Erectile Dysfunction in Individuals with Neurologic Disability: A Hospital-based Cross-sectional Study
Conclusion: The occurence of erectile dysfunction is significantly more prevalent among neurologically disabled men, particularly those with lesions below S2–S4, than among men without neurologic disability. Considering the prevalence of erectile dysfunction among neurologically disabled men, sexual functioning should be regularly evaluated during acute and long-term rehabilitation, and any existing sexual dysfunction should be addressed in the treatment plan. Introduction Penile erection is a neurovascular event characterized by the dilation of arteries that cause the corpora cavernosa and corpora spongiosum of the peni...

Fitness and cognition in the elderly: The Austrian Stroke Prevention Study
Conclusions: Higher Vo2max is associated with better global cognitive function and with better performance in the cognitive domains of memory, executive function, and motor skills in the middle-aged and elderly. The association is not mediated by the presence of white matter lesions, lacunes, and brain atrophy.

STEMI vs NSTEACS management trends in non-invasive hospital
Conclusion NSTEACS patients in western province of KSA present at an older age are mostly males and have higher prevalence of hypertension and hyperlipidemia compared with STEMI patients. It is therefore important to identify patients with high-risk profile and put implement measures to reduce these factors.

Prognostic and symptomatic benefits with ivabradine: lessons from the SHIFT trial
Ivabradine, a funny current (If) inhibitor, has been developed for symptomatic therapy of angina and in chronic heart failure (CHF) with low ejection fraction. A large outcome trial, SHIFT (Systolic Heart Failure Treatment with the If inhibitor ivabradine trial), was conducted in patients with EF ≤ 35% in sinus rhythm and increased heart rate ≥70 b.p.m. It demonstrated that the addition of this new compound to the best possible contemporary therapy, including beta-blockers, was associated with a 18% relative risk reduction in the occurrence of cardiovascular mortality or hospitalization for worsening heart failure (H...

Clinical characteristics, management and 1-year outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome in Iran: the Iranian Project for Assessment of Coronary Events 2 (IPACE2)
Conclusions Our study showed that the composition of Iranian patients with ACS regarding the type of ACS is similar to that in developed European countries and is unlike that in developing countries of the Middle East and Africa. We found that our patients with ACS are treated with high levels of adherence to guideline-recommended in-hospital medications.

Cardiovascular Events of Electrical Cardioversion Under Optimal Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation: The Multicenter Analysis.
CONCLUSION: Cardioversion appears as a safe procedure with a reasonably acceptable cardiovascular event rate. However, to prevent the cardiovascular events, several risk factors should be considered before cardioversion. PMID: 26446636 [PubMed - in process]

Socioeconomic factors and use of secondary preventive therapies for cardiovascular diseases in South Asia: The PURE study
Conclusion The use of secondary preventive drug therapies in patients with known CHD or stroke in South Asia is low with over 80% receiving none of the effective drug treatments. Low household wealth is the most important determinant.

Antiplatelet therapy in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: does it improve cardiovascular outcomes during index event?
Abstract Plasma catecholamines may play an important role in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) pathophysiology. Patients with disproportionately high catecholamine responses to stressful events are prone to worse clinical outcomes. Catecholamines stimulate platelet activation and, therefore, may determine the clinical presentation and outcomes of TCM. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive study TCM patients admitted between 2003 and 2013 to Einstein Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA and Danbury Hospital, Danbury, CT, USA. A total of 206 patients met Modified Mayo TCM criteria. Using a multiple logistic model,...

New therapy in cardioprotection
Purpose of review: An increasing number of patients are presenting for major surgery with cardiovascular comorbidities. Evidence of myocardial injury was found in 8% of all noncardiac surgery patients older than 45 years and was associated with adverse outcome. For this reason, there has been a lot of interest in finding and evaluating effective cardioprotective interventions. Recent findings: Current evidence suggests that statins, volatile anesthetic agents, and propofol are cardioprotective. Beta blockers reduce myocardial injury, but the resultant hypotension may contribute to the increased all-cause mortality and stro...

Trends in Antihypertensive Medication Use and Blood Pressure Control Among Adults With Hypertension in Germany.
CONCLUSIONS: Increased and improved antihypertensive use might be a main contributor to the decrease in BP observed in Germany in the last decade. However, there are still socio-demographic and health disparities in hypertension treatment and control. PMID: 25968124 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Lower heart rate in the early postoperative period does not correlate with long-term outcomes after repair of type A acute aortic dissection
Abstract Little evidence exists regarding the need for a reduction in postoperative heart rate after repair of type A acute aortic dissection. This single-center retrospective study was conducted to determine if lower heart rate during the early postoperative phase is associated with improved long-term outcomes after surgery for patients with type A acute aortic dissection. We reviewed 434 patients who underwent aortic repair between 1990 and 2011. Based on the average heart rate on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, and 7, 434 patients were divided into four groups, less than 70, 70–79, 80–89, and greater than ...
