Diastolic dysfunction was predictive of all cause mortality

Diastolic dysfunction was predictive of all-cause mortality.

Depression, cardiac mortality and all-cause mortality

Depression is an illness that kills. The links between depression and medical illness are well established and bi-directional, but evidence is mounting that depression increases mortality as well as morbidity in adults, particularly older adults. We examine the evidence that the increase in mortality in depression applies to all-cause mortality as well as cardiac mortality, and describe plausib...

Depression Predicts All-Cause Mortality

OBJECTIVE Depression affects up to 20-25% of adults with type 2 diabetes and may increase all-cause mortality, but few well-designed studies have examined the effects of depression on the full range of cardiovascular disease outcomes in type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 2,053 participants in the ACCORD (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes) Health-Related Qu...

Low Diastolic Blood Pressure as a Risk for All-Cause Mortality in VA Patients

Background. A paradoxical increase in cardiovascular events has been reported with intensively lowering diastolic blood pressure (DBP). This J-curve phenomenon has challenged the aggressive lowering of blood pressure, especially in patients with coronary artery disease. Objective. Our objective was to study the effects of low DBP on mortality and determine a threshold for which DBP should not b...

Pravastatin was not better than usual care in reducing all-cause mortality or CHD events.
