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...

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...

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.

Acute ischemic stroke: improving access to intravenous tissue plasminogen activator.
This article gives an overview of the recent approaches pursued to improve access to alteplase for acute ischemic stroke patients. Utilization of stroke systems of care, quality metrics, and quality improvement initiatives to improve alteplase treatment rates are discussed. The implementation of Telestroke networks to improve access and timely evaluation by a stroke specialist are also reviewed. Lastly, this review discusses the use of neuroimaging techniques to identify alteplase candidates in stroke of unknown symptom onset or beyond the 4.5-hour treatment window.Expert commentary: Expanding access to alteplase therapy f...

Trends in the Utilization of Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion in the United States
Stroke prevention remains a cornerstone in the management of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)1. Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is the main method of stroke prevention in NVAF worldwide. However,>50% of high-risk NVAF patients are not maintained on OAC due to comorbidities, frailty, bleeding complications, or non-compliance2. In 1996, Blackshear proposed Left atrial appendage exclusion (LAAE) as an alternative stroke prevention strategy in NVAF3. Because no randomized data were available to support the routine use of LAAE, its utilization remained initially limited to selected patients undergoing a concomitant cardiac surgery.
