PPP1R12C Promotes Atrial Hypocontractility in Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with AF exhibit increased levels of PPP1R12C protein compared with controls. PPP1R12C overexpression in mice increases PP1c targeting to MLC2a and causes MLC2a dephosphorylation, which reduces atrial contractility and increases AF inducibility. These findings suggest that PP1 regulation of sarcomere function at MLC2a is a key determinant of atrial contractility in AF.PMID:37737016 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.322516

Linking biomarkers with healthy lifestyle outcomes after stroke: Supplementary Results of a 12-month Randomized Controlled Trial
Participation in a healthy lifestyle intervention such as the Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance –adapted for stroke (GLB-CVA) may reduce stroke burden. Identifying biomarkers associated with lifestyle changes may enhance an individualized approach to stroke recovery. We investigated metabolic biomarkers related to cardiovascular and neurological function in individuals with stroke in the GLB -CVA study and healthy (non-stroke) individuals.

Results of a 12-Month Randomized Controlled Trial Testing the Efficacy of the Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance (DPP-GLB) for People Post Stroke (GLB-CVA)
CONCLUSIONS: Engagement in the GLB-CVA can result in weight loss and improved health for individuals who are overweight or obese following stroke. Future efforts should examine effectiveness in real-world settings and focus on knowledge translation efforts.PMID:37542523 | DOI:10.1093/abm/kaad045

Caregiver experiences of social support following stroke
The burgeoning public health concern of caregiving influences lives of many people.1 Informal caregivers are loved ones who are not paid for services they provide to the person needing assistance,2 most often family members or close friends. In the U.S. there are over 53 million informal caregivers.3 Caregivers can support the care recipient in different activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).

Exclusive: For the First Time, New Tech Enables Paralyzed Man To Move and Feel Again
A cluster of researchers surround 45-year-old Keith Thomas, their eyes fixed on his right hand. “Open, open, open,” they urge, cheering when his fingers flutter out to mirror an image on a computer screen and again when they begin to curl back inward. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Thomas, who was paralyzed from the chest down after a diving accident in July 2020, is able to move his hand again thanks to a cutting-edge clinical trial led by researchers from Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in New York. Chad Bouton, a bioengineer at the Feinstein Institutes who...

Po-05-136 in stroke patients, do baseline electrocardiogram findings correlate with diagnostic findings on long-term monitoring with implantable loop recorder?
In patients with cryptogenic stroke, long-term monitoring is standard-of-care to exclude atrial tachyarrhythmias. Prior studies have not examined interatrial block (IAB) and other ECG markers paired with long-term continuous monitoring (the current gold standard) to predict likelihood of atrial fibrillation (AF) detection in stroke patients.

Reply: Stentless versus stented bioprosthetic root replacement in the medicare population and the wisdom of crowds
In our recent analysis of long-term outcomes of aortic root operations in the United States among Medicare beneficiaries using the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS-ACSD) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services linked data for patients aged 65 years or older undergoing elective aortic root surgery, we concluded that the bioprosthetic Bentall operation should be the procedure of choice in this population due to improved survival and lower stroke risk compared with the use of the mechanical Bentall, and lower risk of aortic valve reintervention compared with valve-sparing aortic root replacement.

The Impact of Longitudinal Data-Completeness of Electronic Health Record Data on the Prediction Performance of Clinical Risk Scores
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2023 Apr 7. doi: 10.1002/cpt.2901. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe impact of electronic health record (EHR) discontinuity, i.e., receiving care outside of a given EHR system, on EHR-based risk prediction is unknown. We aimed to assess the impact of EHR-continuity on performance of clinical risk scores. The study cohort consisted of patients aged ≥65 years with ≥1 EHR encounter in the two networks in Massachusetts (MA, 2007/1/1-2017/12/31, internal training and validation dataset), and one network in North Carolina (NC, 2007/1/1-2016/12/31, external validation dataset) that were linked with Medica...

Eliminating Medication Copayments for Low-income Older Adults at High Cardiovascular Risk: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: In low-income adults at high cardiovascular risk, eliminating copayments (average $35 a month) did not improve clinical outcomes or reduce healthcare costs, despite a modest improvement in adherence to medications.PMID:36871215 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.064188
