911 dispatcher assistance improved chances of receiving bystander CPR

November 11, 2024 — Research Highlights: A study of nearly 2,400 cardiac arrest cases in North Carolina found that when emergency dispatchers (telecommunicators) provided cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) instructions to 911 callers, people were more likely to provide aid for both men and women. The study’s findings indicate that when a telecommunicator provided assistance to callers, bystander CPR was performed 44% of the time on women and 40% on men, compared to 9% on women and 11% on men when telecommunicator assistance was not provided.

Bystander CPR up to 10 minutes after cardiac arrest may protect brain function

November 11, 2024 — This news release contains updated information and data not included in the abstract. Research Highlights: The sooner a lay rescuer (bystander) starts cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a person having a cardiac arrest at home or in public, up to 10 minutes after the arrest, the better the chances of survival and brain protection, according to an analysis of nearly 200,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases in the U.

MESA heart disease risk score worked well with or without race included

November 11, 2024 — Research Highlights: A version of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) heart disease risk score that did not include race predicted heart disease risk just as well as the original version that includes race. The original MESA risk score, developed in 2015[1], combines traditional risk factors, sex and race with a coronary artery calcium score.

Heart disease could hit up to 28 years sooner for people with CKM syndrome

November 11, 2024 — Research Highlights: Scientists conducted a simulation study to estimate the impact of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction. The study found that adults with chronic kidney disease would have elevated CVD risk eight years earlier than those without the disease.

Heart disease more common in past redlined areas linked to limited access to healthy foods

November 11, 2024 — Research Highlights: Heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity were more common and linked to reduced access to healthy food among people who lived in neighborhoods previously subjected to structural racism-based policies that limited home ownership — an outlawed practice known as redlining. Researchers say testing interventions to help improve access to healthy food or boost social and economic resources could mitigate the still-present impact of outdated policies like redlining.

Let s talk about sex: Heart patients want guidance from health care professionals

November 11, 2024 — Research Highlights: A small survey of adults aged 30 to 89 (average age of 65) in Sweden who have heart conditions found that there is a significant difference between the sexual health information they seek and what is provided to them by their health care professionals and the health care system. Despite 76% of patients with heart conditions reporting that sexual health affects their mood and well-being, only 5% received information or counseling about sexual health.

GLP-1, SGLT2 medications may lower stroke survivor s risk of future heart attack, stroke

November 11, 2024 — Research Highlights: In an analysis of more than 7,000 stroke survivors, those who were taking either a GLP1-receptor agonist or an SGLT2 inhibitor medication had a lower risk of a subsequent stroke, heart attack or death compared to peers who were not prescribed the medications during a three-year follow up period. The analysis used health data from the Rochester Epidemiology Project collected from 2000 to 2022.

Fear of another heart attack may be a major source of ongoing stress for survivors

November 11, 2024 — Research Highlights: Fear of another heart attack was a significant ongoing contributor to how heart attack survivors perceive their health, according to a new study. While anxiety and depression are recognized as common conditions after a heart attack, they did not explain the impact of fear of recurrence in this study.

AI-powered tool may offer quick, no-contact blood pressure and diabetes screening

November 11, 2024 — Research Highlights: A preliminary study combining a patent-applied, AI-powered algorithm with a high-speed, 5-to 30-second video of skin on the face and the palm of the hand detected if someone had high blood pressure as well as using a blood pressure cuff. The system, still in early development in Japan, also accurately detected Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

Socioeconomic status during early pregnancy may play a large role in future heart health

November 11, 2024 — Research Highlights: The socioeconomic status of first-time moms in early pregnancy may affect their cardiovascular health up to seven years later. Socioeconomic status — education level, income level, health insurance status and health literacy — of pregnant individuals was responsible for more than half of the long-term heart health disparities among Black, Hispanic and white women, according to a new study.

100 F temps may be linked to irregular heartbeat in those with implanted defibrillators

November 11, 2024 — Research Highlights: Severe temperature spikes may double or triple the risk of irregular heart rhythm in people with implanted defibrillators. An analysis of health data for more than 2,000 people with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) found that temperatures reaching 100°F (38°C) were more likely to lead to atrial fibrillation events.
