The Pooled Cohort Equations for Predicting Risk of Myocardial Infarction and Stroke: Validated in Representative Natural History Populations
The American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Pooled Cohort equations (PCEs) were introduced in late 2013 and published in mid-2014.1 Unlike the Framingham score used to determine coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines,2 the new PCEs focused on estimating risk of CHD and stroke and additionally provided specific risk assessment for African American individuals. Because stroke may occur before CHD, particularly in women and African Americans, the PCEs were seen as a major advance in disease prognostication.

Dietary flavonoid intake and incident coronary heart disease: the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study.
CONCLUSIONS: Reported anthocyanidin and proanthocyanidin intakes were inversely associated with incident CHD. There was no significant effect modification by age, sex, race, or region of residence. PMID: 27655439 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Validity of self-reported myocardial infarction and stroke in regions with Sami and Norwegian populations: the SAMINOR 1 Survey and the CVDNOR project
Conclusions The sensitivity and PPV of SMI were high and moderate, respectively; for SRS, both of these measures were moderate. Our results show that SMI from the SAMINOR 1 Survey may be used in aetiological/analytical studies in this population due to a high IHD-specific PPV. The SAMINOR 1 questionnaire may also be used to estimate the prevalence of acute myocardial infarction and acute stroke.

Studies: Low-Dose Aspirin May Not Prevent Initial Heart Attack, Stroke
Taking a low-dose aspirin every day has long been known to cut the chances of another heart attack, stroke or other heart problem in people who already have had one, but the risks don’t outweigh the benefits for most other folks, major new research finds. Although it’s been used for more than a century, aspirin’s value in many situations is still unclear. The latest studies are some of the largest and longest to test this pennies-a-day blood thinner in people who don’t yet have heart disease or a blood vessel-related problem. One found that aspirin did not help prevent first strokes or heart attacks...

Number of Social Determinants of Health and Fatal and Nonfatal Incident Coronary Heart Disease in the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study.
Conclusions: A greater burden of SDH was associated with a graded increase in risk of incident CHD, with greater magnitude and independent associations for fatal incident CHD. Counting the number of SDH may be a promising approach that could be incorporated into clinical care to identify individuals at high risk of CHD. PMID: 33269599 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of Factors Associated With Direct Versus Transferred-in Admission to Government-Designated Regional Centers Between Acute Ischemic Stroke and Myocardial Infarction in Korea
CONCLUSIONS: Various patient factors were differentially associated with direct admission to RCVCs between AIS and AMI. Public education for symptom awareness and use of EMS is essential in optimizing the transportation and hospitalization of patients with AMI and AIS.PMID:36325609 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2022.37.e305

Lack of association between proton pump inhibitors and adverse events in patients taking clopidogrel and aspirin
Commentary on Douglas IJ, Evans SJ, Hingorani AD, et al.. Clopidogrel and interaction with proton pump inhibitors: comparison between cohort and within person study designs. BMJ 2012;345:e4388 Context Clopidogrel inhibits the P2Y12 platelet receptor and is used in patients with acute coronary syndromes or ischaemic stroke to prevent recurrent vascular events. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), however, have been shown to reduce the pharmacodynamic effect of clopidogrel upon platelet inhibition, and have been linked in retrospective studies to a higher rate of ischaemic outcomes in patients taking clopidogrel. Methods A total o...
