Healthy Living Medicine in the Workplace: More Work to Do
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are five of the top ten causes of death for Americans: cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, lower respiratory disease, stroke and diabetes mellitus. Risk factors for these NCDs and for CVD are tobacco use, poor diet quality, physical inactivity, increase body mass index, increased blood pressure, increased blood cholesterol, and glucose intolerance. Depression, depressive symptoms and anxiety also contribute to CVD risk. There is also evidence work stress itself contributes to CVD risk.

Predictors of venous thromboembolism recurrence and the bleeding events identified using a Japanese healthcare database.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings obtained from healthcare database suggest predictors either for recurrent VTE and bleeding that should be considered when selecting treatment to reduce the risk of recurrent VTE and mitigate bleeding. PMID: 28245956 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cardiovascular Complications of Targeted Therapies for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Opinion statementThe development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) dramatically changed the treatment landscape for many different cancers including chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). With the introduction of imatinib, the first TKI developed and approved to effectively treat CML, patient survival has increased dramatically and, in some cases, this fatal cancer can be managed as a chronic disease. Since the approval of imatinib in 2002, four additional TKIs have been developed to treat this disease including the second-generation TKIs nilotinib, dasatinib, and bosutinib and the third-generation TKI ponatinib. Despite their...

High Intensity Interval Training For Maximizing Health Outcomes
Regular physical activity or exercise training are important actions to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and maintain health throughout life. There is solid evidence that exercise is an effective preventative strategy against at least 25 medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, hypertension, colon and breast cancer, and type 2 diabetes. Traditionally, endurance exercise training (ET) to improve health related outcomes has consisted of low- to moderate ET intensity. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that higher exercise intensities may be superior to moderate intensity for maximizing health outcomes.

Use and Misuse of Aspirin in Primary Cardiovascular Prevention
The use of low-dose aspirin in primary prevention of cardiovascular (CV) events in healthy or apparently healthy people is a widely debated topic. Many arguments indicate that “primary prevention” is only a conventional definition and that the transition from primary to secondary prevention represents a continuum of increasing levels of CV risk. Although there are no direct proofs of a different efficacy of aspirin at different CV risk levels, in low-risk populations aspirin will appear to be less efficient. In fact, the lower number of events occurring in patients at low risk yields lower absolute numbers of events pr...

Fat or fit: The big oxymoron of (metabolically) healthy obesity
Among the major concerns for public health, the prevalence of obesity is raising worldwide with an inexorable pace. In 2014, over 600 million adults worldwide were obese (and more than 1.9 billion overweight) and current projections predict that over 1 billion individuals (reflecting approximately 20% of humankind) will be obese by 2030 [1,2]. Strong epidemiological evidence links obesity with increased morbidity and mortality for several diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), stroke, cancer, and diabetes, and current preventive and therapeutic strategies of most of these conditions require management of obesity a...

Let ′s Talk about Moving: Reframing the Exercise and Physical Activity Discussion
Noncommunicable and chronic disease are interchangeable terms. According to the World Health Organization “they are of long duration and generally slow progression. The 4 main types of chronic diseases are cardiovascular diseases (CVD) (i.e., heart attacks and stroke), cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma) and diabetes”. We have known about the benefits of physical activity (PA) for thousands of years. Perhaps our approach, from public health messaging to the individual clinical encounter, as to how PA and exercise are discussed and prescribed can be improved u...

Effect of Bleeding Risk on Type of Stent Used in Patients Presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) are at increased risk of bleeding following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) due to the need for longer dual antiplatelet duration. We sought to evaluate the likelihood of receiving DES during PCI in HBR populations and to characterize DES utilization trends over time. Consecutive patients who underwent PCI from April 2003 to September 2015 were identified. HBR is defined as patients fulfilling one or more of the HBR criteria: age ≥75 years, anticoagulation use at discharge, history of stroke, cancer in previous 3 years, glucocorticoid use, hemoglobin (Hgb)

Experimental cardiac radiation exposure induces ventricular diastolic dysfunction with preserved ejection fraction
Breast cancer radiotherapy increases the risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Cardiomyocytes are highly radioresistant, but radiation specifically affects coronary microvascular endothelial cells, with subsequent microvascular inflammation and rarefaction. The effects of radiation on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function are poorly characterized. We hypothesized that cardiac radiation exposure may result in diastolic dysfunction without reduced EF. Global cardiac expression of the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) was induced by cardiotropic gene (adeno-associated virus serotype 9) delivery to 5-w...

Abstract P443: Multiple Chronic Conditions in Older Adults: Implications for Clinical Trials & Guidelines in Hypertension Session Title: Hypertension and Aging and Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke
Conclusions: HTN impacts ~82% of older adults with a higher burden of MCC, and ~75% (27,324/36,533) of Medicare beneficiaries with HTN have a large burden of MCCs. Behavioral health diagnosis, associated with adverse outcomes and costs, are common with MCCs. Clinical care, outcomes and costs for older adults with HTN and MCCs could improve with more representative inclusion in clinical trials and translation through integrated clinical guidelines developed by multi-specialty/disciplinary teams.
