Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and predictors of complications in patients with lung cancer

It is recommended that patients with lung cancer undergo screening to assess their cardiovascular risk and related complications and it is recommended that patients with lung cancer undergo screening to assess their cardiovascular risk and related complications.

Cardiovascular disease in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy: epidemiology and risk factors

Evaluating the occurrence of new-onset CVD in women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy and identifying factors associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease highlights the need for sustained cardiovascular surveillance in breast cancer survivors.

Five-year cancer incidence after new cardiovascular disease: a population study

In this population-based cohort study, the five-year incidence of cancer following a new diagnosis of CVD was markedly high and the distribution of cancer types in this population differed from that of the general population, with a higher proportion of genitourinary cancers and a lower proportion of breast cancer.

Worsening Trends in Modifiable Cardiovascular Risk Factors Among Patients Hospitalised for Cardiovascular Disease in Spain (2007-2022): A Nationwide Sex-Specific Analysis.

AIMS To assess sex-specific temporal changes in prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in patients admitted for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in Spain from 2007 to 2022. METHODS A retrospective, population-based analysis using the Spanish Minimum Basic Data Set, including all adults (≥18 years) hospitalised with a principal diagnosis of CVD was performed. Analyses focused on acute myocardial infarction (STEMI, NSTEMI), stroke, heart failure (HF), and aortic stenosis (AS). Temporal trends in the prevalence of the CVRF throughout the study period, for CVD in general and for each specific CVD, both in the overall sample and in men and women, were studied using the join-point jump regression method. RESULTS There were 6,734,967 hospital admissions for CVD, 3,776,811 (56.1%) in men and 2,958,156 (43.9%) in women. Women were older (79; IQR: 70-86 vs. 72; IQR 61-81 years; p<0,001). Hypertension was present in the 43.8%, dyslipidaemia in the 36.9% and diabetes mellitus in the 32% of episodes, without differences clinically relevant between women and men. However, smoking habit (19.8%) and alcohol consumption (4%) were significantly and clinically relevant more frequent in men (29.5% vs 7.5% and 6.6% vs 0.6%, respectively), and obesity (11.5%) in women (13.7% vs 9.8%). Over time, prevalence of most CVRF increased in both sexes, except for hypertension, which declined in both. Notably, particularly concerning increases in obesity, dyslipidaemia and smoking were observed among women. CONCLUSIONS Our results underscore persistent sex-specific differences in the prevalence of CVRF over time throughout the study period in Spain. Men consistently exhibited higher rates of smoking and alcohol consumption, while the prevalence of obesity and hypertension was higher in women.

Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Type 2 Diabetic Patients in Mashhad City

Assessment of Risk Factors In Chronic Kidney Disease Patients At Tertiary Care Hospital In Nellore

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the different risk variables in Nellore patients with chronic renal disease. Method: From November 2025 to March 2026, a six-month prospective observational study was carried out. The patient's demographic chart and kidney health assessment questionnaire were used to gather the data, which was then examined using descriptive statistics. The chi-square test and correlation were used to determine the primary risk factor. Results: According to the current study, the main risk factor for both males and females is hypertension (p=0.0001), however other risk factors such diabetes, obesity, and alcohol use are also important. It was discovered that the average age of CKD patients was 46.24 for females and 49.02 for men.  Conclusion: In both males and females with chronic renal disease, hypertension was identified as the primary significant risk factor. However, compared to women, men are more likely to have hypertension as a risk factor for chronic renal disease. These chronic kidney diseases are also influenced by other risk factors such diabetes mellitus, smoking, alcohol, obesity, hypotension, stroke, urinary tract infections, drug-induced nephrotoxicity, etc. The prevalence of end-stage renal disease can be decreased by identifying the main risk factors.
