Relative Burden of Community-Acquired Pneumonia Hospitalizations in Seniors
Conclusions Although CAP has a higher burden of hospitalization and total costs than MI, stroke, and OF in the elderly population, prevention efforts are much smaller for CAP. Prioritization of CAP prevention is needed to substantially reduce its burden.

Abstract 159: Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes among Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients Treated With Warfarin or Rivaroxaban Stratified by Presence or Absence of CKD in a Claims Database Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: This study suggests that, in an adult population with NVAF, rivaroxaban-treated patients had fewer ischemic strokes across all patients, including patients with renal impairment. Rivaroxaban-treated patients also had significantly better outcomes for the composite (VTE, MI, or stroke) measure across all groups. Bleeding rates were comparable across all groups.

Abstract 144: Cost of Cardiovascular Disease Episodes among Patients with Hypertension Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Cost estimates of CVD episodes among hypertensive patients are consistent with results from the scarce literature in this area. Moreover, our study finds evidence of increased medical resource utilization weeks before the recording of the CVD episode. Omitting these pre-event costs leads to an underestimate of the true costs of CVD.

The association between urinary calculi and increased risk of future cardiovascular events: A nationwide population-based study.
CONCLUSIONS: Urinary calculi were associated with an increased risk of future cardiovascular events in the Asian population, which was consistent with the recent epidemiologic evidence in Western countries. PMID: 26338181 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk analysis of carotid stent from a population-based database in Taiwan
Abstract: Because stroke is the third leading disease that causes mortality in the world, the prevention of stroke from advanced carotid stenosis is an important issue. The carotid stent (CAS) is a less invasive to treat advanced carotid stenosis, but for high-risk patients it may cause some events after the procedure that reduces the benefit of stroke prevention. Because patients and their families have less information about risk of events after CAS and are easy concerned, this study calculates the individual probability of major adverse cardiovascular events including any stroke, myocardial infarction, or death after pr...

Cardiovascular Diseases and Life Expectancy in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Korean National Sample Cohort Study.
Conclusion: Young Asians with type 2 diabetes, especially those with cardiovascular comorbidity, did not live as long than their nondiabetic equivalents. Thus, these individuals require special attention to prevent further reductions in life expectancy. PMID: 28911137 [PubMed - in process]

Nearly Half of Americans Have Some Form of Heart Disease
About 48% of adults in the U.S. have some type of heart or blood vessel disease, according to a new annual report from the American Heart Association published in the journal Circulation. The finding, based on data collected from 2016, means that almost half of Americans have had a heart attack, stroke, angina, abnormal heart rhythms, or narrowing of the arteries. The new report also shows that deaths from heart disease, after declining in recent years, rose from 2015 to 2016, from 836,546 to 840,678. Dr. Mariell Jessup, chief science and medical officer at the American Heart Association, said much of the increase in the p...

Mortality of cardiovascular events in COPD patients with preceding hospitalized acute exacerbation.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Acute exacerbation (AE) of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may be accompanied by the deterioration of cardiovascular comorbidities, as evidenced by the increased incidence of acute cardiovascular events. RESEARCH QUESTION: Whether preceding AE might be associated with mortality of cardiovascular events remains unknown. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Using a health insurance research database in Taiwan, we identified patients with COPD who experienced first-time acute myocardial infarction (AMI; n=26,442), ischemic stroke (n=54,959) and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH; n=14,893) ...

Gender differences in major adverse cardiovascular outcomes among aged over 60 year-old patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A population-based longitudinal study in Taiwan
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) including cerebrovascular disease (CVD), coronary artery disease (CAD), and peripheral arterial disease (PAD), contributes to the major causes of death in the world. Although several studies have evaluated the association between gender and major adverse cardiovascular outcomes in old ASCVD patients, the result is not consistent. Hence, we need a large-scale study to address this issue. This retrospective cohort study included aged over 60 year-old patients with a diagnosis of ASCVD, including CVD, CAD, or PAD, from the database contained in the Taiwan National Health Insuran...

Efficacy and Safety of Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel in East Asian Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in East Asian patients with AMI. Between July 2013 and December 2015, patients with AMI prescribed with dual antiplatelet therapy were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. Using propensity score weighting, ticagrelor was compared with clopidogrel for the primary efficacy endpoint (a composite of all-cause death, MI, and stroke) and bleeding. A total of 32,442 patients with AMI (ticagrelor: 10,057; clopidogrel: 22,385) were eligible for analysis. After propensity score weighting, ticagrelor was comparab...

Risk of early mortality and cardiovascular disease according to the presence of recently ‐diagnosed diabetes and requirement for insulin treatment: a nationwide study
ConclusionsRecently ‐diagnosed T2D patients showed increased risks of incident CVDs and premature mortality, and insulin‐treated group demonstrated an additional increase in the risks of these outcomes in adults with recently‐diagnosed T2D, suggesting the need for intensified cardio‐protective interventions for adults with insulin‐treated T2D.
