Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and risk of antihypertensive treatment intensification and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with stable hypertension and depression
ConclusionsAmong patients with stable hypertension and depression, initiation of serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors had a similar risk of antihypertensive TI and MACE compared to initiation of SSRIs. Future study with a larger sample size is needed to confirm our findings.

Heartbeat: cardiovascular maternal health and disparities in clinical outcomes
Cardiovascular disease continues to account for a high proportion of pregnancy-related deaths in women in the USA. In addition to pre-existing heart disease, gestational hypertension and diabetes, as well as pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, are associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes both in the short and long-term. In this issue of Heart, Marschner and colleagues1 report an incidence of cardiometabolic conditions (hypertensive disease and diabetes) of 224.3 (95% CI 221.3 to 227.3) per 1000 births among 74 510 women, mean age 26.4 years (SD 5.5) in a cross-sectional study of Medicare patients from ...

Comparison of Unibody and Non-Unibody Endografts for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair in Medicare Beneficiaries: The SAFE-AAA Study
CONCLUSIONS: In the SAFE-AAA Study, unibody endografts failed to meet noninferiority compared with non-unibody endografts with respect to aortic reintervention, rupture, and mortality. These data support the urgency of instituting a prospective longitudinal surveillance program for monitoring safety events related to aortic stent grafts.PMID:36866664 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.062123
