Optimized Screening of Coronary Artery Disease With Invasive Coronary Angiography and Ad Hoc Percutaneous Coronary Intervention During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Structural Heart Disease
Conclusions— In patients undergoing TAVR, screening of CAD with invasive coronary angiography and ad hoc PCI during TAVR is feasible and was not associated with increased periprocedural risks. PCI followed by TAVR in the same session had similar outcomes than TAVR in which PCI was not performed.

Utilization of triple antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
ConclusionsThe utilization of TAT following PCI among high-stroke risk AF patients steadily increased from 2011 to 2020, reaching 65.4% by the end of the study period. However, in 2020, a significant proportion of 29.4% of patients still received DAPT, indicating that many AF patients undergoing PCI did not receive adequate antithrombotic therapy.

A causal relationship between irritability and cardiovascular diseases: a Mendelian randomization study
CONCLUSION: Our findings support the first genetic evidence of the causality of genetically predicted irritability with the risk of developing into CVDs. Our results deliver a viewpoint that more early active interventions to manage an individual's anger and related unhealthy lifestyle habits are needed to prevent the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events.PMID:37324625 | PMC:PMC10267866 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2023.1174329

Saturated fat link with heart disease questioned
This article is one doctor's opinion based on his own knowledge, research and experience. However, it is fair to say there is an ongoing debate about how far cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease, especially in people who are otherwise healthy. There is also a similar debate about the use of statins in people who have no evidence of cardiovascular disease. This is alongside ongoing research into the components of LDL and the different types of lipoproteins known to increase risk the most. None of this relevant new evidence is covered by the news reporting.   What should you eat? There is no need to change curren...

Study may bust myth of 'fat and fit' healthy obesity
Conclusion This meta-analysis provides further evidence about the known risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. What this study adds is the indication that people who are metabolically unhealthy regardless of their weight are at increased risk. However, interestingly, no increase in risk was seen for the category of people who are metabolically healthy though overweight. A strength of this meta-analysis is the large sample size. However, the results should be interpreted with caution as: The studies did not use the same criteria for assessing metabolic status. The studies did not use the same criteri...

Lp(a) and cardiovascular risk: investigating the hidden side of the moon
Conclusions Lipoprotein (a) (Lp[a]) seems to significantly influence the risk of cardiovascular events. The effects of statins and fibrates on Lp(a) are limited and extremely variable. Nicotinic acid was shown effective in reducing Lp(a) but, due to its side effects and serious adverse events during clinical trials, it is no longer considered a possible option for treatment. To date, the treatment of choice for high levels of Lp(a) in high CV risk patients is represented by LDL-Apheresis. Thanks to innovative technologies, new selectively inhibiting LPA drugs are being developed and tested.

Comparative Effectiveness of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) Surgery and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in Elderly Patients with Diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS: CABG appears to be the preferred revascularization strategy for elderly patients with diabetes and coronary heart disease. However, this result should be interpreted considering study limitations, for example, several patient clinical variables and physician-related factors which may affect procedure outcomes are not available in the data. Clinical decisions should be individualized considering all patient and physician-related factors. PMID: 27479778 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes in patients treated with ticagrelor or clopidogrel after acute myocardial infarction: experiences from SWEDEHEART registry
Conclusion Ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel post-ACS was associated with a lower risk of death, MI, or stroke, as well as death alone. Risk of bleeding was higher with ticagrelor. These real-world outcomes are consistent with randomized trial results.

Abstract 042: Association Between Preexisting Valvular Heart Disease and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Among Hospitalized Patients in the United States Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: In this large, nationwide study, preexisting VHD was associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized for TTCM. Our results can guide future clinical decision-making regarding prompt risk factor identification for poor prognosis in TTCM patients. Future prospective studies are needed to further evaluate this association.

Plasma Metal Concentrations and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Chinese Adults: The Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort
Conclusions: Our study suggested that incident CHD was positively associated with plasma levels of titanium and arsenic, and inversely associated with selenium. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings in other populations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1521 Received: 22 December 2016 Revised: 17 September 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Published: 19 October 2017 Address correspondence to T.
