Ap-519-04 development of the atrial fibrillation “behavioral cha2ds2-vasc” in electrophysiology clinics
AF etiology, recurrence, and burden are influenced by both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors spanning biological, behavioral, and demographic factors. There is increased interest in understanding and measuring behavioral risk factors (e.g., alcohol, sedentariness, smoking) associated with AF, to reduce stroke risk. An efficient measure of lifestyle factors in AF would allow for rapid clinical assessment and appropriate patient education and referral.

Drugs of Misuse: Focus on Vascular Dysfunction
Can J Cardiol. 2022 Apr 21:S0828-282X(22)00261-6. doi: 10.1016/j.cjca.2022.04.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCommon drugs of misuse, including cannabis, opioids, stimulants, alcohol, and anabolic steroids, have strikingly disparate acute and chronic vascular effects, leading to a wide range of clinical cardiovascular presentations. Acute cannabis smoking has been associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke in otherwise healthy young people. However, it remains uncertain if people who exclusively smoke cannabis have increased risk for accelerated atherosclerosis similar to that found in ...

Frequent drinking is more predictive of ischemic stroke than binge drinking, but not of myocardial infarction
Alcohol consumption has complex effects on myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke. We investigated the difference in associations according to drinking patterns (drinking frequency vs. amount per occasion) and sex.

Correlation Between Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
CONCLUSION: CIMT is increased in NAFLD patients. Increase in CIMT is significantly correlated with increasing grades of NAFLD. Hence CIMT can be used as screening tests in NALFD patients to assess cardiovascular risks.PMID:35443534

NAFLD increases Risk of Carotid Atherosclerosis and Ischemic Stroke. An Updated Meta-Analysis with 135,602 Individuals
CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis shows that a stepwise increment of steatosis of NAFLD can significantly increase the odds of carotid atherosclerosis and stroke development in NAFLD. More than a third suffer from carotid atherosclerosis and routine assessment of carotid atherosclerosis is quintessential in NAFLD.PMID:35232007 | DOI:10.3350/cmh.2021.0406

Novel bleeding prediction model in atrial fibrillation patients on new oral anticoagulants
Conclusions We present a novel and simple risk score for prediction of major bleeding in patients with non-valvular AF treated with NOACs. Validation in additional cohorts is warranted.

Recent clinical trials in atrial fibrillation
Purpose of review Management of atrial fibrillation can be overwhelming with the amount of information and treatment options available today. This review discusses landmark and other clinically relevant trials published in the last 18 months. Recent findings There have been several recent key clinical trials and subanalyses in the field of atrial fibrillation. Early rhythm control with ablation or antiarrhythmic medications has upended the previous practice of rate control for patients with atrial fibrillation. Vein of Marshall alcohol ablation in combination with endocardial mitral annular ablation and a hybrid...

Risk factors predisposing to acute stroke in India: a prospective study
Conclusion: The foremost risk factors for stroke in India, hypertension and diabetes, need to be controlled and treated like other global high-risk populations for stroke prevention. The NIHSS scores highlight the relationship between risk factors and stroke severity.
