Women with hardened arteries may need stronger treatment to … – European Society of Cardiology

Barcelona, Spain 11 May 2023: Postmenopausal women with clogged arteries are at higher risk of heart attacks than men of similar age, according to research presented at EACVI 2023, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC),1 and published in European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging.2 The study in nearly 25,000 adults used imaging techniques to examine the arteries and followed patients for heart attacks and death.

The study suggests that a given burden of atherosclerosis is riskier in postmenopausal women than it is in men of that age, said study author Dr. Sophie van Rosendael of Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands. Since atherosclerotic plaque burden is emerging as a target to decide the intensity of therapy to prevent heart attacks, the findings may impact treatment. Our results indicate that after menopause, women may need a higher dose of statins or the addition of another lipid-lowering drug. More studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Atherosclerosis is the narrowing of arteries due to deposits of fat and cholesterol in what is called plaque. While young women do have heart attacks, in general, women develop atherosclerosis later in life than men and have heart attacks at an older age than men,3 in part because of the protective effect of oestrogen. This study examined whether the prognostic importance of atherosclerotic plaques are the same for women and men at different ages as this could be important for selecting treatments to prevent heart attacks.

The study included 24,950 patients referred for coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and enrolled in the CONFIRM registry, which was conducted in six countries in North America, Europe, and Asia. CCTA is used to obtain 3D images of the arteries in the heart.

Total atherosclerotic burden was rated using the Leiden CCTA score, which incorporates the following items for each coronary segment: plaque presence (yes/no), composition (calcified, noncalcified or mixed), location, and severity of narrowing, for a final value of 0 to 42.4 Patients were divided into three categories previously found to predict the risk myocardial infarction: low atherosclerotic burden (0 to 5), medium (6 to 20) and high (over 20). In addition, obstructive coronary artery disease was defined as 50% narrowing or more.

The primary outcome was the difference in Leiden CCTA score between women and men of similar age. The investigators also analysed sex differences in the rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), which included all-cause death and myocardial infarction, after adjusting for age and cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, current smoking and family history of coronary artery disease).

A total of 11,678 women (average age 58.5 years) and 13,272 men (average age 55.6 years) were followed for 3.7 years. Regarding the primary outcome, the study showed an approximately 12 year delay in the onset of coronary atherosclerosis in women: the median Leiden CCTA risk score was above zero at age 64 to 68 years in women versus 52 to 56 years in men (p<0.001). In addition, the overall plaque burden as quantified by the Leiden CCTA score was significantly lower in women, who had more non-obstructive disease.

Dr. van Rosendael said: The results confirm the previously reported delay in the start of atherosclerosis in women. We also found that women are more likely to have non-obstructive disease. It was formerly thought that only obstructive atherosclerosis caused myocardial infarction but we now know that non-obstructive disease is also risky.The burden of atherosclerosis was equally predictive of MACE in premenopausal women (aged under 55 years) and men of the same age group. However, in postmenopausal women (age 55 years and older), the risk of MACE was higher than men for a given score. In postmenopausal women, compared to those with a low burden, those with a medium and high burden had 2.21-fold and 6.11-fold higher risks of MACE. While in men aged 55 years and older, compared to those with a low burden, those with a medium and high burden had 1.57-fold and 2.25-fold greater risks of MACE.

Dr. van Rosendael said: In this study, the elevated risk for women versus men was especially observed in postmenopausal women with the highest Leiden CCTA score. This could be partly because the inner diameter of coronary arteries is smaller in women, meaning that the same amount of plaque could have a larger impact on blood flow. Our findings link the known acceleration of atherosclerosis development after menopause with a significant increase in relative risk for women compared to men, despite a similar burden of atherosclerotic disease. This may have implications for the intensity of medical treatment.

You are what you eat: healthier diet may improve fitness – European Society of Cardiology

Sophia Antipolis, 11 May 2023: A healthy diet is associated with greater physical fitness in middle-aged adults, according to research published today in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).1

This study provides some of the strongest and most rigorous data thus far to support the connection that better dietsmaylead to higher fitness, said study author Dr. Michael Mi of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, US. The improvement in fitness we observed in participants with better diets was similar to the effect of taking 4,000 more steps each day.

Cardiorespiratory fitness reflects the bodys ability to provide and use oxygen for exercise, and it integrates the health of multiple organ systems, such as the heart, lungs, blood vessels and muscles. It is one of the most powerful predictors of longevity and health.2 While exercise increases cardiorespiratory fitness, it is also the case that among people who exercise the same amount, there are differences in fitness, suggesting that additional factors contribute. A nutritious diet is associated with numerous health benefits, but it has been unclear whether it is also related to fitness.

This study examined whether a healthy diet is associated with physical fitness in community-dwelling adults. The study included 2,380 individuals in the Framingham Heart Study. The average age was 54 years and 54% were women. Participants underwent a maximum effort cardiopulmonary exercise test on a cycle ergometer to measure peak VO2. This is the gold standard assessment of fitness and indicates the amount of oxygen used during the highest possible intensity exercise.

Participants also completed the Harvard semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire to assess intake of 126 dietary items during the last year ranging from never or less than once per month to six or more servings per day. The information was used to rate diet quality using the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI; 0 to 110) and Mediterranean-style Diet Score (MDS; 0 to 25), which are both associated with heart health. Higher scores indicated a better quality diet emphasising vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, legumes, fish and healthy fats and limiting red meat and alcohol.

The researchers evaluated the association between diet quality and fitness after controlling for other factors that could influence the relationship, including age, sex, total daily energy intake, body mass index, smoking status, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, diabetes and routine physical activity level. The average AHEI and MDS were 66.7 and 12.4, respectively. Compared with the average score, an increase of 13 points on the AHEI and 4.7 on the MDS was associated with a 5.2% and 4.5% greater peak VO2, respectively.3

Dr. Mi said: In middle-aged adults, healthy dietary patterns were strongly and favourably associated with fitness even after taking habitual activity levels into account. The relationship was similar in women and men, and more pronounced in those under 54 years of age compared to older adults.

To discover the potential mechanism linking diet and fitness, the researchers performed further analyses. They examined the relationship between diet quality, fitness and metabolites, which are substances produced during digestion and released into the blood during exercise. A total of 201 metabolites (e.g. amino acids) were measured in blood samples collected in a subset of 1,154 study participants. Some 24 metabolites were associated with either poor diet and fitness, or with favourable diet and fitness, after adjusting for the same factors considered in the previous analyses. Dr. Mi said: Our metabolite data suggest that eating healthily is associated with better metabolic health, which could be one possible way that it leads to improved fitness and ability to exercise.

Regarding limitations, he noted: This was an observational study and we cannot conclude that eating well causes better fitness, or exclude the possibility of a reverse relationship, i.e. that fit individuals choose to eat healthily.

Dr. Mi concluded: There are already many compelling health reasons to consume a high-quality diet, and we provide yet another one with its association with fitness. A Mediterranean-style diet with fresh, whole foods and minimal processed foods, red meat and alcohol is a great place to start.

Cardiologist arrested on suspicion of murder at Berlin hospital … – Reuters

BERLIN, May 8 (Reuters) - German police have arrested a cardiology specialist suspended from Berlin's Charite hospital on suspicion of murder, police and prosecutors said in a statement on Monday.

The 55-year-old is suspected of having knowingly administered high doses of a sedative to two seriously ill patients in intensive care who died as a result, according to the statement.

The cardiologist was suspended from Charite in August 2022.

Prosecutors initiated an investigation at that time, but an arrest warrant could only be issued upon receipt of a medical report showing that the high doses of sedative had not been medically justifiable, police and prosecutors said.

There were a total of four suspicious deaths involving the cardiologist, but only in two cases was it beyond doubt that the medication administered had been unjustifiable, they added.

The suspect will appear before a Berlin magistrate later on Monday.

Under 40s with mental health problems have elevated risks of heart … – European Society of Cardiology

Sophia Antipolis, 9 May 2023: Adults in their 20s and 30s with mental disorders have an up to three-fold elevated likelihood of a heart attack or stroke, according to a study in more than 6.5 million individuals published today in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).1 Lifestyle behaviours did not explain the excess risk. One in every eight of the 20- to 39-year-old participants had some kind of mental illness including depression, anxiety and insomnia.

Psychological problems were common in young adults and had strong links with cardiovascular health, said study author Professor Eue-Keun Choi of Seoul National University College of Medicine, Republic of Korea. The findings indicate that these individuals should receive regular health check-ups and medication if appropriate to prevent myocardial infarction and stroke. While lifestyle behaviours did not explain the excess cardiovascular risk, this does not mean that healthier habits would not improve prognosis. Lifestyle modification should therefore be recommended to young adults with mental disorders to boost heart health.

This study investigated the association between mental disorders in adults aged 20 to 39 years and the risks of developing myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke. The study used the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database which covers the countrys entire population. A total of 6,557,727 individuals aged 20 to 39 years who underwent health examinations between 2009 and 2012 and had no history of myocardial infarction or stroke were included in the study. The average age was 31 years, and more than half (58%) of participants were 30 years or older.

Some 856,927 (13.1%) participants had at least one mental disorder. Among those with mental disorders, nearly half (47.9%) had anxiety, more than one in five (21.2%) had depression and one in five (20.0%) had insomnia. More than one-quarter (27.9%) of participants with mental health problems had somatoform disorder, while 2.7% had substance use disorder, 1.3% had bipolar disorder, 0.9% had schizophrenia, 0.9% had an eating disorder, 0.7% had personality disorder and 0.4% had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Participants were followed until December 2018 for new-onset myocardial infarction and stroke. During a median follow-up of 7.6 years, there were 16,133 myocardial infarctions and 10,509 strokes.2 The authors analysed the association between mental disorders and cardiovascular outcomes after adjusting for factors that could influence the relationships including age, sex, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, smoking, alcohol, physical activity and income.

Participants with any mental disorder had a 58% higher likelihood of myocardial infarction and 42% greater risk of stroke compared to those with no mental disorder. The risk of myocardial infarction was elevated for all mental disorders studied, with the magnitude ranging from 1.49- to 3.13-fold. Looking at each condition separately, compared to participants with no mental disorder, the risk of myocardial infarction was 3.13 times higher in those with PTSD, 2.61 times higher for schizophrenia, 2.47 times higher for substance use disorder, 2.40 times higher for bipolar disorder, 2.29 times higher for personality disorder, 1.97 times higher for eating disorders, 1.73 times higher for insomnia, 1.72 times higher for depression, 1.53 times higher for anxiety and 1.49 times higher for somatoform disorder.

The risk of stroke was elevated for all mental health issues except PTSD and eating disorders, with hazard ratios ranging from 1.25 to 3.06. The hazard ratios for each condition were 3.06 for personality disorder, 2.95 for schizophrenia, 2.64 for bipolar disorder, 2.44 for substance use disorder, 1.60 for depression, 1.45 for insomnia, 1.38 for anxiety and 1.25 for somatoform disorder.

The authors also analysed the associations according to age and sex. Depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and personality disorder were associated with higher risks of myocardial infarction for participants in their 20s compared with those in their 30s. In addition, depression and insomnia were linked with greater risks of heart attack and stroke in women than men.

Study author Dr. Chan Soon Park of Seoul National University Hospital, Republic of Korea, said: Patients with mental health problems are known to have a shorter life expectancy than the general population, with the majority of deaths due to physical illnesses. Our study shows that substantial numbers of young adults have at least one mental health problem, which may predispose them to heart attack and stroke. Future research should examine the cardiovascular benefits of managing psychological problems and monitoring heart health in this vulnerable group.

Cell Phone Use Linked to Hypertension Risk? – Medscape

Using a mobile phone to make or receive calls for just 30 minutes a week is associated with an increased risk of developing hypertension, a large observational study using UK Biobank data suggests.

The study showed adults who spent that at least a half-hour per week on their mobile phone had a 12% increased risk of developing hypertension, whereas those who spent more than 6 hours weekly had a 25% increased risk, compared with a weekly usage time of under 5 minutes.

The investigators caution, however, that the results are purely "hypothesis-generating" and require confirmation, the researchers say.

Experts not involved in the study also urged caution in interpreting the results.

"This study should not be considered a basis to recommend reducing time spent using mobile phones to make calls as a technique to avoid hypertension," Matthew Tomey, MD, cardiologist, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.

"The study is retrospective and, like all retrospective studies, there was a huge risk for unmeasured confounding variables," Mark Estes III, MD, past chair of the American Heart Association scientific publishing committee and the Council on Clinical Cardiology, told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.

"There is no need at this point, based on the available evidence, to limit cell phone usage because it might result in higher frequency of hypertension," said Estes, professor of medicine, Division of Cardiology, University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The study was published online May 4 in European Heart Journal Digital Health.

Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy, which has been associated with increased blood pressure after short-term exposure. However, potential ties between mobile phone use for making and receiving calls and risk of new-onset hypertension remain uncertain, they note.

To investigate, Xianhui Qin, MD, PhD, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China, and colleagues evaluated data on 212,046 adults (mean age, 54 years; 62% women) from the UK Biobank without a history of hypertension.

Information on mobile phone usage to make and receive calls was collected through a self-reported questionnaire at baseline, including years of use, hours per week, and using a hands-free device/speakerphone.

The vast majority (88%) of participants were mobile phone users, defined as using a mobile phone at least once a week.

During a median follow up of 12 years, 13,984 (7%) participants developed new-onset hypertension.

After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, mobile phone users had a 7% higher risk of new-onset hypertension (hazard ratio [HR] 1.07; 95% CI, 1.01 - 1.12; P = .018), compared with non-users.

Among mobile phone users, compared with those with a weekly usage time of less than 5 minutes, significantly higher risks of new-onset hypertension were found in those with a weekly usage time of 30 minutes to more than 6 hours. The results were similar in women and men.

Table. Risk of New-onset Hypertension by Cell Phone Usage

Adults with high genetic risk for hypertension who spent 30+ minutes on their mobile phone had a 33% higher likelihood of new-onset hypertension (HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.24 - 1.43) compared with peers with low genetic risk who spent greater than 30 minutes a week on the phone.

Years of mobile phone use and using a hands-free device/speaker phone were not significantly related to the development of hypertension.

The investigators caution that the UK Biobank does not include data on the type of mobile phone technology used, and other sources of electromagnetic waves.

Another limitation is that the study population is predominantly White middle-aged adults or White older adults and healthier than the UK general population. A third limitation is that information on mobile phone use was assessed once at baseline and usage might have changed over time.

Tomey noted that the study is not designed to establish a causal linkage and said postulated mechanisms for a biological connection between mobile phone use to make calls and hypertension "remain speculative."

"Among mobile phone users, there were significant differences in almost every measured covariate reported in the baseline characteristics, further reinforcing the need for caution in attributing apparent differences in hypertension to the use of the mobile phones to make calls," Tomey told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.

Nonetheless, "we should absolutely be thinking hard about the impact of mobile device usage on our health, not simply about the impact of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, but more profoundly (and insidiously) about the effects of device usage and media consumption on our attitudes, habits, and psychosocial well-being," Tomey said.

Estes encourages physicians to look at this study as "an opportunity to have a discussion with their patients about hypertension in general and the importance of a low salt diet, regular physical activity, limiting alcohol, maintaining healthy weight, decreasing stress, smoking cessation and, importantly, monitoring your blood pressure yourself and working with your healthcare team."

"Cell phones are irrelevant," when it comes to hypertension, he told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.

The study was supported by the National Key Research and Development Program and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Qin, Tomey, and Estes report no relevant financial relationships.

Cedars-Sinai Cardiologist Weighs In on Blood Flow + Heart Health … – Muscle & Fitness

As a top Beverly Hills Cedars-Sinai cardiologist, one of my goals is preventative cardiology. Ive spent my entire adult life obsessing over how to optimize blood flow with my patients to improve bedroom performance, memory and concentration, heart health and energy levels. Hands down, one of the easiest and most beneficial ways to do that is to help your body make more nitric oxide.

You cant actually supplement with nitric oxide itself. Your body needs to make nitric oxide out of component parts. You can help your body do this by providing it with specific vitamins, minerals and herbs scientifically shown to naturally boost nitric oxide production in the body. There are plenty of nitric oxide and blood flow supplements on the market, but I believe one is superior. Its called Nitro Wood by Inno Supps.

This formula is perfect for both men and women to amplify blood flow to experience:

Here are my thoughts about why enhancing nitric oxide production is important and what makes Inno Supps Nitro Wood the most effective clinically-backed supplement to rapidly boost blood flow when and where you need it in the body.

What is Nitric Oxide?Nitric oxide acts as your bodys vasodilator, which causes the blood vessels to relax. When blood vessels are relaxed, blood flows more smoothly to every part of your body. Proper blood flow keeps your heart healthy, your body energized, your mind sharp and ensures blood, nutrients and oxygen are delivered to your organs so they can function properly. And guess what other organs need adequate blood flow? The ones below the belt. That is, if you want more satisfaction and stamina in the bedroom.

More nitric oxide means supercharged circulation throughout the entire body, so you get ample blood flow when and where you need it.

From the gym to the bedroom, if you take care of your heart, your heart will take care of you. And one of the best ways to do that is to ensure your body produces plenty of nitric oxide.

Why Nitric Oxide Boosting Supplements are Important for Circulation, Heart Health and Performance

There are many ways to improve circulation and heart health, such as exercise (especially cardio) and including more nitrates from vegetables and omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.But often, more is needed. Nitric oxide deficiency is widely common. As we age, we produce less nitric oxide. Some studies show that men in their 40s have half the amount of nitric oxide in their bodies than men in their 20s. Stress and slacking on quality sleep can also limit nitric oxide production.That is exactly why most people also need to incorporate key herbs, vitamins and a quality nitric oxide supplement in clinically backed dosages to improve circulation and get their blood moving effectively.Without an adequate supply of this free radical, your circulation will suffer, resulting in poor performance in every aspect of your life.

I believe that nitric oxide is the lifeline that improves circulation from your heart all the way to those hard-to-reach areas across your body.

Why I Believe Inno Supps Nitro Wood is the Best Supplement for Heart Health and Blood Flow

Im board-certified in cardiovascular diseases, internal medicine, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and pediatrics. In my expert opinion, Nitro Wood is the markets most significant heart health product.

The natural blend of ingredients in Nitro Wood is hands down the best way to significantly enhance circulation and blood flow throughout the entire body.

It contains a multitude of clinically backed natural ingredients shown to enhance circulation and blood flow, three of which are ingredients I believe every adult male and female should be consuming every day to improve heart health and blood flow throughout your entire body:

Lets dive into why I believe these three ingredients should be consumed daily and the rest of the Nitro Wood ingredient profile.

Nitro Wood Contains S7, Which Can Help the Body Increase Nitric Oxide by up to 230%

S7 is one of the newest nitric oxide boosting ingredients on the market. It already has some impressive clinical trials showing its efficiency in encouraging your body to produce more nitric oxide endogenously.

S7 is formulated with a low dose combination of seven plant-based superfoods, including green coffee bean, green tea extract, turmeric, tart cherry, blueberry, broccoli and kale, that is clinically shown to effectively help the body increase its own production of nitric oxide by up to 230%.

There are also claims that the ingredients in this revolutionary natural supplement can produce this increase in nitric oxide within 2 hours. This is relevant because once your body uses nitric oxide, its gone, which means we need to make it constantly and consistently.

Nitro Wood Contains a Blood Circulation Blend with Beet Root Powder to Support Healthy Blood Pressure and Support Better Blood Flow

Beets are full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that support better health across the entire body. The root vegetable has been linked to a number of health benefits, including improved cognitive function, enhanced athletic performance and lower blood pressure levels because the nitric acid they create in the body helps dilate blood vessels.

Beets can also help your body produce more nitric oxide. This is because they are rich in dietary nitrates, which your body converts directly into nitric oxide.

One study found that participants who consumed a beetroot supplement increased nitric oxide levels by 21% after only 45 minutes. Similarly, another study found that men and women who drank beetroot juice significantly increased nitric oxide levels, also in only 45 minutes. Nitro Wood contains beet root powder, a highly concentrated form of beets that includes all the same benefits as the root vegetable. In addition to beetroot powder, the circulation blend in Nitro Wood also contains:

These natural herbs are clinically shown to promote nitric oxide production, healthy blood flow, support healthy blood pressure or improve physical performance.Nitro Wood Contains 278% the Percent Daily Value of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a powerful dietary antioxidant that has received considerable attention in clinical studies and reputable publications to its possible role in heart health.In several clinical studies, low levels of vitamin C have been associated with a number of conditions, including high blood pressure, endothelial dysfunction, heart disease, atherosclerosis, and stroke.Evidence suggests Vitamin C through diet and supplementation may help protect arteries against damage and improve nitric oxide production of the endothelium, which, in turn, increases vasodilation, reducing blood pressure.

I believe that the antioxidant properties of Vitamin C contribute to the prevention and treatment of many cardiovascular disorders and can substantially boost blood flow and nitric oxide production.

Nitro Wood contains 250 mg of Vitamin C as ascorbic acid, which is 275% of the daily value of Vitamin C the average adult needs daily.

Other Beneficial Ingredients in Nitro Wood

In addition to the above-mentioned ingredients, Nitro Wood contains niacin (vitamin B3) and cayenne pepper fruit powder (Capsicum).

Vitamin B3 has been shown to possibly help maintain cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and other cardiovascular health risks, boost brain function and even be effective in helping patients with erectile dysfunction. Capsicum has various health benefits ranging from promoting fat loss and a healthy inflammatory response to better blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

Nitro Wood is Manufactured in an FDA-Approved Facility and Undergoes Third-Party Testing

Last but certainly not least, Nitro Wood is safe and free of artificial fillers, flavorings and sweeteners. Supplements are not regulated by the FDA. For this reason, you must dig deep into the company to find out where they manufacture their products and if they use a credible third-party consumer safety group to test for contaminants and label accuracy.

Nitro Wood is formulated by Inno Supps, a nutrition company widely known as a leader in the supplement space for having clean supplements with no additives, artificial flavorings or artificial sweeteners.

All Inno Supps products, including Nitro Wood, undergo vigorous, NSF-certified third-party testing and are manufactured in the United States in a state-of-the-art, FDA-approved and GMP-certified (Good Manufacturing Practices) facility.

Final Thoughts on Inno Supps Nitro Wood

Having part of your daily health regimen focus on supporting blood vessel health and nitric oxide production is much more important than most people realize.

All your organs must have healthy circulation and blood flow for your heart and body to work to their maximum capacity. If you are looking for an easy way to perform better in ALL areas of your life adequate blood flow should be your number one focus.In my expert opinion, Inno Supps Nitro Wood is the most effective supplement to rapidly boost blood flow when and where you need it in the body.
