Long-term Risk of Heart Failure and Other Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis: a Nationwide Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: During the first year after diagnosis, the rates of HF and other cardiovascular outcomes were higher in patients with GPA compared with the background population. However, after the first year, the rates of HF and other cardiovascular outcomes, except atrial fibrillation/flutter, were similar to those in the background population.PMID:34782450 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.210677

Assessment of patients with a suspected cardioembolic ischemic stroke. A national consensus statement
Conclusions: A primary neurological and neuroradiological assessment is mandatory and neurovascular specialists should manage the initiation of secondary prophylactic treatment. If a cardioembolic stroke is suspected, a dedicated cardiologist experienced in the management of cardioembolism should provide a tailored clinical and echocardiographic assessment.PMID:34470566 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2021.1973085

Joint mapping of cardiovascular diseases: comparing the geographic patterns in incident acute myocardial infarction, stroke and atrial fibrillation, a Danish register-based cohort study 2014 –15
Disease mapping aims at identifying geographic patterns in disease. This may provide a better understanding of disease aetiology and risk factors as well as enable targeted prevention and allocation of resourc...

Anticoagulation management of postoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery: A systematic review
ConclusionThere is wide practice variation in the uptake, timing of initiation, duration, and choice of OAC for POAF following cardiac surgery. The evidence is largely retrospective and insufficient to assess the efficacy of different OAC strategies. Further studies are warranted to guide clinical practice.

Geographical variation and clustering are found in atrial fibrillation beyond socioeconomic differences: a Danish cohort study, 1987 –2015
The prevalence and incidence rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) increase worldwide and AF is a risk factor for more adverse cardiovascular diseases including stroke. Approximately 44% of AF cases cannot be expla...

Discontinuation of oral anticoagulation and risk of stroke and death after ablation for typical atrial flutter: A nation-wide Danish cohort study
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is indicated for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) with a CHA2DS2-VASc score  ≥ 2 for men and ≥3 for women. This is regardless of successful catheter ablation for their arrhythmia. Studies have mainly focused on AF, and little is known regarding use of OAC in AFL patients following catheter ablation.

All-cause mortality and location of death in patients with established cardiovascular disease before, during, and after the COVID-19 lockdown: a Danish Nationwide Cohort Study
ConclusionsAmong patients with established cardiovascular disease, the in-hospital mortality rate was lower and out-of-hospital mortality rate higher during lockdown compared with the same period in the preceding year, irrespective of age and sex.

A medical history of arterial thrombosis is a strong predictor of post-operative myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with hip fractures —a nationwide cohort study
ConclusionMI and stroke after hip fractures are overlooked and serious complications. Persons with elevated risk can be identified at admission, based on their medical history.
