The top news in cardiology:

1. Midlife hypertension linked to dementia risk

Elevated blood pressure in midlife is associated with risk of subsequent dementia, but whether the risk is treatable is unclear.

1. Ambulatory BP slightly better than in-office measures for predicting cardiovascular outcomes

It's probably best to save these techniques for specific patients.

1. NSAIDs a significant mediator of cardiovascular risk in osteoarthritis

NSAID use could be responsible for a significant proportion of the increased risk of cardiovascular disease associated with osteoarthritis.

1. Burnout gets personal for 68% of physicians

Burden hits primary care more than specialties, younger more than older.
