Excerpt

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder of unknown etiology whose clinical presentation is characterized by the heterogeneous contributions of nonnecrotizing granulomatous inflammation and concomitant fibrosis. Cardiac involvement portends an adverse prognosis and may account for approximately 25% of deaths from sarcoidosis. The diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) remains a challenge because of the combination of a nonspecific clinical presentation (e.g., conduction abnormalities, tachy- and bradyarrhythmias, and heart failure) and focal infiltration of granulomas and scarring in the heart, which limit the diagnostic utility of endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). Potentiating these challenges is the fact that data on the benefit of immunosuppressive therapy are limited. …

Screening-Mammografie offenbart erhöhtes Herz-Kreislauf-Risiko

26.04.2024 Mammografie Nachrichten

Routinemäßige Mammografien helfen, Brustkrebs frühzeitig zu erkennen. Anhand der Röntgenuntersuchung lassen sich aber auch kardiovaskuläre Risikopatientinnen identifizieren. Als zuverlässiger Anhaltspunkt gilt die Verkalkung der Brustarterien.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.

Adipositas-Medikament auch gegen Schlafapnoe wirksam
