Risk of Cardiovascular Events and Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Patients without Prior Atrial Fibrillation: Implications for Expanding the Indications for Anticoagulation
Conclusions Patients without diagnosed AF but with certain risk factors were at a particularly high cardiovascular risk and may require new prevention approaches. In addition to the ongoing trials, future trials in other high-risk populations, e.g., diabetes and chronic kidney disease may be warranted.

Impact of diabetes on benefit of switching dual antiplatelet therapy after acute coronary syndrome: A subanalysis of the TOPIC randomized study
Conclusion Switching DAPT proved its benefit after ACS in terms of bleeding prevention. However, in diabetic patients switching DAPT was associated with excess of ischemic events despite bleeding prevention. Switching DAPT strategy should be preferred in non-diabetic patients.

Role of Antiplatelet Therapy in Stroke Prevention in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.
Authors: Manaktala R, Kluger J
Abstract
Patients with atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of having a cardioembolic stroke. The use of oral anticoagulation is now well established to prevent strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation and a CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years [2 points], diabetes mellitus, prior stroke/transient ischemic attack or thromboembolism [2 points], vascular disease, age 65 to 74 years, and sex category) score of greater than 1, beyond sex. However, the role of antiplatelet therapy, specifically aspirin in low-risk patients or as an alternative to o...

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...

Recurrent Ischemic Stroke: Strategies for Prevention.
Abstract
Recurrent strokes make up almost 25% of the nearly 800,000 strokes that occur annually in the United States. Risk factors for ischemic stroke include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, and obesity. Lifestyle modifications, including tobacco cessation, decreased alcohol use, and increased physical activity, are also important in the management of patients with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack. Antiplatelet therapy is recommended to reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke. The selection of antiplatelet therapy should be based on timing, safety, effectiveness, ...

Long ‐term aspirin does not lower risk of stroke and increases bleeding risk in low‐risk atrial fibrillation ablation patients
ConclusionsAfter catheter ablation, low risk patients do not benefit from long‐term aspirin therapy, but are at risk for higher rates of bleeding when compared to no therapy or warfarin.

A Diagnostic Approach to Stroke in Young Adults
Opinion statementOptimal diagnosis and management of stroke in young adults benefit from a multidisciplinary team, including a vascular neurology specialist. In addition to the “standard” vascular risk factors including smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, one needs to consider alternative etiologies including substance abuse, carotid/vertebral artery dissections, and rare genetic conditions among others. Once a young patient is determined to have had a stroke, the next question a clinician should ask iswhy did this patient have a stroke? A “heart to head” diagnostic approach is recommended. A thoro...

Management and clinical outcome of stable coronary artery disease in Austria : Results from 5 years of the CLARIFY registry.
CONCLUSION: Characteristics of Austrian outpatients with stable CAD corresponded to those of patients with CAD in other developed countries. Medical treatments following the recommendations of the European guidelines were prescribed in the majority of patients; however, recommended goals of life style interventions including a heart rate less than 60 bpm and general risk factor management were not achieved by a high proportion of patients. Heart rate control and life style changes remain unmet needs of cardiovascular care in Austria.

Stroke-Related Disease Comorbidity and Secondary Stroke Prevention Practices Among Young Stroke Survivors
Conclusions: Many young stroke survivors exhibit comorbid disease conditions that are similar to older stroke survivors. A large percentage are engaged in general chronic disease and secondary stroke prevention practices, yet less than two-thirds had seen a general doctor in the past 12 months. Primary care doctors and other health professionals are critical to the implementation of disease management strategies that consider their age, secondary stroke risk, expected life spans, and other issues that differ from older adult stroke survivors.

Proteinuria Predicts Resistance to Antiplatelet Therapy in Ischemic Stroke
AbstractThe occurrence of a stroke while on antiplatelet agents presents a therapeutic dilemma. One of the main causes for recurrent strokes is antiplatelet resistance more commonly known as high on treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR). Prior studies have established that proteinuria is associated with HTPR following myocardial infarction. Here, we investigated whether dipstick proteinuria correlates with HTPR in patients presenting with stroke. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of 102 patients admitted for a recurrent ischemic stroke that had either a VerifyNow aspirin or VerifyNow clopidogrel laboratory test p...
