Mediterranean-style diet and intracranial large artery stenosis in the Northern Manhattan Study
CONCLUSION: In this stroke-free subsample, we did not find a significant association between MeDi and ICAS. We may have been limited by statistical power.PMID:37634256 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2023.107252

Alcohol Consumption and Cerebral Small- and Large-Vessel Diseases: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest a positive association of alcohol consumption with risk of cerebral SVDs and its inverse association with risk of large-vessel disease through intermediaries, such as hypertension or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. These findings provide insight into potential causal mechanisms linking alcohol consumption with stroke risk.PMID:37612092 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64222

State-of-the-Art Review: Alcohol Septal Ablation in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
The objective of this review is to provide the reader with a synopsis of percutaneous alcohol septal ablation (ASA) as an effective and time-honored treatment modality in patients with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).Recent findingsPatients who have medically refractory symptoms of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction may benefit from septal reduction therapy including septal myectomy or ASA. ASA involves infusion of alcohol into an epicardial septal artery supplying the basal septum to generate an iatrogenic infarction and, thus, reduce outflow tract obstruction due to targeted hypo...

Is Improving Educational Attainment Key to Reducing the Burden Because of Cardiovascular Diseases?
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) impose a substantial global public health burden, accounting for significant mortality and disability worldwide, particularly because of conditions like coronary heart disease and stroke. The economic consequences of CVDs, including healthcare expenses, decreased productivity, and diminished quality of life, further contribute to this burden. Lifestyle factors such as unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption are closely associated with CVDs.

Elevated Aminotransferase Levels and Intracerebral Hemorrhage Deaths in a General Japanese Population
Int Heart J. 2023;64(4):678-683. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-027.ABSTRACTAlthough chronic liver disease has been associated with cardiovascular disease, to which metabolic syndrome might be related, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) generally has not been focused. Associations of chronic liver disease assessed by aspartate (AST) and alanine (ALT) aminotransferase levels with ICH deaths were examined using 15,952 subjects without a history of cardiovascular disease who underwent annual health checkups in 1997 in Japan. Proportional hazards regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, current smoking, diabetes mellitus, dri...
