Septal Alcohol Ablation Versus Myectomy for Symptomatic Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy: Systematic Review and Meta ‐analysis
ConclusionCompared with SM, ASA is associated with lower peri ‐procedural mortality and stroke but higher rates of pacemaker implantations and re‐intervention. However, there was no difference between ASA and SM with regards to long‐term all‐cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality or SCD.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

The Impact of Diet and Lifestyle on Atrial Fibrillation
AbstractPurpose of ReviewAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in humans, affecting more than 33 million people globally. Its association with complex, resource intensive medical conditions such as stroke, heart failure and dementia have had profound impacts across existing health care structures. The global prevalence of AF has enjoyed significant growth despite significant improvement in our armamentarium for arrhythmia treatment.Recent FindingsEfforts aimed at curtailing the incidence, prevalence, or progression of AF have prompted re-evaluation of traditional frameworks for understand...

Worsening of the Cardiovascular Profile in a Developing Country: The Greater Beirut Area Cardiovascular Cohort
ConclusionsThe overall prevalence of CVD risk factors in this urban population is higher than reported in the 2010 World Health Organization Stepwise Approach to Surveillance report on the Lebanese population, indicating that the urban population in the capital carries a higher burden of CVD risk. In addition, sex and age difference rates of CVD risk factors highlight the need for tailored public health measures to tackle the sex- and age-based CVD risk factors.

Abstract 111: Depression as a Risk Factor for Incident Ischemic Stroke Among HIV-infected Veterans Session Title: Poster Session AM
Conclusions: In the VACS, MDD was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in HIV+ veterans after adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, traditional cerebrovascular risk factors, and HIV factors; however, this association was modestly attenuated after adjustment for cocaine and alcohol abuse/dependence. Future research is necessary to: (a) fully elucidate the relationships among MDD, cocaine/alcohol use, and stroke risk and (b) determine whether intervening on MDD reduces stroke risk in HIV+ and HIV- people. Clinical providers should be aware of the increased stroke risk among HIV+ adults with MDD.

Dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion: single center experience with the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug.
CONCLUSION: Antithrombotic therapy after percutaneous LAAO is needed to prevent thrombotic complications, yet these impose bleeding complications in this high-risk population. Further efforts are needed to define the optimal duration of DAPT, aimed at reducing bleeding complications while maintaining a low thrombosis rate. PMID: 29607737 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Alcohol and CV Health: Jekyll and Hyde J-Curves
A routine of light or moderate alcohol consumption ( ≤1 drink/day for women and 1 to 2 drinks/day for men) were associated with a lower risk for all-cause mortality, coronary artery disease (CAD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), heart failure (HF), and stroke. Conversely, heavy drinking, (>4 drinks/day) is associated with an increased risk for death and cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). Excessive alcohol intake trails behind only smoking and obesity among the 3 leading causes of premature deaths in the United States (US).

The impact of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score on cardiac prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure
AbstractLiver abnormalities have a strong impact on clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF), and are known as cardio-hepatic syndrome. The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) fibrosis score (NFS) has been developed to identify liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. It remains to be determined whether NFS is associated with cardiovascular prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We calculated NFS in 516 patients with CHF admitted to our hospital. The clinical endpoints were deaths due to progressive HF, myocardial infarction, stroke, and sudden cardiac death, and rehospitalization for wors...

Characteristics of patients with atrial fibrillation prescribed antiplatelet monotherapy compared with those on anticoagulants: insights from the GARFIELD-AF registry
ConclusionPrescribing AP monotherapy in newly diagnosed AF has declined, but even nowadays a substantial proportion of AP-treated patients with AF have no indication for AP.Clinical Trial RegistrationURL:http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01090362.

Should small-to-moderate alcohol consumption be recommended for healthy middle-aged women?
Sex-specific differences may exist in the association of alcohol consumption and atrial fibrillation. The article by Gallagher et al. [1] demonstrated that significant associations between moderate alcohol consumption and increased risk of atrial fibrillation among men but not among women. Low alcohol consumption is not associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation in both genders. Light to moderate alcohol consumption has been consistently associated with reduced risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, and congestive heart failure.

Development and Validation of Electronic Quality Measures to Assess Care for Patients With Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Ischemic Stroke Original Articles
Conclusions— It is feasible to construct valid eQMs for processes of transient ischemic attack and minor ischemic stroke care. Healthcare systems with EHRs should consider using electronic data to evaluate care for their patients with transient ischemic attack and to complement and expand quality measurement programs currently focused on patients with stroke.

Association between vitamin D deficiency and heart failure risk in the elderly
ConclusionsThere was a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the elderly, and the evidence shows a strong association between vitamin D deficiency and increased risk of heart failure in this population.
