Comparing Dietary Strategies to Manage Cardiovascular Risk in Primary Care: a Narrative Review of Systematic Reviews
Source : https://bjgp.org/content/early/2024/02/16/BJGP.2022.0564
Background Nutrition care in general practice is crucial for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and management, although comparison between dietary strategies is lacking. Aim To compare the best available (most recent,...
Three dietary strategies showed modest, significant reductions in CV events: energy deficit (relative risk reduction [RRR] 30), Mediterranean-like diet (RRR 40%), and salt substitution (RRR 30%).

Elevated donor-derived cell-free DNA and cell-free mitochondrial DNA after heart transplant may mechanistically be implicated in the higher incidence of acute rejection and worse clinical outcomes in Black transplant recipients.
Heart Failure During Acute Coronary Syndrome and the Long-Term Cancer Risk: the ABC-9 Study on Heart Disease
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38376007
An inverse association between baseline HF and long-term cancer risk has been observed among the ABC Study on heart disease patients who were followed for 24 years after ACS.
This long-term prospective study did not show an association between HF and cancer risk in patients who survived acute coronary syndrome using the basic Cox survival analysis.
Restricted Carbohydrate Diets Below 45% Energy Are Not Associated With Risk of Mortality in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999–2018

Cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) are the leading causes of death for people living in the United States. Dietary strategies, such as restricting carbohydrate intake, are becoming popular strategies for improving health...
Compared with individuals that met carbohydrate recommendations, those who consumed carbohydrate restricted diets did not have significantly altered risk of mortality from all causes, cardiometabolic disease, or CVD.
Effects of Menstrual Disorders and Dysmenorrhea on Cardiovascular Disease: a Mendelian Randomization Study
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10875084/
Observational studies have demonstrated associations between menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, it remains unclear whether these associations are causal. This study is to investigate whether menstrual disorders...
Evidence from this study supported a causal relationship of excessive menstruation, irregular menses, and dysmenorrhea on cardiovascular outcomes, particularly the association of irregular menses with myocardial infarction.
