Bone mineral density and risk of cardiovascular disease in men and women: the HUNT study
AbstractThe association between bone mineral density (BMD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is not fully understood. We evaluated BMD as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and specifically atrial fibrillation (AF), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), ischemic (IS) and hemorrhagic stroke (HS) and heart failure (HF) in men and women. This prospective population cohort utilized data on 22 857 adults from the second and third surveys of the HUNT Study in Norway free from CVD at baseline. BMD was measured using single and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in the non-dominant distal forearm and T-score was calculated. Hazard...

Screen-Detected Atrial Fibrillation and “Micro-Atrial Fibrillation” and Risk of Cardiovascular Events after Myocardial Infarction in Elderly Patients
Conclusions: Two-week intermittent ECG screening identified few cases of new-onset AF but a substantial number of patients with “micro-AF.” “Micro-AF” was associated with an increased risk of major cardiovascular events, albeit with an intermediate risk compared to those with new-onset AF.
