Researchers also estimated that more than 700,000 Americans with diabetes could lose insurance coverage if these proposed retractions are put into place, with some new policies already in effect.

These lifestyle improvements included adherence to the Mediterranean diet, improved frequency of healthy food consumption, increased physical activity, and quitting smoking, among other factors.

In a retrospective study, the machine learning tool was able to screen for potential risks of cardiovascular disease nearly 60 days before the patient's medical record showed any signs of a related condition or before they were officially diagnosed or treated for it.

Diabetes treatment goals vary based on age and diabetes type, with more focus on managing insulin levels for children and adolescents while addressing comorbid conditions like obesity and hypertension for adults, said Beau Raymond, MD, MMM, FACP, of Ochsner Health Network.

Research indicated that worsened glycemic, blood pressure, and obesity control, as well as increased alcohol consumption, leveled lipid control, and persistent socioeconomic disparities may have contributed to the decelerated cardiovascular mortality decline in recent years.

Beau Raymond, MD, MMM, FACP, chief medical officer of Ochsner Health Network, explains the importance of diabetes and hypertension control to prevent downstream events such as heart attacks and strokes.

Experts explain how new diabetes technologies like continuous glucose monitors are transforming care beyond intensive insulin therapy, offering personalized insights and improving outcomes for patients of all treatment levels.

COVID-19 vaccination was associated with reduced risks of acute and post–acute COVID-19 heart failure, venous thromboembolism, and arterial thrombosis/thromboembolism.

For Lp(a) Awareness Day, Mary McGowan, MD, FNLA, chief medical officer of the Family Heart Foundation, highlights how most people with elevated Lp(a) are completely unaware that they have this increased risk and calls for increased testing.

However, researchers saw higher risks of respiratory failure, longer stays in the intensive care unit, increased hospitalizations, and elevated mortality rates in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) taking the antihypotensive medication.

This expansion applies to the estimated 70 million patients who need either primary or secondary prevention, regardless of statin use.
