Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in both men and women, yet the extent of the problem in women is frequently underestimated and, compared with men, women are less likely to be offered interventions, are less likely to be represented in clinical trials and have a worse prognosis. This article aims to examine the extent of the problem of CVD in women, summarise the…

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disability in American women. Since 1984, more women have died of cardiovascular disease than men. More than 200,000 of these deaths are due to coronary heart disease.1 In two-thirds of these women, sudden death was the presenting symptom and studies2 show that 90% of them had at least one of the modifiable risk factors (e.g…

The interplay between risk factors, the variable influence of any one risk factor and the tendency for risk factors to cluster make the determination of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in apparently healthy individuals more complex1 than assessing any single risk factor in isolation. For example, age factors heavily in a patient’s CVD risk; however, a younger patient with multiple factors may…

The US has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world, at an estimated 26.4 deaths per 100,000 live births. This rate is rising, although it is falling in other wealthy nations.1 Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of maternal death, so cardiologists need to build on their knowledge and enhance their proficiency on the management of cardiovascular disease during pregnancy.2

In late December 2019, an outbreak of an unknown disease called a pneumonia of uncertain cause occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.1 Over the next few days, several independent laboratories identified the causative agent as a novel coronavirus.2–4 The WHO has temporarily named this virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and the related infectious disease…

Researchers have discovered an enzyme that, when found at high levels and alongside low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, reduces the risk for cardiovascular mortality.
The enzyme―glutathione peroxidase, or GPx3―is a natural antioxidant that reduces oxidized lipids to their nontoxic metabolites. The findings are published in the journal PLoS One.
“In our study, we found that…
