Young adults who simultaneously have borderline high blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels face a significantly higher long-term risk of heart attack and stroke, even though they are often considered ‘low risk' 👉doi.org/10.1093/eurjpc/zwag2…
Cardiac telerehabilitation 📱 provides improvements in cardio-respiratory fitness and functional capacity with no statistically significant difference compared with center-based cardiac rehabilitation 👉 doi.org/10.1093/eurjpc/zwag2…
#Obesity is increasingly managed with medications as disease-modifying therapies, reflecting its role as a gateway disease driving metabolic, cardiovascular, reproductive, neuropsychiatric, and mechanical conditions thelancet.com/journals/landi…#weightloss#GLP-1 receptor agonists
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
Even before diabetes develops, dysglycaemia may increase AF risk. ⚠️
A meta-analysis including 26.4 million participants showed that prediabetes was associated with ⬆️15% risk of AF, supporting a dose–response relationship across glucose levels.

🏃♂️ More than 1 in 3 athletes show elevated cardiac troponin levels after exercise. This meta-analysis highlights that elevations are most common after endurance events lasting 3–6 h and with high-sensitivity cTnT assays.🫀

Resistant hypertension remains a high-risk condition but lower BP targets may help.
The STEP trial analysis found intensive BP control (<130 mmHg) was associated with substantially fewer cardiovascular events (64% ⬇️), without added safety concerns.

New from the Hordaland Health Study: elevated BP in early midlife was linked to greater arterial stiffness 27 years later in women but not in men. A powerful signal for earlier and sex-specific cardiovascular prevention. 🫀♀️

New issue of #EJPC released for “World Hypertension Day” is focused on HT care from precision BP phenotyping and vascular ageing to cuffless monitoring, digital health, renal denervation, and sex-specific prevention strategies.
