Meta-Analysis Comparing Outcomes of Drug Eluting Stents Versus Single and Multiarterial Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Relative benefits of coronary artery bypass (CABG) using single and multiple arterial grafting (SAG, MAG) and drug eluting stent (DES) in multivessel coronary disease remain uncertain. We compared SAG, MAG, and DES in a pairwise and network meta-analysis. Randomized trials and adjusted observational studies comparing CABG versus DES were included (primary end point: long-term mortality; secondary end points: operative mortality, perioperative stroke, and follow-up repeated revascularization [RR]).

Relation of Elevated Resting Heart Rate in Mid-Life to Cognitive Decline Over 20-years (from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities ARIC Study)
Resting heart rate (RHR) is independently associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We determined whether RHR, measured in mid-life, is also associated with cognitive decline. We studied 13,720 middle-aged white and black ARIC participants without a prior history of stroke or atrial fibrillation. RHR was obtained from a 12-lead resting electrocardiogram at the baseline visit (1990-1992) and categorized into groups as

Relation of Platelet Parameters with Incident Cardiovascular Disease (The Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort Study)
This study aimed to investigate the above-mentioned prospective relations in the middle-aged and older Chinese populations based on the Dongfeng-Tongji (DFTJ) cohort. We included 31,751 participants who were free of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, cancer, or severely abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) at baseline.

Comparison of In-hospital Outcomes of Patients With-vs-Without Ischemic Cardiomyopathy Undergoing Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of heart failure (HF) etiology (ischemic cardiomyopathy (IC) vs. non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NIC)) on in-hospital outcomes in patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. We identified patients who underwent LVAD placement from 2011 to 2014. The primary endpoint was the effect of ICM on in-hospital mortality. Secondary endpoints included peri-procedural vascular complications requiring surgery, post-operative myocardial infarction, stroke and hemorrhage requiring transfusion.

Impact of Body Mass Index on Outcomes in the Edoxaban Versus Warfarin Therapy Groups in Patients Undergoing Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation (From ENSURE-AF)
In the EdoxabaN versus warfarin in subjectS UndeRgoing cardiovErsion of Atrial Fibrillation (ENSURE-AF) study (NCT 02072434), edoxaban showed similar efficacy and safety vs enoxaparin –warfarin in patients undergoing electrical cardioversion of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. In this ancillary analysis, we compared the primary efficacy (composite of stroke, systemic embolic event, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular [CV] death, overall study period) and safety (composite of major and clinically relevant nonmajor [CRNM] bleeding, on-treatment) endpoints in relation to body mass index (BMI;

Relation of Body-Mass Index to Risk of Death or Stroke Among Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Obesity and overweight have been associated with better clinical outcomes in different populations with a diverse spectrum of cardiovascular disease ( “obesity paradox”). However, conflicting data exist about the relation between BMI and outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) with clinical outcomes in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing TAVI. The study cohort included 379 consecutive patients with symptomatic severe AS who underwent TAVI between March 2010 and February 2017 in 3 centers in East Asia.

Relation of Venous Thromboembolism Risk to Ischemic Stroke Risk in Hospitalized Patients with Cancer
Patients with cancer are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, the relationship of cancer type to the risk of arterial thrombosis in patients with high VTE risk has not been described. The goal of this study is to determine the rate of arterial thrombosis in patients with different types of solid tumors stratified by VTE risk. Using the 2012 National Inpatient Sample, we identified 373,789 hospitalizations involving patients ≥18 years associated with solid tumors, stratified by type.

Incidence, Predictors, Management, and Clinical Significance of New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
There is limited information on the incidence, management, and prognostic impact of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic valve stenosis (AS). In the prospective ASAN-TAVI registry, we evaluated a total of 347 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI between March 2010 and August 2017. The primary endpoint was a composite of stroke or systemic embolism at 12 months. The study subjects were categorized into 3 groups; pre-existing AF (50 patients), NOAF (31 patients), and non-AF (266 patients) group.

Sex Differences in Risk Factors for Incident Atrial Fibrillation (From the Reasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study)
We examined whether the sex differences in atrial fibrillation (AF) is related to difference in risk factors leading to AF or due to a differential impact of the same risk factors in 11,806 participants (55.2 % women) from the REGARDS study. Incident AF was ascertained by electrocardiograms and medical history at a follow-up examination. Backwards elimination logistic regression was used to identify AF risk factors in men and women, separately. Over a median follow-up of 9.0 years, 588 (11.1%) men and 428 (6.6%) women (p-value

Relationship between Statin Use and Outcomes in Patients Having Cardiac Arrest (From a Nationwide Cohort Study in Taiwan)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of statin use before cardiac arrest on outcomes in cardiac arrest patients. Medical records of 142,131 adult patients who experienced non-traumatic cardiac arrest and were resuscitated between 2004 and 2011 were analyzed.

Relation of Cardiovascular Events and Deaths to Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Level Among Statin-Treated Patients with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
This study describes subsequent cardiovascular events and deaths by low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) receiving moderate to high-intensity statins. Olmsted County, MN residents with index ASCVD (myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary revascularization, ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack) occurring between 2005-2012 were identified, and those with a prescription for a moderate- or high-intensity statin and an LDL-C measurement in the 90 days after index were included.

Cardiovascular Outcomes and All-cause Mortality Following Measurement of Endogenous Testosterone Levels
We examined whether low total testosterone levels are associated with stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic), myocardial infarction (MI), venous thromboembolism (VTE), and all-cause mortality among adult men. We conducted a cohort study in the Central Denmark Region (20002015). We included all men with a first-ever laboratory testosterone result and computed the 5-year risks of cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality.
