Association of carbohydrate and saturated fat intake with cardiovascular disease and mortality in Australian women
Conclusions In middle-aged Australian women, moderate carbohydrate intake (41.0%–44.3% of TEI) was associated with the lowest risk of CVD, without an effect on total mortality. Increasing saturated fat intake was not associated with CVD or mortality and instead correlated with lower rates of diabetes, hypertension and obesity.

Lipoprotein(a) levels in a global population with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
CONCLUSIONS: Globally, Lp(a) is measured in a small minority of patients with ASCVD and is highest in black, younger and female patients. More than 25% of patients had levels exceeding the established threshold for increased cardiovascular risk, approximately 50 mg/dL or 125 nmol/L.PMID:36252994 | DOI:10.1136/openhrt-2022-002060

Emergent readmission and long-term mortality risk after incident atrial fibrillation hospitalisation
Conclusion This study highlights the large burden of unplanned all-cause and cardiovascular-specific readmissions within 2 years after being hospitalised for incident AF and their associated adverse impact on mortality. Concomitant comorbidities are independently associated with unplanned hospitalisations and mortality, which supports integrated multidisciplinary management of comorbidities, along with AF-targeted treatments, to improve long-term outcomes in patients with AF.

Rheumatic Heart Disease Echocardiogram Screening by Nonexperts: A Review
Rheumatic Heart Disease occurs when heart valves are damaged by Rheumatic Fever. Young First Nations Australians aged between 5 –14 years are at high risk of developing Rheumatic Fever. Complications of Rheumatic Heart Disease include atrial fibrillation, endocarditis, heart failure, and stroke. Early disease detection is essential as Acute Rheumatic Fever is easily treatable if detected early.

Effect of Concomitant Cardiac Arrest on Outcomes in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome-Related Cardiogenic Shock
Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)-related cardiogenic shock (CS) with or without concomitant CA may have disparate prognoses. We compared clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with CS secondary to ACS with and without cardiac arrest (CA). Between 2014 and 2020, 1,573 patients with ACS-related CS with or without CA who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention enrolled in a multicenter Australian registry were analyzed. Primary outcome was 30-day major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (composite of mortality, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, target vessel revascularization and stroke).
