Did you know? Radiation-induced vasculopathy can occur after cancer treatment, where radiation accelerates the development of age-related conditions like atherosclerosis. This condition can lead to the thickening and narrowing of blood vessels, increasing the risk of cardiovascular issues long after the cancer treatment is complete.

How can health care providers monitor and manage the long-term cardiovascular risks associated with radiation therapy in cancer survivors?

Vitamin C deficiency can lead to pulmonary hypertension: a systematic review of case reports - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38504249/

The cases analyzed in our study indicate that pulmonary hypertension can be one explanation for the reported heart failure of scurvy patients in the early literature. It would seem sensible...

This study suggests that vitamin C deficiency may contribute to pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular enlargement, with improvement in mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) following vitamin C supplementation.

Acute Heart Failure Is a Malignant Process: But We Can Induce Remission - PubMed

Acute Heart Failure Is a Malignant Process: But We Can Induce Remission - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37889197/

Acute heart failure is a common and increasingly prevalent condition, affecting >10 million people annually. For those patients who survive to discharge, early readmissions and death rates are >30% everywhere...

Acute heart failure affects millions globally, with high readmission and death rates. Rapid, full-dose treatment can induce remissions, highlighting the urgent need for collaborative efforts to improve implementation and outcomes.
