Cardioprotection Rarely Used in Adults With Blood CancersIn a US cohort study of adults on anthracycline-based therapy for hematologic cancers, only 1%-2% received strategies to lower the risk for treatment-related heart damage.
New horizons of cardiotherapySince the introduction of the first implantable stimulator and defibrillator (ICD), cardiological science has advanced far. ICDs are highly effective, but their main disadvantage is the complications associated with the electrodes. To avoid the need for venous access and complications caused by transvenous electrodes, a fully subcutaneous ICD system (pc-ICD) was developed.
The relationship between low‑density lipoprotein cholesterol, the apolipoprotein B ratio, and sarcopeniaThe ratio of low‑density lipoprotein cholesterol to apolipoprotein B (LDL‑C/ApoB) (LDL-C/ApoB), which reflects the cholesterol content in an atherogenic lipoprotein particle, may serve as a new biomarker for the risk of sarcopenia. Scientists conducted a study based on data from the largest American representative survey (NHANES).
