Performance of Bleeding Risk-Prediction Scores in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
In conclusion, the performance of ATRIA, HAS-BLED, mOBRI, and REACH scores in predicting bleeding complications in this high-risk patient subset was useless.

Feasibility and Safety of Uninterrupted Rivaroxaban for Periprocedural Anticoagulation in Patients Undergoing Radiofrequency Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation Results From a Multicenter Prospective Registry
ConclusionsUninterrupted rivaroxaban therapy appears to be as safe and efficacious in preventing bleeding and thromboembolic events in patients undergoing AF ablation as uninterrupted warfarin therapy.

The HAS-BLED Score Has Better Prediction Accuracy for Major Bleeding Than CHADS 2 or CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc Scores in Anticoagulated Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that a specific bleeding risk score, HAS-BLED (hypertension, abnormal renal/liver function, stroke, bleeding history or predisposition, labile international normalized ratio, elderly, drugs/alcohol concomitantly), was better at predicting major bleeding compared with CHADS2 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, 75 years of age or older, diabetes mellitus, and previous stroke or transient ischemic attack) and CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, 75 years of age and older, diabetes mellitus, previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, vascular d...

Trends in the Incidence and Survival of Intracerebral Hemorrhage by its Location in a Japanese Community.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the ICH incidence steeply declined from the 1960s to the 1970s in Japan as a result of the reduced influence of hypertension and alcohol intake, but that this decline has leveled off since then, probably because of the increased incidence of thalamic hemorrhage in the elderly in recent years.

Long-term alcohol consumption is an independent risk factor of hypertension development in northern China: evidence from Kailuan study
Objective:The purpose of the present study was to determine the impact of alcohol consumption on the incidence of hypertension.
Methods:A total of 32 389 male coal mine workers from Kailuan Coal Group in northern China (Kailuan study), free of hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemia attack and cancer, were followed up every 2 years for 4 years. The average alcohol intake during the past year was reported as baseline.
Results:During 4 years of follow-up, 9151 out of 32 389 workers developed hypertension categorically. At the end of the follow-up, the cumulative incidence of hypertension in relati...

Long-Term Cardiovascular Risk in Women Prescribed Fertility Therapy
ObjectivesThe purpose of the study was to investigate whether fertility therapy might contribute to subsequent cardiovascular disease.BackgroundFertility medications are used for 1% of births yet may also lead to endothelial injury with long-term adverse consequences for the mother.MethodsA population-based cohort analysis was performed of women who gave birth in Ontario, Canada, between July 1, 1993, and March 31, 2010, distinguishing those who did and did not receive fertility therapy in the 2 years before delivery. Cox proportional models were derived to estimate hazard ratios with and without adjustment for baseline ch...

Subclinical atherosclerotic calcification and cognitive functioning in middle-aged adults: The CARDIA study
We examined the association of coronary artery and abdominal aortic calcified plaque (CAC and AAC, respectively) with cognitive functioning in middle-aged adults.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 2510 black and white adults (age: 43–55 years) without heart disease or stroke who completed a year 25 follow-up exam (2010–11) as part of the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study. CAC and AAC were measured with non-contrast computed tomography. Cognition was assessed with the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) (psychomotor speed), Stroop Test (executive function), and Rey Auditory Verbal Learni...

The unappreciated importance of blood pressure in recent and older atrial fibrillation trials
Atrial fibrillation and arterial hypertension represent two common clinical conditions that frequently coexist, especially in older individuals, and are associated with increased risk of stroke. Antihypertensive therapy reduces the risk of stroke by approximately 40%. It has been observed that stroke rates were reduced by 10% for every 2-mmHg reduction of blood pressure. Antithrombotic therapy reduces significantly the risk for ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation at the expense of increased risk of intracranial bleeding. The importance of hypertension in patients with atrial fibrillation is recognized by i...

The contribution of diet and lifestyle to socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality
Conclusion: The socioeconomic distribution of diet, smoking and alcohol consumption largely explained the inequalities in CHD and stroke in the Netherlands. These findings need to be considered when developing policies to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular diseases.

Anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients in clinical practice of district hospital in Poland.
CONCLUSIONS: (1). Despite of high stroke risk determined by both scales only 39% of patients received OAC. (2). In the analyzed material the independent predictive factor in this group for prescribing OAC at discharge was arterial hypertension (in accordance with recommendations) and: the younger patients age, no history of stroke/TIA and other than paroxysmal type of AF. (3). Practice of the usage of OAC and/or antiplatelet therapy in AF patients discharged from Polish district hospital was in concordance with current guidelines of ESC neither in 2006 nor 2010.

Risk factors for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease and risk reduction by lipid control: the OMEGA study risk factor sub-analysis.
In conclusion, some risk factors for CVD in hypertensive patients being treated with antihypertensive drugs with no history of CVD differed between CHD and stroke. These results suggest the importance of managing dyslipidemia with a statin for primary prevention of CHD, as well as the importance of hypertension therapy.

Alcohol intake and prognosis of atrial fibrillation
Conclusions
High alcohol intake predicts thromboembolism or death, even after adjustment for established clinical risk factors, and may help identify high risk AF patients who could be targeted for stroke and cardiovascular prevention strategies.

The relationship between job type and development of cerebral stroke in a large, longitudinal cohort study of workers in a railway company in Japan
Conclusions: Since the present results were adjusted for various behavioral and biological factors, they suggest that train crew work itself is associated with a decreased risk of cerebral stroke. These results suggest that further studies on the effect of driving on health may provide information useful for the future prevention of cerebral stroke.Highlights:
