Contemporary Meta-Analysis of Extended Direct Acting Oral Anticoagulant Thromboprophylaxis to Prevent Venous Thromboembolism Among Hospitalized Patients
There are over 36 million medical hospitalizations each year in the United States, with the majority being for acute medical illness.1 Cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, stroke and myocardial infarction are some of the most common indications for hospitalization and are additionally risk factors for venous thromboembolism.2 With over 900,000 patients suffering from venous thromboembolism each year, excess thrombosis causes a large medical and financial burden to patients and the health care system.

Sleep Duration and Cardiovascular Health in A Representative Community Population (from NHANES, 2005 to 2016)
We examined the relation between sleep duration and cardiovascular health among the general population in the United States from 2005 to 2016. We sought to investigate associations between sleep duration and the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), stroke, hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), and hyperlipidemia.

Deprescribing Antihypertensive Medications for Patients Aged 80 or Older
The treatment of hypertension in older adults is a major public health concern. Among the nearly 13 million persons in the United States aged 80 years or older, approximately 80% have high blood pressure (BP). Hypertension is the most potent modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in older adults and has been strongly associated with stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, kidney failure, and dementia. Thus, defining optimal strategies for managing elevated BP in older individuals is a high priority.

Hypertension Prevalence Among Adults Aged 18 and Over: United States, 2017-2018.
This report provides 2017-2018 U.S. hypertension prevalence estimates using the 2017 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association definition of hypertension (3) and new guidelines, which redefine hypertension by lowering the previous threshold levels of 140/90 mmHg to 130/80 mmHg (4). This change categorizes a greater percentage of people as having hypertension. PMID: 32487290 [PubMed - in process]

Medical Marijuana, Recreational Cannabis, and Cardiovascular Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
c Cardiovascular Sciences; Council on Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing; Council on Epidemiology and Prevention; Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health; and Council on Quality of Care and Outcomes Research Abstract Cannabis, or marijuana, has potential therapeutic and medicinal properties related to multiple compounds, particularly Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol. Over the past 25 years, attitudes toward cannabis have evolved rapidly, with expanding legalization of medical and recreational use at the state level in the United States and recreational use nationally in Canada and Uruguay. As a res...

Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases Among Older Breast Cancer Survivors in the United States: A Matched Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Women with a history of breast cancer were at increased risk of several CVDs, persisting into survivorship. Monitoring and managing cardiovascular risk throughout the long-term follow-up of women diagnosed with breast cancer should be a priority. PMID: 33401236 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Aortic Annular Enlargement in the Elderly: Short and Long-Term Outcomes in the United States.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest annular enlargement during SAVR is associated with increased short-term risk in a Medicare population. Survival curves crossed after three years, which may portend a benefit in select patients. However, annular enlargement is still only done in the minority of patients who are at risk for PPM.

Comorbidities Among Young Adults with Congenital Heart Defects: Results from the Congenital Heart Survey To Recognize Outcomes, Needs, and well-beinG - Arizona, Arkansas, and Metropolitan Atlanta, 2016-2019.
Abstract An estimated 1.4 million adults in the United States live with congenital heart defects (CHDs), yet their health outcomes are not well understood (1). Using self-reported, cross-sectional data from 1,482 respondents in the 2016-2019 Congenital Heart Survey To Recognize Outcomes, Needs, and well-beinG (CH STRONG) (2), CDC and academic partners estimated the prevalence of comorbidities among adults with CHDs aged 20-38 years born in Arizona (AZ), Arkansas (AR), and metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia (GA) compared with the general population (aged 20-38 years) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Su...

The Joint Association of Septicemia and Cerebrovascular Diseases with In-Hospital MortalityAmong Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Device in the United States
Currently, about 6.2 million adults in the US are reported to have heart failure, and this prevalence is expected to increase by 46% by 2030.1 The prognosis of advanced heart failure especially, advanced systolic heart failure, has improved tremendously with the advent of implantable mechanical circulatory support devices such as left ventricular assist device (LVAD) which is often used as a bridge to heart transplantation or as a destination therapy.2,3 Indeed, LVAD has improved the 1-year survival of patients with advanced heart disease from 52% to about 85%.

Antidiabetic drugs for preventing atrial fibrillation: A new revolution?
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are 2 of the great epidemics of our time. DM affects an estimated 8.5% of adults in the United States1 and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, including AF.2 AF in turn affects up to an estimated 12.5% of adults older than 65 years in the United States, decreases quality of life, and increases the risks of heart failure, stroke, and death.3,4 In 2015, the EMPA-REG OUTCOME (BI 10773 [Empagliflozin] Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients) randomized controlled trial (RCT), which assessed the sodium glucose c...

Analysis of the ESC/EACTS 2020 Atrial Fibrillation Guidelines with Perioperative Implications
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia worldwide with an individual lifetime risk of approximately 37% in the United States. Broadly defined as a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia with disorganized atrial activation, AF results in an increased risk of stroke, heart failure (HF), valvular heart disease (VHD), impaired quality of life and confers a significant burden to the health of individuals and society. AF in the perioperative setting is common and a significant source of perioperative morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation with Acupuncture
Conclusions: Acupuncture appears to be solely responsible for the conversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm in this case, as no β-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or antiarrhythmic medicines were administered before the return to sinus rhythm. The antiarrhythmic effect noted may be from centrally mediated autonomic effects or additional mechanisms. Further study will help to define the role of acupuncture in the management of acute arrhythmias.PMID:34239665 | PMC:PMC8236297 | DOI:10.1089/acu.2021.0022
