A new cardiovascular calculator targeting individuals aged 30-79 years can help prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease by estimating long-term risk for heart attack and stroke.

Frailty, rather than chronological age, more accurately distinguishes the ranges of systolic blood pressure that are linked to a lower risk for adverse cardiac events in patients with hypertension.

Antithrombotic Choice May Affect Bleed Risk in Endocarditis

The use of anticoagulation therapy at diagnosis of left-sided infective endocarditis may increase the risk for intracranial hemorrhage, especially when combined with antiplatelet therapy.
