Multimorbidity in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Is Associated With Greater Mortality, Higher Readmission Rates, and Increased Length of Stay: A Systematic Review
Conclusions Multimorbid patients with ACS are at a greater risk for worse outcomes than their nonmultimorbid counterparts. Lack of consistent measurement makes interpretation of the impact of multimorbidity challenging and emphasizes the need for more research on multimorbidity's effects on postdischarge healthcare utilization.

The REDUCE-IT verdict on eicosapentaenoic acid and cardiovascular outcome challenged with STRENGTH
Key pointsSTRENGTH,1 an industry-sponsored, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial investigated the effects of a carboxylic acid (CA) formulation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (omega-3 CA) vs. corn oil in 13 078 participants with high cardiovascular (CV) risk, hypertriglyceridaemia, and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.Eligible patients were randomized to receive 4 g/day of omega-3 CA or corn oil in addition to standard preventive therapies, including statins (high-intensity in 50%), renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers (in 81%), and antiplatelet agents ...

Commentary: Untangling the Mystery of Statin Therapy in Treating Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation: Does the Underlying Cardiac Pathology Matter?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important and common complication following cardiac surgery and is associated prolonged hospital stay, and increased perioperative and long term risk of stroke and mortality.1 Its adverse impact carries across all types of cardiac surgical procedures including surgical septal myectomy for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.2 The cause of perioperative AF is incompletely understood, but pre-existing structural changes to the heart, particularly increased left atrial volume, sympathetic activation, and perioperative inflammation are considered important contributors.

Prevalence of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease Among Baltimore City Adults in the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity Across the Life Span (HANDLS) Study
ConclusionsAmong an urban-dwelling population of adults, the use of secondary prevention of CVD was low, with lower aspirin and combination GDMT for Black participants with CAD. Efforts to improve GDMT use at the patient and provider levels may be needed to improve morbidity and mortality and reduce disparities in CVD.

Association between cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular drug therapy, and in-hospital outcomes in patients with COVID-19: data from a large single-center registry in Poland
CONCLUSION: Among cardiovascular risk factors and diseases, HF and DM appeared to increase in-hospital COVID-19 mortality, whereas the use of cardiovascular drugs was associated with lower mortality.PMID:33926173 | DOI:10.33963/KP.15990
