Clinical Significance of Postinfarct Fever in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study [Coronary Heart Disease]
BackgroundLittle is known about causality and pathological mechanism underlying association of postinfarct fever with myocardial injury in patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction.Methods and ResultsIn 276 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed a median of 3.4 days after the index procedure. Forty‐five patients had postinfarct fever (peak body temperature within 4 days after primary percutaneous coronary intervention ≥37.7°C; Fever group) whereas 231 did not (no‐Fever group)....

Reporting Clinical End Points and Safety Events in an Acute Coronary Syndrome Trial: Results With Integrated Collection [Coronary Heart Disease]
ConclusionsAn integrated collection of end points and serious AEs is feasible in a multinational trial and illustrates the shared characteristics of events. Tailoring event collection to fit the phase and purpose of the trial is achievable and informative.Clinical Trial RegistrationURL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00831441.

Short Length of Stay After Elective Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement is Not Associated With Increased Early or Late Readmission Risk [Valvular Heart Disease]
ConclusionsAmong elderly survivors of elective transfemoral TAVR, a short postprocedural length of stay was not associated with an increased risk readmission within 30 days or 1 year. However, the risk of 1‐year readmission increased with longer post‐TAVR lengths of stay. (Source: JAHA:Journal of the American Heart Association)

Association of Tenofovir Use With Risk of Incident Heart Failure in HIV-Infected Patients [Heart Failure]
ConclusionsAmong a large national cohort of human immunodeficiency virus–infected patients, TDF use was strongly associated with lower risk of incident HF. These findings warrant confirmation in other populations, both with TDF and the recently approved tenofovir alafenamide fumarate. (Source: JAHA:Journal of the American Heart Association)

Altered MicroRNA Expression Is Responsible for the Pro-Osteogenic Phenotype of Interstitial Cells in Calcified Human Aortic Valves [Valvular Heart Disease]
ConclusionsIn AVICs of calcified valves, increased levels of miR‐486 induce myofibroblastic transition to upregulate Runx2 and Osx expression and synergize with miR‐204 deficiency to elevate cellular and valvular pro‐osteogenic activity. These novel findings indicate that modulation of the epigenetic mechanism underlying valvular pro‐osteogenic activity has therapeutic potential for prevention of calcific aortic valve disease progression.

Use and Customization of Risk Scores for Predicting Cardiovascular Events Using Electronic Health Record Data [Health Services and Outcomes Research]
ConclusionsWe conclude that published cardiovascular risk models can be successfully applied to EHD to estimate cardiovascular risk; the FRS remains valid and is not obsolete; and model refitting does not meaningfully improve the accuracy of risk estimates.

In Situ Laser Fenestration Is a Feasible Method for Revascularization of Aortic Arch During Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair [Cardiovascular Surgery]
ConclusionsIn situ laser fenestration is a feasible, effective, rapid, repeatable, and safe option for the reconstruction of aortic arch during thoracic endovascular aortic repair, which might be available to revascularize the 3 branches. However, follow‐up periods should be extended to evaluate the robustness of this technique. (Source: JAHA:Journal of the American Heart Association)
