Bariatric surgery may provide better protection than uvulopalatopharyngoplasty against major adverse cardiovascular events in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea
CONCLUSION: BS may provide greater protection against MACE than UPPP in Asian obese patients with OSA. Additional mechanistic research is needed to clarify differences between BS and UPPP in these patients.PMID:33423961 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2020.11.018

Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality in Patients with Diabetes and Coexisting Depression: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.
Conclusion: Coexisting depression in patients with diabetes has a deleterious effect on the development of CVD and mortality. We suggest that more attention should be given to patients with diabetes who present with depressive symptoms. PMID: 33297602 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Number of Social Determinants of Health and Fatal and Nonfatal Incident Coronary Heart Disease in the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study.
Conclusions: A greater burden of SDH was associated with a graded increase in risk of incident CHD, with greater magnitude and independent associations for fatal incident CHD. Counting the number of SDH may be a promising approach that could be incorporated into clinical care to identify individuals at high risk of CHD. PMID: 33269599 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Real-World Bleeding and Ischemic Events in Asian Patients on P2Y12-Inhibitors After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A National Claims Data Analysis
ConclusionsCDAPT was associated with clinical outcomes that were more favorable than those in TDAPT and comparable to those in PDAPT and drug persistence and adherence that were higher than in TDAPT or PDAPT. Clopidogrel may remain a viable first option for post-PCI DAPT in East Asian patients with a low thrombotic risk and a high bleeding tendency.

Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Antidepressant Users Within Patients With Ischemic Heart Diseases: A Nationwide Cohort Study
Conclusions Compared with antidepressant nonusers, use of antidepressants was not associated with occurrence of MACEs in patients with depression and IHD. Although the overall effect of antidepressants on the risk of MACE was neutral, careful monitoring of MACE development is recommended in high-dose SSRI users.

Efficacy and Safety of Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel in East Asian Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in East Asian patients with AMI. Between July 2013 and December 2015, patients with AMI prescribed with dual antiplatelet therapy were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. Using propensity score weighting, ticagrelor was compared with clopidogrel for the primary efficacy endpoint (a composite of all-cause death, MI, and stroke) and bleeding. A total of 32,442 patients with AMI (ticagrelor: 10,057; clopidogrel: 22,385) were eligible for analysis. After propensity score weighting, ticagrelor was comparab...

Mediation effect of herpes zoster derived by statin use on cardiovascular disease risk.
Conclusions: This study showed that statin use reduced CVD by 10%, but the protective effect of statin use against CVD was mitigated by approximately 10% through the development of HZ caused by statin use. PMID: 32550721 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
