Psychosocial and behavioral characteristics of still smokers at 6 months after acute cerebro or cardiovascular events: Findings from INEV@L, a prospective pilot study
ConclusionOur pilot study in young workers highlights the low rate of smoking cessation, and generalized dual use of electronic + conventional cigarette at mid-term after acute MI or stroke. Our findings further suggest specific PSF pattern of non-quitters, associated with loss of perceived disease severity.

Questionnaire-based exposome-wide association studies (ExWAS) reveal expected and novel risk factors associated with cardiovascular outcomes in the Personalized Environment and Genes Study
In conclusion, using statistics and machine learning, these findings identify novel potential risk factors for CVD, enable hypothesis generation, provide insights into the complex relationships between risk factors and CVD, and highlight the importance of considering multiple exposures when examining CVD outcomes.PMID:35605674 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2022.113463

Effects of nonpersistence with medication on outcomes in high-risk patients with cardiovascular disease
Background: The impact of nonpersistence on events and of events on persistence is unclear. We studied the effects of nonpersistence on outcomes and events on nonadherence in a randomized placebo controlled trial in 40 countries on 25,620 patients.Methods: In the ONgoing Telmisartan Alone and in combination with Ramipril Global Endpoint Trial (ONTARGET), persistent patients (n = 20,991) were compared with individuals who had permanently stopped study medications (n = 4,629).Results: Older age, female gender, less physical activity, less education, and history of stroke/transient ischemic attack, depression, and diabetes we...

Addressing barriers to optimal oral anticoagulation use and persistence among patients with atrial fibrillation: Proceedings, Washington, DC, December 3-4, 2012
Approximately half of patients with atrial fibrillation and with risk factors for stroke are not treated with oral anticoagulation (OAC), whether it be with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or novel OACs (NOACs); and of those treated, many discontinue treatment. Leaders from academia, government, industry, and professional societies convened in Washington, DC, on December 3-4, 2012, to identify barriers to optimal OAC use and adherence and to generate potential solutions. Participants identified a broad range of barriers, including knowledge gaps about stroke risk and the relative risks and benefits of anticoagulant therapies;...

How are patients with atrial fibrillation approached and informed about their risk profile and available therapies in Europe? Results of the European Heart Rhythm Association Survey
This European Heart Rhythm (EHRA) Scientific Initiatives Committee EP Wire Survey aimed at exploring the common practices in approaching patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and informing them about their risk profiles and available therapies in Europe. In the majority of 53 responding centres, patients were seen by cardiologists (86.8%) or arrhythmologists (64.2%). First- and follow-up visits most commonly lasted 21–30 and 11–20 min (41.5 and 69.8% of centres, respectively). In most centres (80.2%) stroke and bleeding risk had the highest priority for discussion with AF patients; 50.9% of centres had a struc...

Understanding Population Cardiovascular Health: Harnessing the Power of Electronic Health Records.
Abstract In 2004 the American Heart Association (AHA) set forth an ambitious strategic goal for 2010 to 1) reduce death from coronary heart disease and stroke by 25%, 2) reduce the prevalence of smoking, high cholesterol, uncontrolled hypertension, and physical inactivity by 25%, and 3) to stop increases in obesity and diabetes relative to rates in 1999. Having achieved or exceeded goals 1 and 2 by 2008 through a number of collaborative efforts, including public education, practice guidelines and quality improvement initiatives, in 2009, the AHA reframed its focus more broadly to one of achieving increased levels ...

Educational inequality in cardiovascular disease depends on diagnosis: A nationwide register based study from Denmark
Conclusion The degree of educational inequality in cardiovascular diseases depends on the diagnosis, with the highest inequality in ischaemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke. Small differences were found between men and women.

Association of ankle-brachial index with cognitive decline in patients with lacunar infarction
This study aimed to investigate the relationship of ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) with cognitive function in patients with lacunar infarction. We included records of consecutive patients with their first-ever acute stroke and a diagnosis of lacunar infarction through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2018. We excluded patients diagnosed with dementia, including strategic single-infarct dementia, before or after stroke onset. Moreover, we excluded patients with one or more microbleeds, severe white matter lesions, or severe medial temporal...

GARFIELD-AF: risk profiles, treatment patterns and 2-year outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH) compared to 32 countries in other regions worldwide
ConclusionsSimilarities and dissimilarities in AF management and clinical outcomes are seen in DACH and ORW. The increased use of NOAC was associated with a mismatch of risk-adapted anticoagulation (over-and-undertreatment) in DACH. Suboptimal control of INR requires educational activities in both regional groups. Higher rates of cardiovascular death in DACH may reflect the higher risk profile of these patients and lower rates of non-haemorrhagic stroke could be associated with increased NOAC use.Graphical abstract
