The incidence and risk of cardiovascular events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in Asian populations
CONCLUSIONS: Among Asians, immune checkpoint inhibitors were associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, particularly ischemic stroke and pulmonary embolism.PMID:36208180 | DOI:10.1093/jjco/hyac150

Midlife fitness predicts less burden of chronic disease in later life.
CONCLUSIONS: Healthy, fit, middle-aged adults developed fewer chronic conditions in later life than unfit persons and had a lesser burden of chronic disease before death. PMID: 24169299 [PubMed - in process]

Impact of cancer diagnosis on distribution and trends of cardiovascular hospitalizations in the USA between 2004 to 2017
CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to declining trends in patients without cancer, primary cardiovascular admissions in patients with cancer is increasing. The highest admission rates are in patients with hematological cancer and the most common cause of admission is heart failure.PMID:35913736 | DOI:10.1093/ehjqcco/qcac045

Pharmacological interventions for preventing atrial fibrillation after lung surgery: systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Current clinical evidence supports the effectiveness of pharmacological intervention with beta-blockers, amiodarone, magnesium sulfate, or calcium-channel blockers to reduce the incidence of POAF after lung surgery in patients with lung cancer. In the absence of contraindications, prophylaxis with beta-blockers seems to be the most effective of the treatments studied.PMID:36136141 | DOI:10.1007/s00228-022-03383-2

Predicted cardiac and second cancer risks for patients undergoing VMAT for mediastinal Hodgkin lymphoma
CONCLUSION: For patients with mediastinal lymphoma excess mortality risks from CVD and second cancers remain clinically significant despite contemporary chemotherapy and photon-RT. Efforts to reduce the toxicity of combined modality treatment, for example, using DIBH, reduced margins and advanced RT, e.g. proton beam therapy, should be continued to further reduce potentially fatal treatment effects.PMID:36585562 | DOI:10.1007/s12094-022-03034-z

Healthcare systems data in the context of clinical trials - A comparison of cardiovascular data from a clinical trial dataset with routinely collected data
CONCLUSION: Concordance between datasets was lower than anticipated and the HSD used could not straightforwardly replace current trial practices, nor directly identify protocol-defined CVS events. Further work is required to improve the quality of HSD and consider event definitions when designing clinical trials incorporating HSD.PMID:36933612 | DOI:10.1016/j.cct.2023.107162
