Retrospective cohort study investigating synergism of air pollution and corticosteroid exposure in promoting cardiovascular and thromboembolic events in older adults
Conclusion PM2.5 and systemic corticosteroid use were independently associated with increases in CTE hospitalisations. We also found evidence of significant additive interactions between the two exposures for HF and MI/ACSs suggesting synergy between these two exposures.

Controversial cardiovascular and hematologic comorbidities in atopic dermatitis
AbstractAtopic dermatitis ’ (AD) systemic involvement is wide-reaching. The cardiovascular and hematological comorbidities of AD have potential for considerable economic and physical burden; however, data surrounding the association between these comorbidities and AD is controversial. This review discusses the cardiovascul ar and hematological comorbidities of AD, detailing the conflicting evidence, pathophysiology, and connection to medications. A PubMed search was conducted for studies detailing the association of cardiovascular and hematological comorbidities with AD, providing approximately 30 results. Additional sea...

The effects of medications for treating COPD and allied conditions on stroke: a population-based cohort study
This study aimed to investigate the clinical factors of stroke risk in COPD and allied conditions patients and associations between medications for treating COPD and allied conditions. The population-based study cohort comprised 24,173 patients diagnosed with COPD and allied conditions between 2000 and 2013, and 24,170 selected matched patients without COPD comprised the comparison cohort from a nationwide database. Cox-proportional hazard regression was performed to determine the impact of medical therapies, comorbidities, and other clinical factors on stroke risk. Of the 48,343 included patients, 1394 (2.9%) experienced ...

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure in a Patient with Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhaging Associated with Anticoagulant Therapy and Atrial Fibrillation: A Case Report
Intern Med. 2021 Nov 27. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.8551-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiffuse alveolar hemorrhaging (DAH) due to oral anticoagulation (OAC) is a life-threatening condition that leads to severe respiratory failure. There is a clinical dilemma in that OAC-induced DAH often forces the discontinuation of OAC therapy and the administration of high-dose corticosteroids, which increases the risk of stroke and cardiovascular events. We herein report the first case of OAC-induced DAH and atrial fibrillation (AF) in a patient who completely discontinued OAC therapy and high-dose corticosteroids after experien...

The Use of Corticosteroids for Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Adults
AbstractPurpose of ReviewCardiopulmonary bypass for on-pump cardiac surgery induces a systemic inflammation that may contribute to postoperative major complications. To reduce this inflammatory response in patients undergoing heart surgery, the perioperative use of anti-inflammatory corticosteroids has long been recommended to improve clinical outcomes. However, the efficacy and safety of steroids remain still unclear.Recent FindingsWe reviewed recent published literature, including the large clinical trials DECS and SIRS and the two meta-analysis by Dvirnik et al. (2018) and Ng et al. (2020), on mortality and major postop...

Effects of corticosteroids on new-onset atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Conclusion: Our review suggests that the efficacy of corticosteroid might be beneficial to POAF development in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The strength of this association remains uncertain because of statistical and clinical heterogeneity among the included studies.

Management of postoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery
This article will review the available evidence on the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery. Using this knowledge, we propose a conceptual framework on the management of patients with POAF during various phases after cardiac surgery. Recent findings: Perioperative β-blockade is the cornerstone in preventing POAF after cardiac surgery. Results from randomized trials do not support routine use of colchicine or corticosteroids to prevent POAF. There is no study examining the impact of rate versus rhythm control on ‘hard’ clinical outcomes such as mortality or stroke in the cardiac surgic...
