3D fusion imaging assisted carotid artery stenting is safe and feasible.
CONCLUSIONS: Carotid stenting with 3D fusion in this pilot study was safe and feasible. 3D fusion techniques using either CTA or MRA allowed a significant reduction of contrast volume but did not reduce radiation dose or exposure time. Larger prospective studies of CAS with 3D fusion imaging in patients with renal insufficiency or mild allergy to contrast are warranted. PMID: 31203597 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Role of diabetes and insulin use in the risk of stroke and acute myocardial infarction in patients with atrial fibrillation: A Medicare analysis
ConclusionThere is an incremental risk of ischemic stroke and MI from non-diabetics to non-insulin diabetics with the highest risk in insulin users. Protective effect of anticoagulation is attenuated with insulin use.

Neurocognition in treatment-resistant hypertension: profile and associations with cardiovascular biomarkers
Conclusion: Neurocognitive impairments are common in adults with treatment-resistant hypertension, particularly on tests of executive function. Better neurocognition is independently associated with aerobic fitness, microvascular function, and CVRFs.

Clinical implications of cardiovascular outcome trials in type  2 diabetes.
Clinical implications of cardiovascular outcome trials in type 2 diabetes. Herz. 2019 Feb 25;: Authors: Mellbin LG, Wang A, Rydén L Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main reason for premature death in patients with type 2 diabetes. Hyperglycemia, the hallmark of diabetes, has long been considered the link between diabetes and CVD, and many trials focused on preventing CVD manifestations by means of tight glucose control. However, diabetes is a multifactorial disease in which, e. g., insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, and factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia contrib...

Relation between high sensitivity c-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and thromboembolic risk markers assessed by echocardiography in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation(NVAF)
ConclusionHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein( hs-CRP) ≥4.5 mg/dl level is suggested as inflammatory marker to predict the risk of thromboembolism in patients with non-valvular AF.

The role of hypoglycaemia on provoking tachyarrhythmias in patients with DMT2 , paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAfib) and ischemic stroke
Aim: To study the frequency of hypoglycaemia and its correlation tachyarrythmia in patients with DMT2 (on treatment with insulin or oral medication), pAfib (receiving anticoagulation) and ischemic stroke.

Heart Failure After Ischemic Stroke or TIA in Insulin-Resistant Patients Without Diabetes Treated with Pioglitazone.
Conclusions -In IRIS, with surveillance and dose adjustments, pioglitazone did not increase risk of HF, and conferred net cardiovascular benefit in patients with insulin resistance and cerebrovascular disease. The risk of HF with pioglitazone was not modified by baseline HF risk. The IRIS experience may be instructive for maximizing the net benefit of this therapy.

Randomized placebo controlled trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of single low-dose intracoronary insulin-like growth factor following percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction (RESUS-AMI)
Conclusions In this pilot trial, low-dose IGF1, given after optimal mechanical reperfusion in STEMI, is safe but does not improve LVEF. However, there is a signal for a dose-dependent benefit on post-MI remodeling that may warrant further study.

Circulating Branched-Chain Amino Acids and Incident Cardiovascular Disease in a Prospective Cohort of US Women Original Articles
Conclusions: Circulating plasma BCAAs were positively associated with incident CVD in women. Impaired BCAA metabolism may capture the long-term risk of the common cause underlying T2D and CVD.

Effect of adding GLP-1RA on mortality, cardiovascular events, and metabolic outcomes among insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes: A large retrospective UK cohort study
Conclusion Based on a large UK cohort in routine clinical practice, adding a GLP-1RA to insulin therapy is associated with a reduction in risk of composite CV events and all-cause mortality but a nonsignificant higher risk of hospitalization for heart failure in overweight patients with T2D.

GLP-1 receptor agonists: An example of the challenge for animal models to predict plaque instability/rupture and cardiovascular outcomes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance. Diabetes mellitus is well-established as a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). A collaborative meta-analysis of 102 prospective studies revealed that people with diabetes are exposed to two-fold excess risk for coronary heart disease and stroke after adjustment for lipid profiles and inflammatory markers [1]. Moreover, prevention of cardiovascular complications is regularly integrated in the regime of medical care in diabetic patients, as these patients have a similar ri...

Cardiovascular highlights from non-cardiology journals
Continuous positive airway pressure fails to improve cardiovascular outcomes in obstructive sleep apnea Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased cardiovascular events in observational studies. Randomized trials have demonstrated continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy reduces blood pressure, markers of oxidative stress and insulin insensitivity. Yet, it remains unclear whether treatment with CPAP reduces cardiovascular events. In the largest study of its kind, 2717 patients aged 45 to 75 years with moderate-to-severe OSA and coronary or cerebrovascular disease were randomized in open-label fash...
