Safeguarding Against Stroke Risk by Statins
Whereas mighty prospective randomized trials —and meta-analyses of these—rightly command the data used to drive guidelines and daily clinical practice, careful long-term follow-up of closely monitored cohorts can generate crucial discoveries not anticipated in a 5-year study. As just one example, findings from lifelong follow-up in the Ame rican Framingham studies and the Whitehall cohorts in the United Kingdom show a strong association between blood pressure in middle years and dementia in later life.

Racial Differences in the Prevalence of Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation Among Hospitalized Patients
Atrial fibrillation (AF) will affect at least 12 million people in the United States by 2030. Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk for stroke and death and contributes to substantial costs and resource use.1 Considerable efforts are devoted to optimize AF management and mitigate its negative sequalae. However, the literature suggests the presence of racial disparities in the management of AF in the United States. Recent studies showed that direct oral anticoagulant, pulmonary vein isolation, and left atrial appendage closure are less commonly used among patients of non-White race.

Premature Atrial Contractions
Premature atrial contractions (PACs) can be seen in a broad spectrum of patients with and without heart disease and are often considered benign clinical phenomena. Recent studies have, however, shown an association between PACs and new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, and all-cause mortality.1,2 Simultaneously, reporting of the association between cardiac arrhythmias such as AF, atrial structural disease, and cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and dementia have expanded our understanding of the complex web of interaction between the heart and brain.

Dysphagia in Older Adults
Dysphagia, which is a geriatric syndrome affecting 10% to 33% of older adults, is commonly seen in older adults who have experienced a stroke or neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer or Parkinson disease. Patients diagnosed as having dysphagia can experience malnutrition, pneumonia, and dehydration. Patients can also experience increased rates of mortality and long-term care admission. Providers can identify the specific type of dysphagia for treatment in approximately 80% of patients by asking 5 questions in the patient ’s history: What happens when you try to swallow? Do you have trouble chewing? Do you have dif...

Vascular Event Risk After Herpes Zoster
We have read the article by Patterson et al1 published in the April 2019 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The authors performed an interesting study using propensity score to evaluate the cardiovascular disease risk during the prodromal period and aggregate period of herpes zoster (HZ) infection. The incidence rate calculated according to the time line before and after the index date also provided valuable information on the following cardiovascular risk. Evidence from large population-based studies suggests a transiently increased risk of stroke after HZ.

Strategies of Screening for Fabry Disease in Patients with Unexplained Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
In a recent article, Newman et al1 presented the results of screening for Fabry disease in 1192 adult patients with suspected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and compared the cost efficacy of α-galactosidase A (α-gal A) measurement with comprehensive galactosidase alpha gene (GLA) testing. The established prevalence of Fabry dise ase was 0.42% and comparable to that in the previous studies. Routine α-gal A measurement followed by confirmatory GLA testing is a well-accepted strategy of screening for Fabry disease in groups that are at risk, which include patients with unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy, end-stage ren...

Low-Sodium Intake: A Risk Factor for Stroke?
The recent findings by Kieneker et al1 represent the first convincing evidence that a low sodium intake might be linked to an increased cerebrovascular risk. The highly cited papers by a Canadian group2 already claimed to show a sort of J-shaped association between sodium intake and cardiovascular events, but there are limitations to these studies, as has been discussed previously.3

In reply —Low-Sodium Intake: A Risk Factor for Stroke?
We are grateful to Drs Musso and Dotto1 for the appraisal of our article on low urinary sodium excretion (UNaV) as an indicator of low sodium intake and increased risk of stroke.2 We agree that the mentioned earlier study by O ’Donnell and colleagues,3 although representative of various populations by including more than 100,000 participants from 17 countries, has some limitations. In particular, the assessment of sodium intake via a single spot urine sample is a major limitation. Actual measurement of 24-hour UNaV in m ultiple urine collections (to account for day-to-day variability), as we did in the Prevention of Rena...

In reply —Sauna Bathing and Healthy Sweating
We thank Eiser and Brooks for their comments about the health benefits of sauna bathing. Regular sauna bathing has some beneficial effects on blood pressure, cardiometabolic biomarkers, arterial compliance, and cardiovascular function.1 Our prospective studies have shown that higher frequency and duration of sauna bathing are related to a lower risk of cardiovascular mortality, sudden cardiac death, stroke, hypertension, pulmonary diseases, and dementia.1-3 The feelings of relaxation and promotion of mental health and well-being associated with sauna sessions might be linked to the increased production of circulating level...
