‘Salty’ Concern: Tackling High Salt Consumption in China
Veena S. Kulkarni, Associate Professor, Department of Criminology, Sociology and Geography, Arkansas State University, USA; and Raghav Gaiha, (Hon.) Professorial Research Fellow, Global Development Institute, University of Manchester, England.By Veena S. Kulkarni and Raghav GaihaNEW DELHI, India and JONESBORO, US, Oct 7 2019 (IPS) China’s almost meteoric transition from a being a low income to a middle income country within a span of four decades is often perceived as a miracle analogous to the post Second World War Japanese economic development experience. China’s GDP rose from $200 current United States dollars (US$ ...

Factors defining occurrence of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes during continuous flow left ventricular assist device support
ConclusionsIn addition to LVAD-related thrombogenicity, the subsequent need for anticoagulation, and an acquired von Willebrand syndrome, several clinical factors, such as deviation from the anticoagulation regimen, hypertension, COPD, device infections, and aortic cross clamping, appear to have an influence on the extremely high rate of postoperative ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.

Early-Term Complications after Carotid Endarterectomy and Their Risk Factors: Eight-Year Employment of Local Treatment Protocol of a Russian High-Volume Center
Conclusions: The present retrospective analysis of the local carotid surgery register showed appropriate outcomes after CEA regarding the cumulative incidence of MACE, which is comparable to previously published international register data. A previous history of stroke, myocardial infarction, COPD, a prolonged clamping time during CEA, and diabetes mellitus were found to be factors of high-risk for cardiovascular mortality. A prolonged clamping was identified as an independent predictor of any stroke.Eur Surg Res

High salt levels in soluble drugs may raise heart risk
Conclusion This large case control study suggested that people who had experienced disease of the heart and blood vessels were more likely to have taken sodium-containing medicines than people without cardiovascular disease. Put in other words this can be interpreted that people who took sodium-containing medicines were at a higher risk of experiencing cardiovascular disease than people who took the same medications in formulations free of sodium. The increased risk appeared to be driven mostly by an increased risk of hypertension and to a lesser extent, non-fatal stroke. The study has some strengths including its large s...

Could testing grip strength predict heart disease risk?
Conclusion These are interesting results from a range of very different countries, showing that people with low muscle strength may be at higher risk of dying prematurely than other people. Earlier studies in high-income countries had already suggested that this was the case, but this is the first study to show it holds true across countries from high to low incomes. The study also shows that Europeans, and men from high-income countries, on average, have higher grip strength than people from lower-income countries. Interestingly, women from middle-income regions, such as China and Latin America, had slightly higher muscl...

A reverse J-shaped association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and cardiovascular disease mortality - the CopD-study.
CONCLUSIONS: In this large observational study low and high levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D were associated with cardiovascular disease, stroke and acute myocardial mortality in a non-linear, reverse J-shaped manner, with highest risk at lower levels. Whether this was a causal or associational finding cannot be determined from our data. There is a need for randomized clinical trials which include information on the effects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels above 100 nmol/L. PMID: 25710567 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Long-acting Inhaled Bronchodilator and Risk of Vascular Events in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Taiwan Population
The objective of the present study was to investigate the incidence of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases in COPD patients treated with LAAC, LABA, or a combination of the 2. We conducted this population-based study using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (1997–2008), identifying COPD patients and their prescribed medication from the International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision codes 490–492 or 496. A multivariate Cox proportional-hazards model was used to compare the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases over the 11-year period after treatment with LAAC or LABA only or ...

New evaluation of gait symmetry/asymmetry in COPD patients using an accelerometer
Conclusion: LI measured by a tri-axial accelerometer evaluated gait symmetry/asymmetry accurately and might be clinically useful for the evaluation of balance in elderly COPD patients.

Abstract 226: Strokes Worse in Women at 24 hours but Severity Reduced in Younger Women With Hormone Therapy Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Women in this study had more severe 24 hour AIS outcomes than men but this improved with HRT use in women younger than 80 years. This cannot be fully explained by age differences as there could be other underlying factors. Improving 24 hour NIHSS may correctly predict later outcomes following AIS. Further study of HRT use in AIS outcomes is justified.

Association between COPD exacerbations and acute cardiovascular events: a systematic literature review
Conclusion: There was an increased risk of acute CV events following a COPD exacerbation. Further research is needed to confirm whether preventing COPD exacerbations also decreases the risk of a subsequent acute CV event.

E-019 tcar
ConclusionsOur analysis of a single-center cohort demonstrates that TCAR is a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic carotid stenosis, with a low perioperative stroke risk. The present study’s findings concur with the combined adverse outcome rate of 3.5% reported in the ROADSTER trial.Disclosures A. Bajaj: None. S. Monje: None. C. Ayala: None. J. Poggi: None. E.

Patients at elevated risk of major adverse events following endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis
Conclusions A high-risk subset of patients undergoing CEA for asymptomatic carotid stenosis can be identified. If patient selection is optimized and perioperative morbidity and mortality are minimized, CEA will continue to play an important role in stroke prevention for those with significant asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Prevalence of atrial fibrillation and the HATCH score : Intensified monitoring of patients with high HATCH score.
CONCLUSION: The HATCH score correlates with the occurrence of AF, since the prevalence of AF rises with rising score values. Therefore, the HATCH score may be used to select patients for intensified ECG monitoring. Moreover, the score may also be used for stroke risk assessment, as none of the patients with a low HATCH score suffered a stroke. PMID: 25939435 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
