Diabetes Mellitus and Prevention of Late Myocardial Infarction After Coronary Stenting in the Randomized Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Study.
CONCLUSIONS: -In patients with DM, continued thienopyridine beyond 1-year after coronary stenting is associated with reduced risk of MI, although this benefit is attenuated when compared with patients without DM.

Vorapaxar in the secondary prevention of atherothrombosis.
Authors: Tantry US, Liu F, Chen G, Gurbel PA Abstract Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin, a platelet cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitor and P2Y12 receptor blockers, remains the major drug strategy to prevent ischemic event occurrence in patients with acute coronary syndromes and in patients undergoing coronary stenting, but there some limitations that can be overcome by targeting novel targets. Unlike direct thrombin inhibitors that bind directly to thrombin, targeting the platelet thrombin receptor, protease activated receptor (PAR)-1, may offer a better choice for the attenuation of atherosclerosis progression, throm...

STEMI vs NSTEACS management trends in non-invasive hospital
Conclusion NSTEACS patients in western province of KSA present at an older age are mostly males and have higher prevalence of hypertension and hyperlipidemia compared with STEMI patients. It is therefore important to identify patients with high-risk profile and put implement measures to reduce these factors.

Clinical and Economic Implications of Apixaban Versus Aspirin in the Low-Risk Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Anticoagulant treatment with apixaban versus aspirin in low-risk patients, as identified using CHADS2 or CHA2DS2–VASc, is projected to increase life expectancy and provide clinical benefits that are cost effective.

The impaired synthesis of insulin and its inability to inhibit platelet aggregation in cerebrovascular accident
Abstract Both ischemic stroke (IS) and hemorrhagic stroke (HS) are reported to occur due to thrombosis on the arteries of the brain. As diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for strokes and insulin is reported to prevent thrombosis, the role of insulin in IS and HS was investigated. Forty eight stroke victims (IS = 22, HS = 26) and equal number of aged and sex matched normal volunteers participated in the study. Nitric oxide was determined by methemoglobin method. Insulin and Dermcidin isoform-2 (DCN2) level was determined by ELISA by using insulin and dermcidin antibody. Insulin binding to the platelet membrane...

Long-term ticagrelor therapy in patients with prior myocardial infarction significantly reduces ischaemic events, albeit with increased bleeding
Commentary on: Bonaca MP, Bhatt DL, Cohen M, et al., PEGASUS-TIMI 54 Steering Committee and Investigators. Long-term use of ticagrelor in patients with prior myocardial infarction. N Engl J Med 2015;372:1791–800. Context Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor antagonist constitute the cornerstone of treatment in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with a recommended duration of 1 year.1 Nevertheless, high rates of atherothrombotic events, for which platelet activation is heavily implicated, still occur at later stages.2 Therefore, a longer duration of DAPT appears intuitive, a...

Net Clinical Benefit for Oral Anticoagulation, Aspirin, or No Therapy in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients With 1 Additional Risk Factor of the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc Score (Beyond Sex)
Whether to anticoagulate patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and 1 stroke risk factor (i.e., CHA2DS2-VASc [congestive heart failure, hypertension, age>75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke, vascular disease, age 65–75 years, and female sex] score = 1 in men, or 2 in women) is controversial, but many studies report ischemic stroke rates of>1.5% per year, even with 1 stroke risk factor (1). We estimated the net clinical benefit (NCB) of aspirin or warfarin compared with no antithrombotic therapy among such patients on the basis of a nationwide Danish cohort, with incident AF diagnosed between 1998 and 2012 (2). Men w...

Prevention of Stroke in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Opinion statement Recognizing that systemic inflammation is a major contributor to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including stroke, in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) serves as the basis for prevention strategies for cerebrovascular disease in RA. In addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors, recognize that RA may be an independent risk factor for cerebrovascular accident (CVA). The risk of CVD should be assessed in each patient with RA, utilizing modified risk score calculators. Careful monitoring and control of systemic inflammation should be undertaken in conjunction with assessing eac...

Crossed Subcortical Aphasia (P1.048)
CONCLUSIONS: This patient is a rare case in which right-sided subcortical damage results in aphasia. The most comprehensive evidence on language lateralization comes from functional studies of healthy adults that differ in their degree of handedness. It appears that the degree of right-handedness correlates, with the degree of left hemisphere language dominance.Disclosure: Dr. Murray has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kase has nothing to disclose.

Oral Anticoagulation, Aspirin, or No Therapy in Patients With Nonvalvular AF With 0 or 1 Stroke Risk Factor Based on the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc Score
ConclusionsLow-risk patients (CHA2DS2-VASc = 0 [male], 1 [female]) have a truly low risk for stroke and bleeding. With 1 additional stroke risk factor (CHA2DS2-VASc = 1 [male], = 2 [female]), there was a significant increase in event rates (particularly mortality) if nonanticoagulated.

Incidence, Trends, and Predictors of Ischemic Stroke 1 Year After an Acute Myocardial Infarction Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The risk of ischemic stroke within a year after myocardial infarction is substantial but has clearly been reduced during the studied time period. The major predictive factors found to correlate well with previous investigations. Reperfusion treatment, thrombocyte aggregation inhibition, and lipid lowering are the main contributors to the observed risk reduction.
