Noninvasive Cardiac Event Monitoring to Detect Atrial Fibrillation After Ischemic Stroke, A Randomized, Controlled Trial
Background and Purpose - Atrial fibrillation (AF) elevates risk of recurrent stroke but is incompletely identified by standard investigation after stroke, though detection rates correlate with monitoring duration. We hypothesized that 7 days of noninvasive cardiac-event monitoring early after stroke would accelerate detection of AF and thus uptake of effective therapy. Methods - We ...

The Symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation
An array of symptoms can suggest the presence of the common heart irregularity Atrial Fibrillation. While it affects millions of people worldwide, it is also widely acknowledged that Atrial Fibrillation (AF) can be a condition that is relatively difficult to diagnose as the symptoms can be intermittent. Traditionally, AF is diagnosed by a physician checking the patient’s pulse, but ...

What is Atrial Fibrillation?
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a cardiac condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Characterized by a rapid, irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia, it can potentially lead to other serious conditions and also increase the risk of stroke in patients who have AF. It is estimated that there are currently some 4.5 million confirmed cases of AF in the European Union and more than 2.3 million ...

Will Metformin Be Replaced By SGLT-2 Inhibitors
Metformin is a classic first-line hypoglycemic agent for patients with type 2 diabetes, and is an essential drug in combination regimenes. However, as the evidence is updated, the idea of drug selection for first-line treatment is changing. GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors in combination with or without metformin (as required for glycemic management) have also been recommended by multiple ...

Diabetes: Medications, Treatments, and Remedies
Lifestyle can have a big impact on how your body handles blood glucose and sometimes a change in habits and activities is all that’s needed to prevent or better manage diabetes. But if changes in lifestyle aren’t enough to keep blood sugar levels normal, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower insulin levels or insulin therapy. We’ll discuss here the most often ...

Design and R&D of Covalent Drugs
For a long time, electrophilic groups have been a minefield in drug development. Therefore, in the classic medicinal chemistry textbooks of the past, it is always recommended to avoid introducing functional groups such as epoxide, acridine and Michael receptor into the structure of drug molecules, because these functional groups are highly reactive and may interact with a wide range of biological ...

Landmark study confirms that controlled blood pressure is key to prevent stroke, heart disease
Follow-up data from the landmark SPRINT study of the effect of high blood pressure on cardiovascular disease have confirmed that aggressive blood pressure management — lowering systolic blood pressure to less than 120 mm Hg — dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death from these diseases, as well as death from all causes, compared to lowering ...

Worldwide Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation
The prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation globally is rising at a significant rate. However, researchers, scientists and clinicians remain uncertain as to how many people may have the heart irregularity because of this rapid growth. In addition, there are concerns that because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be millions of people worldwide with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) who have not been ...

3 tips to improve cardiovascular health
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) cause 17 million deaths globally every year, making it the leading cause of death around the world. The cardiovascular system—which includes your heart and blood vessels—distributes oxygen through the body and removes waste. Every cell in the body depends on this process to run smoothly. Your cardiovascular system plays a key role in your overall ...

Duplicating the conditions of the body - Case Study
For centuries, folklore has recognized that garlic is a cure-all, preventing heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure. With the help of Sierra, Dr. David Kraus, a seasoned Sulfide Biologist, and his team at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have demonstrated just how garlic derived compounds produce Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and can relax the vessels in our ...

In Silico Development of Combinatorial Therapeutic Approaches Targeting Key Signaling Pathways in Metabolic Syndrome
Purpose Dysregulations of key signaling pathways in metabolic syndrome are multifactorial, eventually leading to cardiovascular events. Hyperglycemia in conjunction with dyslipidemia induces insulin resistance and provokes release of proinflammatory cytokines resulting in chronic inflammation, accelerated lipid peroxidation with further development of atherosclerotic alterations and diabetes. We ...

The 7-Steps to Recuperation from Stroke Arm Paralysis
About two-thirds of those that experience arm paralysis after stroke are unable to fully use their affected limb six months after stroke (1-3). Not having a fully functional arm and hand after a stroke is not only frustrating but also devastating to many individuals. Day-to-day operations and activities of daily living become more difficult, take longer to complete, and may require assistance ...
