Antihypertensive Effectiveness of Perindopril Arginine and Indapamide Single-Pill Combination According to Body Mass Index: Findings from the FORSAGE Study
ConclusionsIn subjects with uncontrolled BP on existing antihypertensive therapy, switching to perindopril arginine 10  mg/indapamide 2.5 mg was associated with statistically significant decreases in BP and higher rates of target BP achievement in all BMI groups, including more than 70% of overweight and obese patients.Trial RegistrationISRCTN ID, ISRCTN14315146 (retrospectively registered 18/11/2019).

Time Trends in Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Across the BRICS: An Age-Period-Cohort Analysis of Key Nations with Emerging Economies Using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.
Conclusions: With the exception of Brazil, reductions of CVD mortality across the BRICS have been less than in North America, such that China, India and South Africa contribute an increasing proportion of global CVD deaths. Brazil's example suggests that prevention policies can both reduce the risks for younger birth cohorts and shift the risks for all age groups over time.

Predictors of Unfavorable Outcomes in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Concomitant Heart Failure with Different Ejection Fractions: RIF-CHF Register One-Year Follow-Up.
Conclusions: Each group of patients with different ejection fractions is characterized by its own pattern of factors associated with the development of unfavorable outcomes. The demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with midrange ejection fraction demonstrate that these patients need to be studied as a separate cohort. PMID: 31223501 [PubMed]

Prevalence and Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions for Ostial Chronic Total Occlusions: Insights from a Multicenter CTO Registry
ConclusionsOstial CTOs can be recanalized with similar success rates as non-ostial CTOs, but are more complex and more likely to require retrograde crossing, and may be associated with numerically higher risk for major in-hospital complications.

Combining Watchman left atrial appendage closure and catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: multicentre registry results of feasibility and safety during implant and 30 days follow-up
ConclusionThe outcomes from these international, multicentre registries support the feasibility and safety of performing combined procedures of ablation and Watchman LAAC for patients with non-valvular AF and high stroke risk. Further data are needed on long-term outcomes for the hybrid technique on all-cause stroke and mortality.
