Sophia Antipolis, 17 May 2021: Women with mildly elevated blood pressure in their early 40s have a two-fold risk of acute coronary syndromes in their 50s compared to their counterparts with normal blood pressure. That s the finding of a study published on World Hypertension Day in the
European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).1 Even if they feel healthy, women should have their blood pressure measured by their primary care physician and repeated at regular intervals with the frequency dependent on the level, said study author Dr. Ester Kringeland of the University of Bergen, Norway. Those with other risk factors for heart disease, such as obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, pregnancy complications, or parents with high blood pressure need more intense monitoring.

The coronavirus pandemic has drawn more attention to the role of obesity. More than 40 per cent of adults in the United States qualify as obese, and an elevated body mass index has been shown to be a major risk factor for developing severe symptoms of covid-19.
Unfortunately, stigma has made people with obesity reluctant to seek health care, including the coronavirus vaccines. To overcome this stigma, we need to better understand the true causes of obesity, focus on successful treatments and bat down rampant misinformation about this common health problem.

Sophia Antipolis, 14 May 2021: Nearly one in four patients with heart failure is depressed or anxious, according to a study published during this week s Heart Failure Awareness Days. Patients with heart failure were 20% more likely to develop these mental health issues during the five years after diagnosis compared to those with cancer. The findings are published in the
European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).1 The treatment of mental illnesses in cancer patients - psycho-oncology - is long-established but similar services for heart patients (psycho-cardiology) are still in their infancy, said study author Dr. Mark Luedde of the Cardiological Group Practice, Bremerhaven, Germany. Our study suggests that heart failure patients could benefit from greater support with psychological problems.
