Direct oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: treatment outcomes and dosing in special populations.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, results of secondary analyses indicate that the recommended dosing strategy for each of the DOACs produces a consistent anticoagulant effect across a diverse patient population, including those at increased risk of stroke or bleeding. PMID: 30081727 [PubMed - in process]

Dabigatran etexilate for secondary stroke prevention: the first year experience from a multicenter short-term registry.
DISCUSSION: Our pilot data indicate that dabigatran appears to be safe for secondary stroke prevention during the first year of implementation of this therapy. However, high cost may limit the long-term treatment of AF patients with dabigatran, leading to early discontinuation. PMID: 24790645 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk of stroke and heart failure attributable to atrial fibrillation in middle-aged and elderly people: Results from a five-year prospective cohort study of Japanese community dwellers.
CONCLUSIONS: AF increased the risk of stroke by the same magnitude as that reported previously in Western countries. AF increased the RR of heart failure more than that in Western populations. PMID: 28390793 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association between adult height, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke and death: a Korean nationwide population-based study
ConclusionsShorter height in adulthood was strongly related to an increased risk of MI, HF, stroke and all-cause death. A suitable environment and appropriate nutrition early in life could influence adult height and eventually reduce the risk of CV events and mortality.

Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension and Diabetes and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke, and Diabetes Hospitalization in the Year Following Delivery
We examined hospital discharge diagnoses linked to birth certificate data in the year following delivery for 849,639 births during 1995–2004 in New York City, New York. Adjusted odds ratios characterized the relationship between pregnancy complications and subsequent hospitalization for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes. Gestational hypertension was related to heart failure (adjusted odds ratio = 2.6, 95% confidence interval: 1.5, 4.5). Preeclampsia was related to all of the outcomes considered except type 1 diabetes, with adjusted odds ratios ranging from 2.0 to 4.1. Gestational diabetes was strongly rela...

Association between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and cardiovascular mortality in statin non-users: a prospective cohort study in 14.9 million Korean adults
ConclusionLDL-C had U-curve associations for CVD mortality. The associations and optimal ranges differed across CVD subtypes. Women and older adults had weaker positive associations than men and younger adults. Positive associations with ischaemic heart disease and ischaemic stroke were maintained in adults aged 75 –84 years.

Plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 and risk of cardiovascular disease: results from the EPIC-Germany case-cohort study
Abstract Increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) concentrations have emerged as a novel risk factor for heart failure and stroke but not for myocardial infarction (MI). Yet, most studies on MI were conducted in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and the elderly. Evidence is unclear in subjects without CAD and for stroke subtypes. We investigated the relationships between FGF23 and overall major cardiovascular endpoints, incident MI, ischemic (IS) and haemorrhagic stroke (HS) in middle-aged adults without pre-existing cardiovascular disease. We used a case-cohort study nested within the European Prospecti...

Adiposity as a cause of cardiovascular disease: a Mendelian randomization study
Conclusions: Using MR methods, we provide support for the hypothesis that adiposity causes CHD, heart failure and, previously not demonstrated, ischaemic stroke.

Associations of Biomarker-Calibrated Sodium and Potassium Intakes With Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among Postmenopausal Women
AbstractStudies of the associations of sodium and potassium intakes with cardiovascular disease incidence often rely on self-reported dietary data. In the present study, self-reported intakes from postmenopausal women at 40 participating US clinical centers are calibrated using 24-hour urinary excretion measures in cohorts from the Women's Health Initiative, with follow-up from 1993 to 2010. The incidence of hypertension was positively related to (calibrated) sodium intake and to the ratio of sodium to potassium. The sodium-to-potassium ratio was associated with cardiovascular disease incidence during an average follow-up ...

The Association of Plasma Lactate With Incident Cardiovascular Outcomes: The ARIC Study
We examined the association of plasma lactate at rest, a marker of oxidative capacity, with incident cardiovascular outcomes in 10,006 participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study visit 4 (1996–1998). We used Cox proportional-hazards models to estimate hazard ratios of incident coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and all-cause mortality by quartiles of plasma lactate (Q1, ≤5.3 mg/dL; Q2, 5.4–6.6; Q3, 6.7–8.6; and Q4 ≥8.7). During a median follow-up time of 10.7 years, there were 1,105 coronary heart disease cases, 379 stroke cases, 820 heart failure cases, and 1,40...

Agreement between self-reports and medical records of cardiovascular disease in octogenarians
The objective of the present study was to examine the level of agreement between self-reports and medical records on specific cardiovascular diagnoses.Study Design and Setting: The Life and Living to Advanced Age: a Cohort Study in New Zealand recruited 937 octogenarians in New Zealand. Standardized questionnaires were administered to determine sociodemographic status and medical history. Diagnoses of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, congestive heart failure (CHF), and hypertension were compared between self-reports and two combined sources of medical records.Results: There were moderate levels of agreement between self...
