1 Ventricular assist devices: developments in asia and global outlook for the next 10 years
The advent of left ventricular assist systems to support patients with advanced-stage heart failure has been a 50 year odyssey, now available broadly to such patients.1 Engineering advances have ushered in an era of small, durable devices that can be fully implanted within the chest. Yet, haemocompatibility related adverse events, which emanate from the interaction between the device and the patient they support are manifest principally in increased stroke rates, de novo device thrombosis requiring replacement and in gastrointestinal bleeding (a peculiar adverse event resulting from the unnatural physiology of continuous f...

Percutaneous coronary intervention in patients hospitalized for non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction and the risk of postdischarge ischemic stroke at 6-month, 1-year, and 3-year follow-ups
This study investigated the association of PCI on the risk of postdischarge IS in patients hospitalized for NSTEMI at different period follow-ups. A population-based cohort study was conducted using data from Taiwan ’s National Health Insurance Research Database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to select 6079 pairs of the patients with NSTEMI treated invasively by PCI (received PCI during hospitalization) and initial conservative strategy (did not receive PCI during hospitalization) with similar base line characteristics for evaluation. After adjustment for patients’ clinical variables and the duration of dual...

Relationship between Statin Use and Outcomes in Patients Having Cardiac Arrest (From a Nationwide Cohort Study in Taiwan)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of statin use before cardiac arrest on outcomes in cardiac arrest patients. Medical records of 142,131 adult patients who experienced non-traumatic cardiac arrest and were resuscitated between 2004 and 2011 were analyzed.

Antithrombotic Treatment May Reduce Mortality Among New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Gray-Zone Risk of Stroke.
This study aimed to evaluate whether gray zone AF patients could benefit from reduced all-cause mortality under antithrombotic treatment. This was a longitudinal cohort study performed using data from claim forms submitted to the Taiwan Bureau of National Health Insurance from January 2000 to December 2011. The new-onset AF patients consisted of a gray zone cohort with a total of 1237 patients being enrolled. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality between 2001 and 2011. Patients in the gray zone receiving antithrombotic treatment had a significant reduction in all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR): 0.21; 95% confiden...

Low Cholesterol Levels Increase Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage Rates After Intravenous Thrombolysis: A Multicenter Cohort Validation Study.
CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the strong association between reduced LDL-C and increased SICH, but not for functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis. LDL-C level of ＜130 mg/dL is supposed to a candidate marker for predicting SICH within 24-36 h.

Stroke risk and outcomes in epilepsy patients: Two retrospective cohort studies based on National Health Insurance in Taiwan
The risk of stroke in epileptic patients and the impact of epilepsy history on stroke patients ’ outcome have not been studied completely. Our purpose is to evaluate whether patients with epilepsy have increased risk of stroke or post-stroke mortality.

Renal dysfunction increases the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with acute ischemic stroke
This study investigated risks of short-term (1 and 3 months) and long-term (1-year) recurrent stroke associated with glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Propensity Score Matched Analysis of Mechanical vs. Bioprosthetic Valve Replacement in Patients With Previous Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with previous stroke, bioprosthetic valves had a lower incidence of complications connected to major bleeding than did the mechanical valves. Survival and stroke recurrence rates, however, did not differ between the 2 groups. We recommend bioprosthetic valves for patients >60 years or who have a history of GI bleeding.
