We investigated the effect vigorous physical activity (VPA) on risk of incident mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and probable dementia among individuals with high-risk hypertension.
COVID-19 disease models have aided policymakers in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) with many critical decisions. Many challenges remain surrounding their use, from inappropriate model selection and adoption, inadequate untimely reporting of evidence, to the lack iterative stakeholder engagement policy formulation deliberation. These issues can contribute misuse hinder effective implementation. Without guidance on how address such challenges, true potential may not be realised. The...

Data concerning rate causes LIMA failure are scant. aim this paper to explore modes frequency sub-optimal grafts. We examined all cases invasive angiography performed in our cardiothoracic center 2016–2020 analyzed quality graft. Of 551 cases, 323 had undergone isolated grafting including since 2001; those, 59 (18%) appeared sub-optimal; 16 (5%)...

The effect of body weight variability (BWV) and change (BWC) in high-risk individuals with hypertension, but without diabetes mellitus (DM) remains unclear. We examined the BWV BWC on primary outcome [the composite myocardial infarction (MI), other acute coronary syndromes, stroke, decompensated heart failure (HF), or cardiovascular (CV) death] all-cause mortality Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT). In this post-hoc analysis, we used multivariate Cox regression models to...

Background: The relationship between self-rated health (SRH) and cardiovascular events in individuals with hypertension, but without diabetes mellitus, is understudied. Methods: We performed a post hoc analysis of data from SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial). SRH was categorized into excellent, very good, good fair/poor. Using multivariable Cox regression, we estimated hazard ratios 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association both all-cause mortality composite (the...
