Simultaneous onset of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke in a patient with atrial fibrillation: Multiple territory injury revealed on angiography and magnetic resonance
An 84-year-old man with a history of hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) who received no anticoagulant drugs experienced acute chest pain and transient loss of consciousness. He was transferred to our emergency room. His initial electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with ST-segment elevation in the I, aVL, and V1–V6 leads. His blood pressure was 158/92mmHg and his pulse was regular at 70beats per minute. A chest radiograph showed increased heart size and pulmonary vascular congestion. His troponin T level was elevated (more than 0.1ng/mL). He was diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) and...

Global longitudinal strain predicts incident atrial fibrillation and stroke occurrence after acute myocardial infarction
Abstract: Patients with acute myocardial infarction are at increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation. We aimed to evaluate whether speckle tracking echocardiography improves risk stratification for atrial fibrillation in these patients.
The study comprised of 373 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients had an echocardiogram performed at a median of 2 days after their STEMI. The echocardiograms consisted of conventional measurements and myocardial strain analysis by speckle tracking from 3 apical projections. The endpoint was ...

Abstract
The effects of smoking on the prognosis of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients are unclear.The Shinken Database 2004-11 (n = 17,517) includes all new patients visiting the Cardiovascular Institute between June 2004 and March 2012. Among these cases, 2,102 NVAF patients were identified. The effects of smoking on ischemic stroke (IS), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and coronary artery events including percutaneous c...

Duration of dual antiplatelet therapy after implantation of the first-generation and second-generation drug-eluting stents
Conclusion: In our study, for all patients,>12-month DAPT in patients who had received DES was not significantly more effective than 12-month DAPT in reducing the rate of death/MI/stroke. Our findings, that patients who received SES benefit from>12-month DAPT whereas extended use of DAPT was not significantly more effective in those implanted with ZES, implied that the optimal duration of DAPT was different depending on different types of DES.

Renal physiology and kidney stones
Conclusions: The occurrence of a kidney stone is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events including AMI, death due to CHD,PTCA/CABG and stroke. These data suggest that people with a clinically recognized kidney stone should be followed more closely to evaluate for the possibility of subsequent cardiovascular events -- younger people and women.

Rho-Associated Kinase Activity Is a Predictor of Cardiovascular Outcomes Cardiovascular Outcomes
Cardiovascular diseases are associated with chronic activation of Rho-associated kinase. Rho-associated kinase activity is significantly correlated with endothelial function and Framingham risk score. However, there is no information on the prognostic value of Rho-associated kinase activity. We evaluated Rho-associated kinase activity in peripheral leukocytes by Western blot analysis in 633 subjects who underwent health-screening examination at Hiroshima University Hospital. We assessed the associations between Rho-associated kinase activity and first major cardiovascular events (death from cardiovascular causes, myocardia...

Predictors of long ‐term outcomes after bypass grafting versus drug‐eluting stent implantation for left main or multivessel coronary artery disease
Conclusions: Simple clinical variables and SYNTAX score differentially predict long‐term outcomes after CABG versus those after PCI with DES for left main or multivessel CAD. Those predictors might help to guide the choice of revascularization strategy. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pre-treatment clinical assessment in head and neck cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary Guidelines.
Authors: Robson A, Sturman J, Williamson P, Conboy P, Penney S, Wood H
Abstract
This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. This paper provides recommendations on the pre-treatment clinical assessment of patients presenting with head and neck cancer. Recommendations • Comorbidity data should be collected as it is important in the analysis of survival, quality of life and functional outcomes after treatment as well as for comparing results of different treatment regimens and different centres. (R) • Patients with hypertens...

Efficacy and safety of carotid artery stenting: Experience of a single center.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study revealed that CAS was a safe and practical procedure with an acceptable complication rate. In the appropriate patients, experienced interventionists can achieve good results when aggressive risk modification is applied and an EPD and optimal medical therapy are used.

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...

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.
