Return to the Workforce Following Infective Endocarditis – a Nationwide Cohort Study
Conclusions Seven out of ten patients who were part of the workforce prior to IE and alive at discharge were part of the workforce one year later. Younger age, higher socioeconomic status, and absence of major comorbidities were associated with return to the workforce.

Diet, microparticles and atherothrombosis.
Abstract Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death worldwide, and is principally caused by atherosclerosis, with subsequent thrombus formation, eventually provoking an acute myocardial infarction or a stroke. The formation and progression of the atherosclerotic plaques responds to multiple factors including certain diets. Intensive research has elucidated the role of diet in cardiovascular disease and has led to public health policies focusing on educating the population on the role of nutrition in cardiovascular health. Compelling evidence shows that a healthy diet, rich in fruit and vegetables with moder...

Parity, Job Strain, and Cardiovascular Risk in the Women ’s Health Study
AbstractPurpose of ReviewPregnancy and employment are critical life events that can affect chronic disease risk in women. Hence, we examined the relationship between parity and cardiovascular risk, and whether job stress affected this association.Recent FindingsCox proportional hazard models examined the association of parity with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk [myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery revascularization, ischemic stroke, and CVD death] in 23,905 participants in the Women ’s Health Study. Parity was defined at baseline as pregnancy lasting>  6 months gestation, categorized as none (referent), ...

Differences in knowledge among patients with atrial fibrillation receiving NOACs and vitamin K antagonists.
CONCLUSIONS: The knowledge of arrhythmia and anticoagulation is better regarding the safety issues among subjects on NOACs compared with VKA. Irrespective of the type of OAC therapy, education of AF patients should be improved. PMID: 29528483 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Abstract 209: Education Level and Long-Term Outcomes After Acute Myocardial Infarction: The China PEACE Prospective AMI Study Session Title: Poster Session PM
Conclusions: In a national Chinese cohort of patients hospitalized with AMI, lower educational attainment was associated with a higher risk of adverse events in the year following discharge. This association highlights the need to explore mechanisms underlying this relationship, and to consider interventions for adults with lower levels of education.

Influence of Sociodemographic Factors and Provider Specialty on Anticoagulation Prescription Fill Patterns and Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation
We examined anticoagulant fills in 223,891 patients with incident non-valvular AF (mean age=71 years; 44% female; 84% white; 9% black; 5% Hispanic; 2% Asian) from the Optum Clinformatics database (2009-2014). Provider specialty and filled anticoagulant prescriptions 3 months prior to and 6 months after AF diagnosis were obtained.

Resuscitation Education Science: Educational Strategies to Improve Outcomes From Cardiac Arrest: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Education Science and Programs Committee, Council on Cardiopulmonary, Critical Care, Perioperative and Resuscitation; Council on Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing; and Council on Quality of Care and Outcomes Research Abstract The formula for survival in resuscitation describes educational efficiency and local implementation as key determinants in survival after cardiac arrest. Current educational offerings in the form of standardized online and face-to-face courses are falling short, with providers demonstrating a decay of skills over time. This translates to suboptimal clinical care and poor survival outcomes fr...

Ten-year association of coronary artery calcium with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events: the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA)
ConclusionsCoronary artery calcium is associated strongly and in a graded fashion with 10-year risk of incident ASCVD as it is for CHD, independent of standard risk factors, and similarly by age, gender, and ethnicity. While 10-year event rates in those with CAC  = 0 were almost exclusively below 5%, those with CAC ≥ 100 were consistently above 7.5%, making these potentially valuable cutpoints for the consideration of preventive therapies. Coronary artery calcium strongly predicts risk with the same magnitude of effect in all races, age groups, an d both sexes, which makes it among the most useful markers for predicting ASCVD risk.

Patients ’ Priorities for Oral Anticoagulation Therapy in Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation: a Multi-criteria Decision Analysis
DiscussionAlthough the relative impact of convenience on therapy value is small, patients have different preferences for options within convenience criteria. Besides considerations on safety and effectiveness, physicians should also discuss attributes of convenience with patients, as it can be assumed that alignment to patient preferences in drug prescription and better patient education could result in higher adherence.

Motivational Interviewing to Support LDL-C Therapeutic Goals and Lipid-Lowering Therapy compliance in patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes (IDEAL-LDL) Study: Rationale and design.
We examined the effect of a patient-centered, physician-led motivational intervention following ACS on relevant secondary prevention aspects. METHODS: Design: The IDEAL-LDL is a single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial, conducted among patients hospitalized due to an ACS. Following discharge, all patients undergo a baseline assessment of lipid profile. Patients in the intervention group receive an in-person educational session and an informative leaflet, and also undergo two phone-based, motivational interviewing sessions at 1 and 6 months. These interventions emphasize on LDL-C goals, adherence to lipid-low...

Differences in knowledge among patients with atrial fibrillation receiving non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists.
CONCLUSIONS: The knowledge of arrhythmia and anticoagulation is better regarding the safety issues among subjects on NOACs compared with those on VKAs. Irrespective of the type of oral anticoagulation therapy, education of AF patients should be improved. PMID: 29528483 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Association of sex, age and education level with patient reported outcomes in atrial fibrillation
In atrial fibrillation (AF), there are known sex and sociodemographic disparities in clinical outcomes such as stroke. We investigate whether disparities also exist with respect to patient-reported outcomes. W...
