Social Vulnerability and Premature Cardiovascular Mortality Among US Counties, 2014 to 2018
CONCLUSIONS: In this analysis, US counties with more social vulnerabilities had higher premature CVD mortality, varied by demographic characteristics and rurality. Focused public health interventions should address the socioeconomic disparities faced by underserved communities to curb the growing burden of premature CVD.PMID:34662161 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.054516

Meta-Analysis Addressing the Effect of Mineralcorticoid Receptor Antagonists on the Risk for New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) constitutes the most common, major cardiac arrhythmia worldwide, with an estimated prevalence in the United States equal to 2.3 million affected subjects, projected to increase to 5.6 million by 2050.1 Hypertension and background heart disease (mainly, congestive heart failure) or valve disease represent main risk factors for AF development.1 Other modifiable risk factors are sedentary lifestyle, smoking, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and obstructive sleep apnea.2 AF is associated with a significant increase in the risk for all-cause and cardiovascular death, ischemic stroke, heart failure (HF), isch...

Sleep Duration and Cardiovascular Health in A Representative Community Population (from NHANES, 2005 to 2016)
We examined the relation between sleep duration and cardiovascular health among the general population in the United States from 2005 to 2016. We sought to investigate associations between sleep duration and the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), stroke, hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), and hyperlipidemia.

Hypertensive Heart Failure: Sprinting to the Finish Line to Prevent End-Organ Damage
Hypertension affects a billion individuals globally,1 and with the aging population (79% of men and 85% of women>75 years old have high blood pressure [BP]), this number continues to grow,2,3 and the consequences of hypertension are expected to increase. High BP is second only to cigarette smoking as a preventable cause of death in the United States,4 and uncontrolled hypertension results in heart failure, coronary artery disease, kidney disease, stroke, and aortic dissection.5 Progress over the last few decades has led to better understanding and a new knowledge of this growing worldwide epidemic of high BP.

Contemporary Approach to Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation: Risks, Benefits, And New Options
Atrial fibrillation is a common diagnosis affecting nearly 3 million adults in the United States. Morbidity and mortality in these patients is driven largely by the associated increased risk of thromboembolic complications, especially stroke. Atrial fibrillation is a stronger risk factor than hypertension, coronary disease, or heart failure and is associated with an approximately five-fold increased risk. Mitigating stroke risk can be challenging and requires accurate assessment of stroke risk factors and careful selection of appropriate therapy.

Childhood and Adolescent Adversity and Cardiometabolic Outcomes: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Cardiovascular Disease in the Young; Council on Functional Genomics and Translational Biology; Council on Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing; and Council on Quality of Care and Outcomes Research Abstract Adverse experiences in childhood and adolescence, defined as subjectively perceived threats to the safety or security of the child's bodily integrity, family, or social structures, are known to be associated with cardiometabolic outcomes over the life course into adulthood. This American Heart Association scientific statement reviews the scientific literature on the influence of childhood adversity on cardiometabo...

Left ventricular hypertrophy in acute stroke patients with known hypertension.
CONCLUSIONS: In acute stroke patients, poor adherence to hypertension treatment is a significant independent predictor of LVH. A clear reason for poor adherence to treatment is elusive in a large proportion of these patients in our study. Further research is needed to identify and develop strategies to combat the key factors responsible for poor adherence to hypertension treatment. PMID: 28722487 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
