CPAP Boosts Testosterone in Obesity-Related HypogonadismSevere or decompensated obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) was significantly associated with functional hypogonadism in men with severe obesity. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, monitored using overnight pulse oximetry, improved testosterone levels in newly diagnosed patients with OSAS.
Scientists have discovered a diet that influences the development of cardiovascular diseasesResearchers discovered that a nutrient-matched, plant-based diet could prevent and reverse a hidden form of heart disease in hypertensive rats.
The research, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, explored whether coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) could be lessened in hypertensive rats.
GLP-1s Pose Heart Risks in Patients With HFrEF and ImplantsPatients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and implanted cardiac devices who used GLP-1 receptor agonists had higher heart rates, greater number of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia events, and higher levels of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) than those who did not use the drugs.
Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion May Lower Stroke SeverityLeft atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) during cardiac surgery in patients with atrial fibrillation was associated with lower stroke-related disability and reduced risk for 30-day mortality and cardioembolic stroke than standard care, new research showed.
