Renal physiology and kidney stones
Conclusions: The occurrence of a kidney stone is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events including AMI, death due to CHD,PTCA/CABG and stroke. These data suggest that people with a clinically recognized kidney stone should be followed more closely to evaluate for the possibility of subsequent cardiovascular events -- younger people and women.

Serum n-3 and n-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Profile as an Independent Predictor of Cardiovascular Events in Hemodialysis Patients
Conclusions: In hemodialysis patients, serum PUFA profile is unfavorably altered, and the low n-3-PUFA:AA ratios are independent predictors of CVD.

Determinants of Cardiovascular Risk in Haemodialysis Patients: Post hoc Analyses of the AURORA Study.
Conclusions : Although we identify CRP, low albumin, and high phosphorus as risk factors for MACE, lowering CRP did not influence MACE outcomes in our trial. Caution is therefore warranted in implying risk factors being causal in end-stage renal disease. PMID: 23392089 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cardiovascular risk in women attending primary care centres: baseline data of the EVA study
Conclusions Four in 10 women attending primary care centres had a high or very high cardiovascular risk. Percentages of classic cardiovascular risk factors were higher in HT than in NHT and increased significantly with age. The most commonly used drugs were renin–angiotensin system blockers and diuretics.

P113 * Clinical outcomes following double and triple valve surgery in Hong Kong
Conclusion: Patient requiring double and triple valve surgeries represent a heterogeneous and complex group of patients. They are a significant portion of patients undergoing valve surgery in our Institution. Outcomes in comparison to pre-operative risk scores and International Databases are satisfactory.
