Cardiovascular outcomes and mortality after incident ischaemic stroke in patients with a recent cancer history
CONCLUSIONS: After incident ischaemic stroke, patients with recent cancer history have a lower risk of composite MACE and recurrent stroke outcomes but a higher risk of all-cause mortality when compared with patients without a prior history of cancer.PMID:36549951 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2022.12.006

Low serum albumin: A neglected predictor in patients with cardiovascular disease
Eur J Intern Med. 2022 May 7:S0953-6205(22)00181-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ejim.2022.05.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlbumin, the most abundant circulating protein in blood, is an essential protein which binds and transports various drugs and substances, maintains the oncotic pressure of blood and influences the physiological function of the circulatory system. Albumin also has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antithrombotic properties. Evidence supports albumin's role as a strong predictor of cardiovascular (CV) risk in several patient groups. Its protective role extends to those with coronary artery disease, heart failu...

Intermountain chronic disease risk score (ICHRON) validation for prediction of incident chronic disease diagnoses in an australian primary prevention population.
CONCLUSION: ICHRON predicted ChrD diagnosis at 3-years among an external, geographically distant validation cohort. These findings show the value of ICHRON for primary care patients in distinct locales. Additionally, electronic calculation of ICHRON empowers the clinical use of this tool to identify and differentially manage and treat high-risk patients.

Abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI) predicts primary and secondary cardiovascular risk and cancer mortality.
CONCLUSIONS: The co-existence of abnormal ABI and a history of CV events identifies subjects at higher risk, who call for a more aggressive approach. Abnormal ABI is also a predictor of cancer mortality. PMID: 32151490 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Ankle brachial index most important to identify polyvascular disease in patients with non-ST elevation or ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
CONCLUSIONS: PvD is underdiagnosed in patients suffering from MI, both NSTEMI and STEMI. ABI is a useful and simple measurement that appears predictive of widespread atherosclerosis in these patients. PMID: 26776925 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
