Abstract 31: Patterns Of Healthcare Resource Utilization Among Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus At Risk Of Cardiovascular Events In The Large Population-based Study To Help Improve Early Evaluation And Management Of Risk Factors Leading To Diabetes (SHIELD) Poster Session I
Conclusions: CVD events among T2DM patients continue to represent a very high economic burden on the healthcare system. HRU is very high among adults with T2DM at-risk of CVD events and significantly higher among those who had a new CVD event within 3 and 5 years compared with those who did not have a new CVD event.

Saturated fat link with heart disease questioned
This article is one doctor's opinion based on his own knowledge, research and experience. However, it is fair to say there is an ongoing debate about how far cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease, especially in people who are otherwise healthy. There is also a similar debate about the use of statins in people who have no evidence of cardiovascular disease. This is alongside ongoing research into the components of LDL and the different types of lipoproteins known to increase risk the most. None of this relevant new evidence is covered by the news reporting.   What should you eat? There is no need to change curren...

Triple Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention A Contemporary Review
Chronic oral anticoagulant therapy is recommended (class I) in patients with mechanical heart valves and in patients with atrial fibrillation with a CHA2DS2-VASc (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke or transient ischemic attack or thromboembolism, Vascular disease, Age 65 to 74 years, Sex category) score ≥1. When these patients undergo percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting, treatment with aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor also becomes indicated. Before 2014, guidelines recommended the use of triple therapy (vitamin K antagonists, aspirin, and clopidog...

Clinical characteristics, hospital care, and prognosis of patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction: Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry
The authors analyse clinical data, hospital care, and short- and long-term prognosis of 4981 ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients enrolled in the web-based Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry. It has been found that the mean age of STEMI patients was lower by 5.3 years than that of patients treated for non-STEMI (NSTEMI). In the group of NSTEMI patients (n = 3601), the occurrence of diabetes, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, and previous history of myocardial infarction and stroke were significantly more frequent. The proportion of smokers among STEMI patients was remarkably higher. Pr...

Internal carotid artery stenting for intracranial atherosclerosis.
Abstract Intracranial atherosclerotic disease is a significant cause of stroke in the United States. Much like coronary atherosclerosis, this disease leads to arterial stenosis secondary to the buildup of lipid-based plaques in intracranial vessels. Ischemic stroke may occur following thromboembolic events near the site of stenosis or from watershed ischemia secondary to cerebral hypoperfusion. While this disease has been treated with intracranial angioplasty and stenting and cerebrovascular bypass surgery, the current literature supports aggressive medical management with dual antiplatelet therapy, treatment of c...

A Meta‐Analysis of Sex‐Related Differences in Outcomes After Primary Percutaneous Intervention for ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
ConclusionsAs compared to men, women undergoing pPCI have more bleedings and strokes, and a worse early, but not mid‐term mortality. These findings may allow a better risk stratification of pPCI patients.

Early cardiovascular events in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus
Conclusions: A history of GDM was identified as a risk factor of CVD, especially coronary vascular diseases, within the 7 years postpartum. A lifestyle changes from postpartum onwards can be recommended and supported.

Impact of Impaired Renal Function in Patients With Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions Treated With Orbital Atherectomy.
CONCLUSION: Despite higher-risk baseline characteristics, patients with CKD had no significant differences in MACCE. Orbital atherectomy represents a reasonable treatment strategy for the treatment of severe CAC in patients with CKD. A prospective randomized trial with long-term follow-up is needed to identify the optimal treatment for these patients. PMID: 28089999 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prognostic Analysis for Cardiogenic Shock in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction Receiving Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Abstract Cardiogenic shock (CS) is uncommon in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Long-term outcome and adverse predictors for outcomes in AMI patients with CS receiving percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) are unclear. A total of 482 AMI patients who received PCI were collected, including 53 CS and 429 non-CS. Predictors for AMI patients with CS including recurrent MI, cardiovascular (CV) mortality, all-cause mortality, and repeated-PCI were analyzed. The CS group had a lower central systolic pressure and central diastolic pressure (both P < 0.001). AMI patients with hypertension h...

Outcomes of Patients With a History of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Who Underwent Orbital Atherectomy for Severe Coronary Artery Calcification.
CONCLUSION: Despite a higher-risk baseline profile, patients with a history of CABG had similar angiographic and clinical outcomes compared with patients who had no previous history of CABG. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of orbital atherectomy in these patients. PMID: 28974662 [PubMed - in process]

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.

Effect of an intensified multifactorial intervention on cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in type 2 diabetes (J-DOIT3): an open-label, randomised controlled trial
This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00300976. Findings Between June 16, 2006, and March 31, 2009, 2542 eligible patients were randomly assigned to intensive therapy or conventional therapy (1271 in each group) and followed up for a median of 8·5 years (IQR 7·3–9·0). Two patients in the intensive therapy group were found to be ineligible after randomisation and were excluded from the analyses. During the intervention period, mean HbA1c, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and LDL cholesterol concentrations were significantly lower in the intensive therapy group than in the convent...

Red blood cell transfusion in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction-a  meta-analysis of more than 21,000 patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Red blood cell transfusion increases the morbidity and mortality in patients with STEMI. This difference could not be explained by the higher morbidity in the red blood cell transfusion group alone. Further randomised controlled trials are required to provide a reliable haemoglobin threshold for these patients. PMID: 30039381 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
