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.

Brief Report: Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors Are Associated With Lower Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in People Living With HIV
Conclusion: In this cohort, INSTI-based regimens were associated with a 21% decreased risk of incident cardiovascular disease. These finding require validation in other cohorts and with longer follow-up.

Long-term Outcomes of Concomitant Surgical Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant atrial fibrillation ablation during cardiac surgery is safe, does not increase the rate of perioperative complications, and confers the benefit of long-term survival after cardiac surgery in adults. Atrial fibrillation ablation also improved cardiac surgery patients' long-term survival compared with the matched general atrial fibrillation population.PMID:36216085 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.09.036

Lipid-lowering treatment modifications among patients with hyperlipidemia and a prior cardiovascular event: a US retrospective cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: Real-world evidence indicates that few high-risk patients initiate therapy with high-intensity statins. More than 50% of patients underwent a rechallenge or switching. Despite high CVD risk profile, approximately 20% of patients permanently discontinued any LLT. Key limitations: Pharmacy claims do not provide information on whether patients who had a pharmacy fill actually took the medication as prescribed. It is unknown whether rechallenge was a simple delay in filling a prescription or an actual rechallenge of their index therapy. Reasons for treatment discontinuations or modifications were unavailable in cl...

Impact of Individual Income Level on Late Mortality After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a lower individual income level had an increased risk of the poorer long-term outcomes after CABG as compared with the highest individual income level quartile.PMID:35305990 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.02.055

Incidence and predictors of intracranial bleeding after coronary artery bypass graft surgery
CONCLUSIONS: In an unselected nationwide population undergoing CABG, the incidence of ICB was non-negligible and showed a relatively high incidence rate during the early postoperative period. Post-CABG ICB was associated with a high risk of premature death. Further research is needed to stratify high-risk patients and personalize therapeutic decisions for preventing ICB after CABG.PMID:36035927 | PMC:PMC9411799 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2022.863590
