Studies in the general population suggest that central blood pressure (BP) may be superior to peripheral BP in risk assessment. Although ambulatory brachial BP is recognized as the most reliable BP measurement in the dialysis population, there is no comparison of office central BP with ambulatory BP regarding risk stratification in these patients. Methods:In a … Continue reading Central versus ambulatory blood pressure for predicting mortality and cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients: a multicenter cohort study

Current vaccines, which induce a B-cell-mediated antibody response against the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, have markedly reduced infection rates. However, the emergence of new variants as a result of SARS-CoV-2 evolution requires the development of novel vaccines that are T-cell-based and that target mutant-specific spike proteins along with ORF1ab or nucleocapsid protein. This approach is … Continue reading Early insight into #antibody-dependent enhancement after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA #vaccination
Statins may be protective in SARS-CoV-2 infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of in-hospital statin use on 28-day mortality and ICU admission among patients with SARS-CoV-2 stratified into 4 groups: those who used statins prior to hospitalization (continued, discontinued) and those who did not (newly initiated, never). MethodsIn a cohort … Continue reading Association of #Statins and 28-Day Mortality in Patients Hospitalized with #SARS CoV-2 Infection
The association between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains controversial. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between BMI and AMI presentation, in-hospital clinical course and mortality in the contemporary era of AMI management. Methods: Patients, hospitalized for an AMI between October 2015 and December 2016, were … Continue reading The Relationship Between Body #Mass Index and In-Hospital #Mortality in the Contemporary Era of an Acute Myocardial #Infarction Management
IMPORTANCE Steps per day is a meaningful metric for physical activity promotion in clinical andpopulation settings. To guide promotion strategies of step goals, it is important to understand theassociation of steps with clinical end points, including mortality. OBJECTIVE To estimate the association of steps per day with premature (age 41-65 years) all-causemortality among Black and … Continue reading #Steps per Day and All-Cause #Mortality in Middle-aged Adultsin the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study
