Mashup Score: 0Alimentos altamente procesados: un peligro para el corazón – Dr. Fernando de la Guía - 1 month(s) ago
Un nuevo estudio (EPIC: European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) ha vuelto a poner en tela de juicio a este tipo de «alimento» cuyo consumo en el «mundo occidental», mal conocido como «adelantado», esta extensamente extendido. El consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados (UPF) ha ido desplazando gradualmente a los alimentos no procesados y mínimamente procesados, y en la actualidad representa entre el 25% y el 60% de la ingesta energética total de la población en países de renta alta como

Mashup Score: 1Hypertension and heart failure: A dangerous relationship with clinical implications - 3 month(s) ago
Heart failure (HF) is currently classified into three categories, according to left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF): HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF; LVEF <40%), HF with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF; LVEF 40–49%) and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; LVEF ≥50%). While HFrEF patients are usually male and have a history of coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, the clinical spectrum of HFpEF has proven to be much more heterogeneous.

Mashup Score: 5
Ventricular pre-excitation (VP) is a cardiac disorder characterized by the presence of an accessory pathway (AP) that bypasses the atrioventricular node (AVN), which, although often asymptomatic, exposes individuals to an increased risk of re-entrant supraventricular tachycardias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to rapid atrial fibrillation (AF) conduction. This condition is particularly significant in sports cardiology, where preparticipation ECG screening is routinely performed on athletes. Professional athletes, given their elevated risk of developing malignant arrhythmias, require careful assessment. Early identification of VP and proper risk stratification are crucial for determining the most appropriate management strategy and ensuring the safety of these individuals during competitive sports. Non-invasive tools, such as resting electrocardiograms (ECGs), ambulatory ECG monitoring, and exercise stress tests, are commonly employed, although their interpretation can sometimes be

Mashup Score: 0Chief Medical Officers’ perceptions of barriers and enablers to implementing elite athlete cardiac screening programs - 4 month(s) ago
Introduction: Cardiac screening of elite athletes for conditions associated with sudden cardiac arrest/death (SCA/D) is recommended by national and international guidelines, including the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians (ACSEP) position statement. Chief medical officers (CMOs) of sporting organisations are generally responsible for implementing the cardiac screening program. The aim of this study was to investigate CMOs’ perceptions of barriers and enablers to implementation of cardiac screening in their sporting organisation.
