Elevated Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity Relates to Longitudinal Gray and White Matter Changes
CONCLUSIONS: In older adults, higher baseline aortic PWV related to greater decrease in gray matter volume and greater increase in WMHs over time. Because of unmet cerebral metabolic demands and microvascular remodeling, arterial stiffening may preferentially affect certain highly active brain regions like the temporal lobes. These same regions are affected early in the course of Alzheimer disease.PMID:34706559 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.121.316477

Contemporary management of persistent atrial fibrillation
Learning objectives Develop a basic understanding of the underlying mechanisms of atrial fibrillation and classification of the disease. Review the main principles in contemporary management of atrial fibrillation with a focus on persistent atrial fibrillation. Discuss catheter ablation in the context of atrial fibrillation. Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a multisystemic disorder that is associated with an excess risk of stroke, heart failure and mortality.1 It remains the most common sustained arrhythmia and its significance should not be underestimated. Research focused on unveiling the mechanisms of AF began o...

Current prescription status of antihypertensive drugs in Chinese patients with hypertension: analysis by type of comorbidities
Clin Exp Hypertens. 2022 Jan 3:1-9. doi: 10.1080/10641963.2021.2022688. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn 2020, the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases with National Committee on Hypertension Management in Primary Health Care in China issued revised national clinical practice guidelines on the management of hypertension in primary health care based on the 2018 Chinese guidelines for the management of hypertension. To evaluate adherence to the guidelines, this retrospective study assessed the real-world status of antihypertensive drug prescribing for Chinese patients with hypertension, classified by comorbidity: coro...

Exploring the Role of Irrational Beliefs, Lifestyle Behaviors, and Educational Status in 10-Year Cardiovascular Disease Risk: the ATTICA Epidemiological Study
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study underline the need to build new, holistic approaches in order to better understand the inter-relationships between irrational beliefs, lifestyle behaviors, social determinants, and CVD risk in individuals.PMID:35474416 | DOI:10.1007/s12529-022-10091-9

Ap-519-04 development of the atrial fibrillation “behavioral cha2ds2-vasc” in electrophysiology clinics
AF etiology, recurrence, and burden are influenced by both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors spanning biological, behavioral, and demographic factors. There is increased interest in understanding and measuring behavioral risk factors (e.g., alcohol, sedentariness, smoking) associated with AF, to reduce stroke risk. An efficient measure of lifestyle factors in AF would allow for rapid clinical assessment and appropriate patient education and referral.

Lifestyle modification and cognitive function among individuals with resistant hypertension: cognitive outcomes from the TRIUMPH trial
Background: Resistant hypertension is associated with increased risk of cognitive decline, stroke, and dementia. Lifestyle modification has been suggested to improve cognitive function through its salutary effects on vascular function. Methods: Participants included 140 patients with resistant hypertension participating in the TRIUMPH trial. Participants were randomized to a cardiac rehabilitation-based lifestyle program (C-LIFE) or a standardized education and physician advice condition (SEPA). Participants completed a 45-min cognitive test battery consisting of tests of Executive Functioning and Learning, Memo...

What Is or What Is Not a Risk Factor for Arterial Hypertension? Not Hamlet, but Medical Students Answer That Question
Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2022 Jul 5;19(13):8206. doi: 10.3390/ijerph19138206.ABSTRACTHypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death worldwide. The most important method of preventing hypertension is social awareness of its causes. An important role in educating society about hypertension is played by medical personnel. The study involved 327 students of medicine representing all years of study. The study used a proprietary questionnaire containing test questions about knowledge of the causes of hypertension (classical and non-classical factors), as well as questionable and false risk ...

Long-term prognosis after a first myocardial infarction: eight years follow up of the case-control study PAROKRANK
Conclusions. In this long-term follow up of a contemporary, case-control study, the risk for cardiovascular events was higher in patients with a previous first MI compared with their matched controls, while mortality did not differ. The access to high quality of care and cardiac rehabilitation might partly explain the low rates of adverse outcomes.PMID:35974709 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2022.2112072
