Comparative Effectiveness of Combination Therapy with Statins and Angiotensin ‐Converting Enzyme Inhibitors versus Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease: A Nationwide Population‐Based Cohort Study in Korea
ConclusionA MACCE was less likely to occur in patients who received a statin ‐ARB than in those who received a statin‐ACEI. Similar trends were seen in cardiovascular mortality and the occurrence of recurrent MI but not stroke. The availability of statin‐ARB fixed‐dose combinations may have contributed to the improved outcomes in the statin‐ARB cohort by reducing p ill burden and improving medication adherence. Further research is warranted to validate our findings and to address whether a particular statin‐ARB combination is more effective than other combinations.

Correlates of Emergency Department Service Utilization Among U.S. Chinese Older Adults
AbstractOlder adults visit emergency departments (EDs) at a disproportionally higher rate than other age groups. Prior studies examining racial disparities in ED utilization focus on African Americans and Hispanics. There is a dearth of information on ED utilization patterns among older Asian Americans despite the evidence that ED expenditures in Asian Americans are comparable to that of Caucasians. To address this knowledge gap, we examined factors associated with ED service utilization in the largest Asian subgroup, U.S. Chinese older adults. Cross-sectional data from the Population Study of Chinese Elderly in Chicago (P...

Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Predicts Ischemic Stroke: a Longitudinal Follow-Up Study
Objectives:
To investigate the risk of stroke in SSNHL patients.
Study Design:
A longitudinal follow-up cohort study.
Setting:
The Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort from 2002 to 2013.
Patients:
The 4,944 SSNHL participants were matched with 19,776 controls for age, sex, income, region of residence, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The SSNHL subjects were diagnosed (International Classification of Disease [ICD]-10: H91.2), underwent an audiometry examination, and were treated with steroids. The history of hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipide...

Risk of Coronary Heart Disease and Ischemic Stroke Incidence in Gastric Cancer Survivors: A Nationwide Study in Korea.
CONCLUSIONS: CHD and ischemic stroke risk decreased after gastrectomy. The amount of weight loss and accompanying metabolic changes seemed to mediate the reduction of such risk. Reassessment of cardiovascular risk factors after gastrectomy and consideration of cardiovascular risk in the selection of treatment modality are suggested.

Under Affordable Care Act, Americans have had more preventive care for heart health, UCLA study finds
By reducing out-of-pocket costs for preventive treatment, the Affordable Care Act appears to have encouraged more people to have health screenings related to their cardiovascular health,a UCLA study found. Comparing figures from 2006 through 2013, researchers found that more people were screened for diabetes, high cholesterol, cigarette use and high blood pressure — all risk factors for heart disease — after the ACA was implemented than before.But the research, published in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Managed Care, also revealed a disparity between men and women in one key area. Although more men who are at r...

Abstract P173: Target Blood Pressure in Elderly Hypertensive Patients: A Korean National Health Insurance Service Health Examinee Cohort Study Session Title: Onsite Poster Competition I With Reception
This study used the National Health Insurance Service Health examinee Sample Cohort. We selected subjects who were over the age of 60 years and who had received a newly diagnosis of hypertension (Korean Classification of Disease [KCD] codes I10–I13) from 2003 to 2006. Subjects who had previous major cardiovascular (CV) events, such as heart failure, ischemic heart disease, stroke, or end stage renal disease (ESRD) were excluded. The remaining 25,858 individuals were divided into three groups; 1) mean systolic blood pressure (SBP)

Association of Long-Term Exposure to Transportation Noise and Traffic-Related Air Pollution with the Incidence of Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study
Conclusion:
We found a positive association between residential transportation noise and diabetes, adding to the growing body of evidence that noise pollution exposure may be independently linked to metabolic health and should be considered when developing public health interventions. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1279

Risk of Stroke in Elderly Dialysis Patients.
Authors: Han SS, Ryu DR, Joo KW, Lim CS, Kim YL, Kang SW, Kim YS, Kim DK
Abstract
Despite the current knowledge about the risk of stroke and its related factors in general population, this issue in elderly patients receiving dialysis remains unresolved. Firstly, to compare the risk of stroke between hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD), data on 13,065 incident dialysis patients (aged ≥ 65 years; 10,675 in HD and 2,390 in PD) were retrieved from the Korean Health Insurance dataset. Secondly, to identify the risk factors of stroke amongst various clinical and laboratory parameters in HD, 980 elderly patie...
