Stroke and myocardial infarction in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms and new-onset atrial fibrillation
Conclusion Cardiovascular prognosis has improved in patients with prevalent AAA disease and new-onset AF in concordance with optimization of antithrombotic therapy over time. A diagnosis of AF conferred residual risk of stroke and myocardial infarction.PMID:36626930 | DOI:10.1055/a-2009-8954

Stroke volume variation and serum creatinine changes during abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery: a time-integrated analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: SVV increases progressively during and after AAA surgery in subjects who will develop AKI. The increase of SVV precedes and predicts the rise in sCr and is a good discriminator of the development of AKI. AKI is associated with an increased long-term risk for MACCE.

Composite Dialysis, Paralysis, Stroke, or Mortality After Endovascular Aortic Interventions in the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm life-altering events, which include a combination of permanent dialysis, permanent spinal cord ischemia, stroke, and/or death, have devastating effects after complex endovascular repair. However, the occurrence of these life-altering events after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has not been studied. Therefore, we examined the effects of procedural and anatomic characteristics on a composite outcome of postoperative dialysis, stroke, paralysis, and/or mortality after any endovascular aortic repair.

Gore wins expanded indications for Cardioform septal occluder
W.L. Gore & Associates said today it won expanded FDA indications for its Cardioform septal occluder, now cleared for the closure of patent foramen ovale to reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke in certain patients.
The expanded application was supported by results from the Reduce study, which the Newark, Del.-based company said showed that closure of PFOs could significantly prevent recurrent ischemic stroke regardless of PFO anatomy.
“With the FDA approval of the Gore Cardioform septal occluder for PFO closure, we can now provide physicians with one device that can be used for both ASDs and PFOs. The val...

Moderate drinking may reduce heart disease risk
Conclusion
This study paints a more complicated picture than the "Pint a day keeps the doctor away" story proffered by The Sun.
It seems to confirm the findings of other studies, which have shown that non-drinkers tend to have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases than people who drink moderately.
It suggests that some cardiovascular diseases (mainly those directly affecting the heart) seem to have a stronger link to a possible protective effect from alcohol than other vascular diseases, such as mini-strokes and bleeding in the brain. However, this can't be concluded with certainty due to the study design.
We ...

Efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban compared with warfarin in patients with peripheral artery disease and non-valvular atrial fibrillation: insights from ROCKET AF
Conclusion
Patients with PAD in ROCKET AF did not have a statistically significant higher risk of stroke or systemic embolism than patients without PAD, and there were similar efficacy outcomes in patients treated with rivaroxaban and warfarin. In PAD patients, there was a higher risk of major bleeding or NMCR bleeding with rivaroxaban when compared with warfarin (interaction P = 0.037). Further investigation is warranted to validate this subgroup analysis and determine the optimal treatment in this high-risk cohort of AF patients with PAD.

Statin Underuse and Low Prevalence of LDL-C Control Among U.S. Adults at High Risk of Coronary Heart Disease.
CONCLUSIONS:: These data suggest that many people with high CHD risk, especially those with an FRS >20%, do not receive guideline-concordant lipid-lowering therapy and do not achieve an LDL-C <100 mg/dL.

Open versus endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm: Incidence of cardiovascular events in 632 patients in a department of defense cohort over 6-year follow-up.
CONCLUSION: EVAR was associated with lower 30-day mortality rates; however, this benefit was not sustained in longer-term follow-up. There is no difference in the rates of stroke, myocardial infarction, or cardiac arrhythmia at 30 days or in long-term follow-up.

How Does Cardiovascular Disease First Present in Women and Men? Incidence of 12 Cardiovascular Diseases in a Contemporary Cohort of 1,937,360 People.
CONCLUSIONS: -The majority of initial presentations of CVD are neither MI nor ischemic stroke, yet most primary prevention studies focus on these presentations. Sex has differing associations with different CVDs, with implications for risk prediction and management strategies. Clinical Trial Registration Information-www.clinicaltrials.gov. Identifier: NCT01164371.

Heterogeneous impact of classic atherosclerotic risk factors on different arterial territories: the EPIC-Norfolk prospective population study
Conclusion
The heterogeneity in the risk factor–CVD associations supports the concept of pathophysiological differences between atherosclerotic CVD manifestations and could have implications for CVD prevention.

The risk of resting heart rate on vascular events and mortality in vascular patients
Conclusions: Elevated RHR is associated with increased risk for mortality but not for myocardial infarction or stroke in patients with manifest vascular diseases irrespective of location of vascular disease.

Systolic, diastolic blood pressures predict risk of different cardiovascular diseases
Raised systolic and diastolic blood pressures may have different effects on different types of cardiovascular diseases and at different ages, according to new research involving 1.25 million patients from primary care practices. The new findings suggest that individuals with higher systolic blood pressures have a greater risk of intracerebral haemorrhage (stroke caused by bleeding within the brain tissue), subarachnoid haemorrhage (the deadliest form of stroke), and stable angina, whereas raised diastolic blood pressure is a better indicator of abdominal aortic aneurysm risk.

Cardiometabolic effects of genetic upregulation of the interleukin 1 receptor antagonist: a Mendelian randomisation analysis
Publication date: Available online 26 February 2015 Source:The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Background To investigate potential cardiovascular and other effects of long-term pharmacological interleukin 1 (IL-1) inhibition, we studied genetic variants that produce inhibition of IL-1, a master regulator of inflammation. Methods We created a genetic score combining the effects of alleles of two common variants (rs6743376 and rs1542176) that are located upstream of IL1RN, the gene encoding the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra; an endogenous inhibitor of both IL-1α and IL-1β); both alleles increase soluble IL-1Ra ...
