Researchers determine the relationship between LE8 scores and cardiovascular disease, subtype CVD events, and all-cause mortality.

Physician-scientists from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine recently conducted a large-scale analysis to assess the impact of a newly introduced equation used to evaluate one's heart failure risk.

The newly introduced kidney function equation has value in predicting heart failure comparable to the old equation but may reduce racial disparities by improving access to heart failure therapy among Black heart failure...

New research found that people with obstructive sleep apnea have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. The severity of sleep apnea someone has will likely impact the severity of their cardiovascular risk.

Research funded by the National Institutes of Health suggests that people with obstructive sleep apnea might have an increased risk of cardiovascular events due to lower blood oxygen levels.

In a patient with a CAC score of 0, risk level may be bumped up by the presence of extracoronary calcium, one expert says.

“We do have to generate the evidence for doing this and . . . the value-based argument for doing this,” Andrew Choi says.

Researchers have found that people with obstructive sleep apnea have an increased cardiovascular risk due to reduced blood oxygen levels, largely explained by interrupted breathing.

Cardiovascular risks linked to sleep apnea are caused by a reduction in blood oxygen levels, according to a new National Institutes of Health-supported study.

Researchers have found that people with OSA have an increased cardiovascular risk due to reduced blood oxygen levels.
