Medical Nutrition Education, Training, and Competencies to Advance Guideline-Based Diet Counseling by Physicians: A Science Advisory From the American Heart Association.
lar and Stroke Nursing; Council on Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention; and Stroke Council Abstract Growing scientific evidence of the benefits of heart-healthy dietary patterns and of the massive public health and economic burdens attributed to obesity and poor diet quality have triggered national calls to increase diet counseling in outpatients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or risk factors. However, despite evidence that physicians are willing to undertake this task and are viewed as credible sources of diet information, they engage patients in diet counseling at less than desirable rates and...

Health Literacy and Cardiovascular Disease: Fundamental Relevance to Primary and Secondary Prevention: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
The objectives of this American Heart Association scientific statement are (1) to summarize the relevance of health literacy to cardiovascular health; (2) to present the adverse associations of health literacy with cardiovascular risk factors, conditions, and treatments; (3) to suggest strategies that address barriers imposed by limited health literacy on the management and prevention of cardiovascular disease; (4) to demonstrate the contributions of health literacy to health disparities, given its association with social determinants of health; and (5) to propose future directions for how health literacy can be integrated...

Acute Myocardial Infarction in Severe Mental Health Illness: prevalence, clinical outcomes and process of care in United States hospitalizations.
ConclusionSchizophrenia and ‘other non-organic psychoses’ are the only SMI subtypes associated with adverse clinical outcomes after AMI. However, all patients with SMI were less likely to receive invasive management for AMI, with women and schizophrenia diagnosis being the strongest predictors of conservative management. A multidisciplinary approach between psychiatrists and cardiologists could improve outcomes of this high-risk population.

Cardiovascular Considerations in Caring for Pregnant Patients: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
diovascular and Stroke Nursing; and Stroke Council Abstract Cardio-obstetrics has emerged as an important multidisciplinary field that requires a team approach to the management of cardiovascular disease during pregnancy. Cardiac conditions during pregnancy include hypertensive disorders, hypercholesterolemia, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, valvular disease, thromboembolic disease, aortic disease, and cerebrovascular diseases. Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of pregnancy-related mortality in the United States. Advancing maternal age and preexisting comorbid conditions have contri...

A Composite Metric for Benchmarking Site Performance in TAVR: Results from the STS/ACC TVT Registry
Conclusions: There are substantial variations in the quality of TAVR care received in the United States, and 11% of sites were identified as providing care below the average level of performance. Further study is necessary to determine structural, process-related, and technical factors associated with high- and low-performing sites.PMID:33947202 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.120.051456

Opioid Use and Its Relationship to Cardiovascular Disease and Brain Health: A Presidential Advisory From the American Heart Association
Circulation. 2021 Aug 19:CIR0000000000001007. doi: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000001007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe misuse of opioids continues to be epidemic, resulting in dependency and a recent upsurge in drug overdoses that have contributed to a significant decrease in life expectancy in the United States. Moreover, recent data suggest that commonly used opioids for the management of pain may produce undesirable pharmacological actions and interfere with critical medications commonly used in cardiovascular disease and stroke; however, the impact on outcomes remains controversial. The American Heart Association developed...

Impact of Hospital Volume on Utilization and Outcomes of Sentinel Cerebral Protection System During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Stroke remains a serious complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with a significant impact on long-term morbidity and mortality. Although the etiology of strokes is multifactorial, most are a result of embolization of debris during the procedure.1 Multiple devices have emerged aiming to reduce the incidence of stroke through cerebral embolic protection. The Sentinel cerebral protection system (CPS) is the only Food and Drug Administration-approved device in the United States.
