Whole-Grain Consumption and Cardiometabolic Risk: Evidence from Meta-Analyses of Randomized Controlled Trials

Higher whole-grain intake consistently improves multiple cardiometabolic risk factors, with optimal benefits at 60–100 g/day. Evidence highlights reductions in adiposity, blood lipids, inflammation, glucose, and blood pressure, supporting whole grains as a key dietary strategy for cardiometabolic health.

Immediate Coronary Angiography After Out‑of‑Hospital Cardiac Arrest Without ST Elevation Shows No 1‑Year Survival Benefit — IPD Meta‑Analysis of COACT and TOMAHAWK

An individual patient data meta‑analysis of COACT and TOMAHAWK (n=1,031) found no 1‑year survival benefit to immediate coronary angiography versus delayed/selective angiography after out‑of‑hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) without ST‑elevation; no patient subgroup showed a clear differential benefit.
