This new study , published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Cardiology, shows that the progression of CAC over time is not associated with leisure-time aerobic physical activity measured at baseline and follow-up.

Key Points: 
  • This new study , published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Cardiology, shows that the progression of CAC over time is not associated with leisure-time aerobic physical activity measured at baseline and follow-up.
  • Their physical activity, CAC and other clinical measurements were determined during preventive medicine visits to Cooper Clinic in Dallas, Texas.
  • Analysis of the data, which accounted for potential confounding factors, revealed that aerobic physical activity does not appear to elevate the rate of CAC progression.
  • “This study provides important new knowledge which will greatly assist in the care of Masters athletes and highly active people who have high coronary calcium scores.

COLUMBIA, Md., May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A survey conducted by MedStar Health found people could be overly confident about their ability to recognize the serious warning signs of someone having a stroke. The national survey of 1000 people found 64% of respondents said they were "confident" about their knowledge of stroke symptoms, but just 23% could name the signs that make up the widely known acronym BEFAST which outlines sudden changes that can be signs of stroke:

Key Points: 
  • Stroke was the third leading health condition survey respondents said they're concerned about personally after heart disease and cancer.
  • "A crucial step in providing equitable health care is ensuring that we're reaching communities with accessible and culturally tailored messaging.
  • RÁPIDO aims to break down the language barrier to initiating acute stroke care in Spanish speaking communities."

"Finding that most people do not know the significant impact of heart disease is discouraging and even a bit frightening."

Key Points: 
  • "Finding that most people do not know the significant impact of heart disease is discouraging and even a bit frightening."
  • Non-traditional approaches to health care are needed to address the social and structural determinants of health by moving evidence-based approaches rapidly into communities to address food insecurity, transportation problems, education, housing, access to care, chronic psychosocial stress and other social needs.
  • The interconnectedness of organ systems, mechanisms of disease and stages of life are critical to understanding the role cardiovascular health plays in overall health.
  • As we apply these same clinical and epidemiological methods to the someday hopeful eradication of heart disease and stroke, the American Heart Association is making great progress.

  • “Bempedoic acid is the only FDA approved non-statin LDL lowering therapy to demonstrate reductions in MACE in both primary prevention and secondary prevention patient populations.
  • The Hispanic population is the largest ethnic minority in the U.S., yet is a population historically underrepresented in clinical trials.
  • At Esperion, we discover, develop, and commercialize innovative medicines to help improve outcomes for patients with or at risk for cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases.
  • CLEAR Outcomes is part of the CLEAR clinical research program for NEXLETOL® (bempedoic acid) Tablet and NEXLIZET® (bempedoic acid and ezetimibe) Tablet.
