Obesity and hypertension (HTN) frequently coexist with dysglycemia, yet it remains unclear whether general (BMI) versus central (waist circumference, WC) obesity indices show differential associations with HTN across normoglycemic, prediabetic, and diabetic states. This population-based study aimed to assess this relationship among adults aged 35 to 70 from the Bandare-Kong cohort. HTN was determined based on systolic blood pressure ≥130 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure ≥80 mm Hg, or…

CONCLUSION: Positive affect and life-satisfaction may benefit cardiovascular health by favorably affecting coagulation and inflammation, with potential implications for CHD prevention and intervention strategies.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a working diagnosis of MINOCA and preserved LV-EF constitute a low-risk population and demonstrate a favorable prognosis with symptom resolution within one year. Their HRQoL appears broadly similar to that observed in the general population, with only modest differences between the sexes.

CONCLUSIONS: Although IHD-arrhythmia mortality declined between 1999 and 2023, substantial disparities persisted across demographic and geographic subgroups, highlighting the need for targeted public health interventions.

CONCLUSIONS: There was no effect of testosterone treatment on telomere length in this group of men. Larger studies with longer treatment durations are merited.

CONCLUSIONS: Among patients undergoing EVT for large vessel occlusion stroke in Denmark, women with AF had higher odds of good functional outcome and men with AF showed higher successful reperfusion rates with advancing age. Safety and mortality outcomes were similar across groups with AF. These findings suggest age-and sex-specific influences on EVT outcomes associated with AF.

CONCLUSION: With increasing use of ADT and ARPIs and the high burden of cardiovascular comorbidities in Indian men with PCa, proactive cardiovascular risk assessment, individualized treatment selection, and coordinated multidisciplinary management are essential. This expert consensus provides actionable, India-specific guidance to balance oncologic efficacy with cardiovascular safety and improve long-term outcomes and quality of life for patients.

Major disease diagnoses can create shocks that ripple through households. Population-level evidence in the U.S. on how spouses and partners fare after a partner’s major diagnosis remains sparse and is often limited to caregivers or employment-related outcomes. Using the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (1992-2020), we evaluated population-level health spillovers to spouses after a partner’s first diagnosis of cancer, stroke, or heart disease, using a stacked event-study design with matching (n =…

CONCLUSIONS: In contemporary practice, EST is underused before elective CAG, particularly in women. Underuse of EST may contribute to incomplete ischemic assessment and under-recognition of alternative ischemic mechanisms, emphasizing the need for improved pre-CAG evaluation strategies.

CONCLUSIONS: In this sample of sexual and gender minority adults, the significant differences in the prevalence of unfavorable LE8 component scores between groups highlight the importance of population-specific interventions in future research.
