Carotid artery stenting
Learning objectives After reading this article the reader should:Know the appropriate diagnostic workup for patients with carotid artery disease. Be able to put in perspective, based on strengths and limitations, the results of randomised trials comparing carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy. Be able to identify patients that may benefit from carotid artery stenting. Introduction In western countries, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death, after heart disease, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases.1 Carotid artery disease may be responsible for 10–15% of all ischaemic strokes.2 Randomised contro...

0417 : Thrombolisis with tenecteplase (metalyse) in myocardial infarction an always topical issue
Conclusion Thrombolysis by Tenecteplase of STEMI admitted to ICCU was successfull in 89% of cases, which proves its effectiveness compared with other thrombolytic agents. The reperfusion rate was inversely proportional to time limit chest pain – arrival at ER. Patient education to call the ambulance (190) in case of chest pain should improve this delay and increase the reperfusion rate. The author hereby declares no conflict of interest

Return to the Workforce Following First Hospitalization for Heart Failure: A Danish Nationwide Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: -Patients in the workforce prior to HF hospitalization had low mortality but high risk of detachment from the workforce one year later. Young age, male sex, and higher level of education were predictors of return to work.

Impact of the 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association cholesterol guidelines on the prescription of high-intensity statins in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome or stroke
Conclusions Physicians were more likely to prescribe high-intensity statins in statin-naïve patients as compared with intensifying existing statin therapy, and their prescription pattern was lower after CVA vs ACS.

Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and Offspring Cardiac Structure and Function in Adolescence Epidemiology
ConclusionsAdolescent offspring exposed to maternal preeclampsia had greater relative wall thickness and reduced left ventricular end‐diastolic volume, which could be early signs of concentric remodeling and affect future cardiac function as well as risk of cardiovascular disease.

Rationale and Design of the Medication adherence Improvement Support App For Engagement – Blood Pressure (MedISAFE-BP) Trial
Discussion The MedISAFE-BP trial is the first study to rigorously evaluate an mhealth application's effect on blood pressure and medication adherence. The results will inform the potential effectiveness of this simple system in improving cardiovascular disease risk factors and clinical outcomes.

Neurocognitive functioning in adults with congenital heart disease
ConclusionsFindings suggest concerns about neuropsychological functioning that need to be more comprehensively assessed in adults with CHD. Understanding the cognitive limitations of this aging population can help guide access to resources, transition of care, and medical care engagement, thus improving quality of care and quality of life.

Rationale and design of AXAFA-AFNET 5: an investigator-initiated, randomized, open, blinded outcome assessment, multi-centre trial to comparing continuous apixaban to vitamin K antagonists in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation catheter ablation
Conclusion</div>The results of AXAFA-AFNET 5 will provide evidence informing about the safety of apixaban in ablation patients and on its efficacy including effects on silent brain lesions. AXAFA – AFNET 5 is an investigator-initiated trial sponsored by AFNET. The trial is supported by the DZHK (German Centre for Cardiovascular Research) and by the BMBF (German Ministry of Education and Research) and by Bristol-Myers Squibb/Pfizer Alliance.</span>

Preterm Delivery and Maternal Cardiovascular Disease in Young and Middle-Aged Adult Women.
CONCLUSIONS: Preterm delivery is independently predictive of CVD and may be useful for CVD prevention efforts. Because only a modest proportion of the preterm-CVD association was accounted for by development of conventional CVD risk factors, further research may identify additional pathways.

Cardiovascular Health Awareness and Promotion in Women: AHA ’s Life’s Simple 7™ and Go Red for Women™
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review will discuss the incidence of and trends in cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and associated risk factors among women by ethnic groups, and the recent AHA efforts to increase awareness among women.Recent FindingsCVD mortality among women in the USA accounts for approximately half (49.7%) of total CVD deaths. CHD, as the predominant form of CVD, is the leading cause of death for women in the USA. The general indicators of risk associated with CHD in women include high blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, diabetes and ...

One-year mortality outcomes and hospital readmissions of patients admitted with acute heart failure: Data from the Trivandrum Heart Failure Registry in Kerala, India
Conclusion In the THFR, one of three HF patients died within one-year of follow-up during their productive life years. Sub-optimal adherence to guideline-directed treatment is associated with increased propensity of readmission and death. Quality improvement programs aiming to improve adherence to guideline based therapy and reducing readmission may result in significant survival benefits in the relatively younger cohort of HF patients in India.
