Use of linked data to assess the impact of including out-of-hospital deaths on 30-day in-hospital mortality indicators: a retrospective cohort study
CMAJ Open. 2022 Oct 11;10(4):E882-E888. doi: 10.9778/cmajo.20210264. Print 2022 Sep-Oct.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) annually reports on health system performance indicators, including various 30-day in-hospital mortality rates. We aimed to assess the impact of including out-of-hospital deaths on 3 CIHI indicators: 30-day acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in-hospital mortality, 30-day stroke in-hospital mortality and hospital deaths following major surgery.METHODS: We followed national cohorts of patients admitted to hospital in 1 of 9 Canadian provinces for AMI, stroke and major...

Informing vs Changing the Practice of Carotid Revascularization
The Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy vs Stenting Trial (CREST) was a multicenter randomized clinical trial directly comparing the risks and benefits of stenting with those of endarterectomy for symptomatic and asymptomatic high-grade stenosis. Involving 2502 patients across the United States and Canada followed-up for up to 10 years, the trial did not detect significant differences in the end point of perioperative stroke, myocardial infarction, or death or ipsilateral ischemic stroke after the perioperative period. Primary results were published in 2010. CREST clearly informed practice guidelines, but the extent t...

Why Whole-Fat Milk and Yogurt Are Healthier Than You Think
For years, experts have recommended low-fat dairy products over the full-fat versions, which are higher in calories and contain more saturated fat. Recent research, however, indicates that full-fat dairy may actually be healthier than its reputation suggests, and that people who eat full-fat dairy are not more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes than people who consume low-fat dairy. They may even be less likely to gain weight. Now, new research published Tuesday in The Lancet, adds to that body of evidence. The research suggests that eating dairy products of all kinds is associated with a lower ri...

Patterns of incidence rates of cardiac complications in patients with congenital heart disease
ConclusionsCardiac complications are frequent in congenital heart disease. Apart from perioperative stroke and complete heart block, incidence rates are low in childhood but the incidence increases during adult life. These data underscore the need of life-long follow up and may help for better allocation of resources maintaining follow-up.

Update in Cardiovascular Safety of Incretin-Based Therapy in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-Analysis of Cardiovascular Outcome Trials
ConclusionThis meta-analysis demonstrated that GLP-1RAs were associated with a significant reduction in MACE, CV death, stroke, and death from any cause, while DPP-4 inhibitors were comparable to placebo for all CV outcomes, including hospitalizations for HF.

Update on Cardiovascular Safety of Incretin-Based Therapy in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-Analysis of Cardiovascular Outcome Trials
ConclusionsThis meta-analysis demonstrated that GLP-1RAs were associated with a significant reduction in major adverse CV events, CV death, stroke and death from any cause, while DPP-4 inhibitors were comparable to placebo for all CV outcomes, including hospitalizations for heart failure.RésuméObjectifsLes auteurs de deux grands essais randomisés ont récemment publié leurs conclusions concernant les effets d'un agoniste du récepteur au glucagon-like peptide-1 (A-GLP-1R) (essai HARMONY) et d'un inhibiteur de la dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) (essai CARMELINA) sur les bénéfices cardiovasculaires (CV) chez les patie...

Alcohol consumption and risk of cardiovascular outcomes and bleeding in patients with established atrial fibrillation
CMAJ. 2021 Jan 25;193(4):E117-E123. doi: 10.1503/cmaj.200778.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Little is known about the association between alcohol consumption and risk of cardiovascular events in patients with established atrial fibrillation (AF). The main aim of the current study was to investigate the associations of regular alcohol intake with incident stroke or systemic embolism in patients with established AF.METHODS: To assess the association between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular events in patients with established AF, we combined data from 2 comparable prospective cohort studies that followed 3852 patients with AF for ...

Effect of High-Dose Oral Multi-Vitamins and Minerals in Participants Not Treated with Statins in the Randomized Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy
Conclusion and Relevance High-dose oral multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplementation appear to decrease combined cardiac events in a stable, post-MI population not taking statin therapy at baseline. These unexpected findings are being retested in the ongoing TACT2.

The effect of physical activity on mortality and cardiovascular disease in 130  000 people from 17 high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries: the PURE study
We examined whether different amounts and types of physical activity are associated with lower mortality and CVD in countries at different economic levels. Methods In this prospective cohort study, we recruited participants from 17 countries (Canada, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Poland, Turkey, Malaysia, South Africa, China, Colombia, Iran, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe). Within each country, urban and rural areas in and around selected cities and towns were identified to reflect the geographical diversity. Within these communities, we invited individuals aged between 35 and 70 years ...
