DTCA for prescription heart drugs was associated with favorable perceptions of both medication use and pharmaceutical companies, but did not seem to negate intentions to use lifestyle interventions, a survey study shows.

Brief, direct exposure to prescription cardiovascular drug advertising seems to boost consumer perceptions of medications and pharmaceutical companies without deterring use of lifestyle interventions.

The relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality in patients with AFib is U-shaped, with the risk highest in those who are underweight or severely obese and lowest in patients defined simply as obese.

Mortality rose with body mass index in patients with new atrial fibrillation in a GARFIELD-AF analysis, which also examined BMI effects on bleeding with NOACs vs. vitamin K antagonists.

Cardiorespiratory fitness emerged as a strong predictor of all-cause mortality in a modeling study that included more than 750,000 U.S. veterans. Results also showed mortality risk was cut in half for individuals achieving a moderate CRF level.

Risk for all-cause death was four times greater for U.S. veterans with lowest vs. those with highest cardiorespiratory fitness levels, regardless of age, s*x, or race, in an observational study.

For competitive athletes, IV nutrition threatens to become the norm with accessible “drip bars” and concierge IV nutrition services. Experts warn of the lack of scientific evidence that this is safe or beneficial, and it may result in nutrient toxicity.

'Some players are hooked up to IV nutrition drips as often as every week as part of a pre- or postgame routine.'

Two very different sets of clinical evidence have offered new twists on how nonadherence to cardiovascular medicines not only leads to suboptimal outcomes, but also complicates the data from clinical studies.

Nonadherence prevents patients from achieving treatment benefits, but it also complicates trial interpretation, suggests subanalyses of MASTER DAPT and ISCHEMIA.

A student loan forgiveness plan soon to be released would broadly forgive $10K in federal student loans. However, the plan is restricted to borrowers with incomes below $150K which would unfairly exclude many in health care.
