COVID-19 and the Cardiovascular System: Insights into Effects and Treatments
Can J Physiol Pharmacol. 2021 Sep 21. doi: 10.1139/cjpp-2021-0093. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an acute and highly transmissible infectious disease has reached a pandemic level since March 11, 2020 and continues to challenge the healthcare system worldwide. The pathogenesis of COVID-19 is a complex process involving mechanisms that suppress the host antiviral and innate immune response, while triggering marked activation of coagulation and hyperinflammation leading to cytokine storm in severe COVID-19. This review summarizes current evidence related to COVID-19-associated cardiovascul...

The 2017 hormone therapy position statement of The North American Menopause Society
Abstract: The 2017 Hormone Therapy Position Statement of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) updates the 2012 Hormone Therapy Position Statement of The North American Menopause Society and identifies future research needs. An Advisory Panel of clinicians and researchers expert in the field of women's health and menopause was recruited by NAMS to review the 2012 Position Statement, evaluate new literature, assess the evidence, and reach consensus on recommendations, using the level of evidence to identify the strength of recommendations and the quality of the evidence. The Panel's recommendations were reviewed and a...

Association of Long-Term Exposure to Transportation Noise and Traffic-Related Air Pollution with the Incidence of Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study
Conclusion: We found a positive association between residential transportation noise and diabetes, adding to the growing body of evidence that noise pollution exposure may be independently linked to metabolic health and should be considered when developing public health interventions. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1279 Received: 26 October 2016 Revised: 07 May 2017 Accepted: 09 May 2017 Published: 31 August 2017 Address correspondence to C.

Assessment and management of the Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusion Integration of clinical, biomarker, and imaging risk factors can improve overall prediction for the presence of LAA thrombi, translating into improved patient selection for imaging. The gold standard for the diagnosis of LAA thrombi remains TEE, although ICE, CCT, and CMR are promising alternative modalities. When LAA thrombi are discovered, the treatment regimen remains variable, although DOACs may have similar efficacy to VKA. Future trials will help further elucidate DOAC use for the treatment of LAA thrombi.

A Review of the Use of Direct Oral Anticoagulant Use in Orthotopic Heart Transplantation Recipients
Over 60 years ago, the vitamin K antagonist (VKA) warfarin was approved and remained the only oral anticoagulation agent until recently [1]. Currently, within North America and Europe there are four DOACs available. Dabigatran, first approved in Europe and Canada in 2008, then in the United States of America in 2010, followed by rivaroxaban, apixaban, and most recently edoxaban. The introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has been a major advancement and these agents are the preferred to VKAs for many indications [2 –5], including stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), acute treatment and...

Impact of cost on use of non-vitamin K antagonists in atrial fibrillation patients in Ontario, Canada
AbstractCanadian guidelines recommend non vitamin K antagonists (NOACs) in preference to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but NOACs are more expensive than VKAs. Canada has a universal healthcare system that covers the cost of NOACs for select patient groups. Ability to pay for NOACs may influence their use. We reviewed medical charts of Hamilton General Hospital outpatients under the age of 65 with a new diagnosis of AF who were referred for initiation of OAC therapy. We contacted these patients by phone and asked them to complete a questionnaire regarding their...

1. Abstract Title: Management of Cerebral Vein Thrombosis in a Large Canadian Tertiary Hospital
Introduction: Cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon cause of stroke and is more likely to affect young adults and children. Women have a three-fold increased risk compared to men, owing to gender specific factors such as oral contraceptive use (OCP), pregnancy, and hormone replacement therapies. The presenting symptoms of CVT are non-specific and include headache, seizure, focal neurological deficits, or coma as the most severe presentation. The rarity and variable symptoms of the disease leads to delayed diagnosis and implementation of treatment.

Tobacco Use in the Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: Patient Behavior, Opinions, and Care
ConclusionsMPN patients with current or previous tobacco use demonstrate significantly higher symptom burden than non-smoking counterparts. In terms of patient care, less than half of patients who are current or previous smokers recall having a physician discuss their smoking habits with them. These results highlight the need for enhanced MPN patient counseling by health care providers, both regarding the risks of smoking and available methods to aid cessation.DisclosuresScherber: Orphan Pharmaceuticals: Honoraria; Incyte: Consultancy.
