The Relationship Between Atrial Fibrillation, Mitral Regurgitation, and Heart Failure Subtype: The ARIC Study
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with ADHF, AF prevalence increased with MR severity and this effect was more pronounced in HFpEF compared with HFrEF. AF was associated with an increased 1-year mortality only in patients with HFpEF and concomitant moderate/severe MR.REGISTRATION: NCT00005131, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00005131.PMID:34955335 | DOI:10.1016/j.cardfail.2021.10.015

Risk of Major Cardiovascular Disease after Exposure to Contrast Media: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study on Dialysis Patients
Metabolites. 2023 Feb 13;13(2):266. doi: 10.3390/metabo13020266.ABSTRACTContrast associated kidney injury is caused by side effects of iodinated contrast media (ICM), including inflammation. Chronic inflammation among dialysis patient contributes to atherosclerosis, which leads to simultaneous conditions of the kidney, brain, and vasculature. Data to investigate the pathologic effects of ICM on cardiovascular complications in dialysis patients are lacking. Dialysis patients who had been exposed to ICM from computed tomography (ICM-CT) were allocated as the ICM-CT cohort (N = 3751), whereas dialysis patients without ICM exp...
