Bravo to the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine. Sepsis is at the heart of intensive care (ICU). Major aggression such as extensive burn, polytrauma, large wound, crush syndrome, pancreatitis, irradiation… can trigger immediate immune responses called systemic inflammation. They share similarities to sepsis. 🔥Sepsis is in nature the terminal phase of an infection when the body's immediate response is too violent diffuse. Without resuscitation, it usually precedes death. But thanks to resuscitation, 50 to 80% of these patients survive. This is possible thanks to the machines, drugs and carers who take care of the failing organs. However, we don't know how to stop sepsis, so we wait for it to stop. Mortality remains high, convalescence long and the risk of sequelae high (e.g. COVID long). Sepsis cost 0.5% of US GDP. It cause nearly as much death than cancers or cardiovascular diseases. #Sepsis = #cancers =#cardiovasculardisease =#cardiovascular similar diseases in terms of mortality, impact on patients and their families, and direct and societal cost.

Cardiovascular disease is the world’s number one killer. Combined, conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels – such as heart attack, stroke and heart failure – kill more than 20.5 million people every year. As many as 80% of these deaths from heart attacks and strokes are preventable, but early findings by WHF show that as few as 7% of countries have standalone plans or strategies to tackle CVD. This World Heart Day, the World Heart Federation launched a global petition urging all countries to have a ‘National Cardiovascular Action Plan’ to tackle heart disease, the world’s number one killer.

  #health The Hidden Dangers: Unveiling 10 Rare Heart Diseases  The human heart is a remarkable organ, responsible for pumping life-sustaining blood throughout the body. However, like any complex system, it is susceptible to a wide range of disorders, some of which are relatively common, while others are exceedingly rare. In this comprehensive article, we will delve into the hidden world of 10 rare heart diseases, shedding light on these lesser-known but potentially life-threatening conditions.   https://lnkd.in/dbEKQHUQ  

Unlock the power of informed decision-making in heart disease management with these 10 crucial statistics! From understanding risk factors to embracing lifestyle changes, here's what every physician and patient needs to know. https://brnw.ch/21wH5mE

To mark #WorldHeartDay we are sharing our CVDACTION tool which aims to transform the prevention of cardiovascular disease. With the theme being #UseHeartForAction, it is important to hear from people on the ground using the tool to evaluate high-risk patients.

From 1999 to 2019, cardiovascular disease deaths involving substance use rose 4% per year on average, according to new findings from DCRI’s Stephen Greene and other experts. Learn more about what substances factored the most in these deaths, and how identifying high-risk groups can help prevent these outcomes: https://lnkd.in/gtS-h3qt #clinicalresearch #clinicaltrials #cardiovasculardisease #substanceuse

A very thoughtful and thorough approach to early detection of kidney disease.

A new tool called QR4, developed through collaborative research led by the University of Oxford promises to revolutionise cardiovascular disease prevention. By leveraging factors like blood pressure, age, and medical history, QR4 provides a more accurate estimation of an individual's 10-year risk of heart disease and stroke. Unlike current tools, QR4 excels in identifying high-risk patients who may otherwise be missed. This early detection allows healthcare professionals to intervene promptly, potentially saving lives. #HeartDisease #StrokePrevention #CardiovascularHealth #StrokeAwarenessMonth
