patients undergoing radical rectal cancer resection found that methylene blue arterial perfusion with he…
A simple blue dye injection helps surgeons find more cancer cells, leading to better treatment plans for people with rectal cancer.
Anemia prevalence is 56.4% in heart failure patients, linked to worse clinical profiles
Low Iron Could Be Making Heart Failure Worse
A retrospective cohort study of 2,144 adult HF patients in Saudi Arabia found anemia prevalence of 56.4% (95% CI 54.3–58.5%), with moderate …
Low iron is far more common in heart failure than doctors assume, and it tracks closely with how sick the heart actually is.
