Lipid profiles and atrial fibrillation in ischemic stroke patients treated with thrombectomy: experience from a tertiary Italian stroke hospital
CONCLUSION: Total cholesterol and all cholesterol-related measures were significantly lower in patients undergoing thrombectomy than in other stroke patients. Conversely, we found that AF was significantly high in patients with EVT, suggesting that hypercholesterolemia could be mainly linked to small-vessel occlusion stroke while large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke could show different causes. AIS patients may have different pathogenesis and their understanding may improve enhance the discovery of specific and tailored preventive treatments.PMID:37221691 | DOI:10.2174/1871525721666230522124351

Lifestyle behaviours predicting major cardiovascular diseases mortality in a practically extinct cohort of middle-aged men followed-up for 61 years
Acta Cardiol. 2022 Jul 29:1-8. doi: 10.1080/00015385.2022.2101876. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo study lifetime relationships of three major lifestyle behaviours with cardiovascular mortality in a cohort of middle-aged men that reached practical extinction. In the Italian Areas of the Seven Countries Study of Cardiovascular Diseases (SCS), 1712 men were enrolled and examined in 1960, and behavioural habits were measured: smoking habits, physical activity and diet each divided into three classes. Follow-up for mortality was extended for 61 years. Three groups of major cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were used for analysis,...

Cardiovascular health of nonagenarians in southern Italy: a cross-sectional, home-based pilot study of longevity
Conclusion Nonagenarians and centenarians in the Cilento region had a healthy metabolic profile and a low prevalence of clinical cardiovascular disease. Even among nonagenarians and centenarians with structural heart abnormalities, report of symptoms is low. Larger studies in the Cilento population may help elucidate the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular health in the oldest old.

Age at death of major cardiovascular diseases in 13 cohorts. The seven countries study of cardiovascular diseases 45-year follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: AD is a useful indicator of previous health and aging populations. STR and HDUE are diseases appearing later in life, thus being associated with a higher AD compared with CHD mortality. PMID: 29570017 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
