Evidence Supporting Niacin Use for CV Disease Prevention Evaluated

According to the results of a systematic review & meta-analysis, evidence supporting the clinical benefit of niacin monotherapy for secondary prevention of Cardiovascular Disease appears to be outdated and require various innovative trials to determine its role in CVD management.

Scientists performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify clinical trials assessing the effect of niacin on lipid modification and CVD risk To determine the role of niacin in CVD prevention.

The results from the study shows that while there is evidence to support the clinical benefit of niacin in the prevention of CVD, this evidence was obtained from older trials with study populations that most likely have differing baseline characteristics (i.e., underlying cardiovascular risk) compared to patient populations seen today. The authors concluded that “Niacin may have a role as a monotherapy drug for lipid control in statin-intolerant patients, but, given substantial advancements in cardiovascular disease management since 1990, this indication should be restudied in current-day patients receiving usual baseline care.”

Scientists discover the missing link between Cardiovascular Disease and Depression

Heart disease is a common disease now a days which leads to death worldwide. On other hand Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide.

A significant body of research has established a connection between these two conditions.

For example, reviews of existing studies have shown that people with cardiovascular disease are more likely to have depression, and people with depression have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Also, those with depression and heart disease are more likely to die from the latter than those who only have heart disease. This relationship is proportional to each other which means that the more severe the depression, the more likely it is that a person will develop heart disease or die from it.

The study revealed that three bio-markers for the risk of heart disease that were also depression risk factors: triglycerides and the inflammation-related proteins IL-6 and CRP.

The scientists explain that our bodies produce the inflammation proteins IL-6 and CRP in response to physiological factors such as infections and lifestyle factors such as smoking, drinking, and physical inactivity, as well as in response to psychological stress.

In the study, first researchers were interested to study whether the family history of coronary heart disease increases the risk for depression. Later on they wanted to study regarding the gene involvement in this case. They found no connection between the genetic predisposition to develop heart disease and the risk of depression. This concluded that the genetic predisposition is not related with the link between depression and heart disease.

To find out whether the environmental factors are making the difference for the development of both the disease conditions, they used statistical tools Mendelian Randomization to examine the 15 biological markers. This study revealed the association of 3 bio-markers which increases the risk for heart disease were also the depression factors i.e. triglycerides, IL-6 (inflammation related protein) and CRP.

Heart disease and depression share common underlying biological mechanisms, which manifest as two different conditions in two different organs — the cardiovascular system and the brain."

Cardiology Ethics and Case Reports

Track 19: 

Cardiology Ethics and Case Reports

Cardiology is one of the most dynamic and variable medical disciplines. In the era of evidence based medicine, progress in cardiology requires continuous inflow of scientific data that support new standards and newly-formulated hypotheses. As any other healthcare specialists, cardiologists are expected to adhere to highly standardized diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines that are developed by international consensus groups on the basis of evidence from large clinical trials. Management of cardiologic patients should be also based on the principles of professional morality expressed in internationally recognized documents such as Good Laboratory Practices and country-specific Codes of Medical Ethics. However, application of the ethical principles becomes highly challenging to a highly variable population of cardiologic patients including both pediatric and geriatric subjects. Cardiologic research should adhere to the same ethical principles as studies in any other discipline of clinical medicine. 

Each year 17.3 million people die of cardiovascular disease, 80% in the developing world. The case report in general is a short article which describes an interesting fact in medicine.  It may include a new medical condition, a new disease, a new diagnostic approach or a new therapeutic strategy. Case reports usually document episodes in the initial emerging phase or in a small outbreak.  These documental information becomes the basic for further case series, reviews and studies. The World Heart Federation exists to prevent and control these diseases through awareness and action, promoting the exchange of information, ideas and science among those involved in cardiovascular care, promoting for disease prevention and control by encouraging healthy diets, physical activity and tobacco free living at an individual, community and policy maker level. Cardiology conference is a suitable platform to uncover various developments and case studies in the field of cardiology.
