Cardiovascular Mortality Rate Has Decreased in Nondialysis CKD Population
Deaths from ischemic heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases have decreased among patients with nondialysis-dependent CKD.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Strength of Risk Factors for Stroke Vary by Age
Association of hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes with stroke appears to be substantially reduced at older ages
Biomarker Improves Prediction of Major Bleeding in Hemodialysis Population
GDF-15 adds predictive value to the HAS-BLED score for assessing major bleeding risk.
Chronic Kidney Disease Risk Higher in the ‘Stroke Belt’
In a novel finding, living in the southeastern United States is an independent risk factor for new-onset CKD.
Extreme Temperatures Up Risk for Cardiovascular Mortality
At extreme temperature percentiles, risk increased for dying from any cardiovascular cause, ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure
SGLT2 Inhibitor Plus MRA May Further Reduce Cardiovascular Risks
SGLT2 inhibitors and MRAs might provide complementary effects for organ protection, according to investigators.
Air Pollution Tied to Stroke and Trajectories After
Strongest association seen for first stroke and weaker associations seen for cardiovascular events, death after stroke
Psychosocial Stress Tied to Higher Risk for Acute Stroke
Locus of control appears to modify the effect size of work stress on stroke risk
Statin Use Linked to Reduced Risk for Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Risk reduced for lobar and nonlobar intracerebral hemorrhage; greater reductions seen with prolonged use ≥5 years
IHD, Stroke Risk Up for Offspring Born to Moms With Preeclampsia
Association mainly independent of preterm or SGA birth, may be partly explained by unmeasured familial factors
