The USPSTF Recommendation Statement About Screening Asymptomatic Adults for Carotid Stenosis
To the Editor The USPSTF recommends against screening asymptomatic adults for carotid stenosis. However, we believe that detection of asymptomatic carotid stenosis might encourage treatment adherence to pharmacological —and nonpharmacological—primary prevention strategies. Demonstration of an objective lesion in the carotid artery may increase patient awareness of the presence of a risk factor for stroke. One article demonstrated that a higher rate of carotid stenosis detection was associated with better adher ence to statin and aspirin treatment in asymptomatic patients with vascular risk factors. A letter commenting ...

Main determinants of physician-driven amiodarone discontinuation in clinical practice
ConclusionStudy showed that within the first two years of treatment, despite persistent indication, amiodarone was discontinued in 1 out of 10 patients in the absence of side effects, mostly in younger patients with less comorbidities, which may not always be justified. There is a need for qualitative research to elucidate the reasons for such physicians ’ decisions.

A Combination of Atorvastatin and Aspirin Enhances the Pro-Regenerative Interactions of Marrow Stromal Cells and Stroke-Derived Monocytes In Vitro
Conclusion: Atorvastatin, alone and in combination with aspirin can promote anti-inflammatory effect by modulating the secretome profile of Mo and MSCs. Our results suggest that stroke trials involving the use of intravenous MSCs should consider the effect of aspirin and atorvastatin, both of which are administered to the majority of hospitalized ischemic stroke patients.

Millard-Gubler Syndrome Associated with Cerebellar Ataxia in a Patient with Isolated Paramedian Pontine Infarction – A Rarely Observed Combination with a Benign Prognosis: A Case Report
We report the case of a 55-year-old male patient having presented to the Yehuleshet Specialty Clinic 6 years back with sudden-onset dysarthria and appendicular ataxia of 10 days duration. He reported having right hemibody weakness and blurred vision, which have significantly improved since then. He had a history of smoking of 30 pack-years. However, he quit smoking 8 years ago. There was no history of prior stroke, transient ischemic attack, diabetes, hypertension, head trauma, or dyslipidemia. On examination, he had horizontal left gaze palsy with horizontal nystagmus suggesting left-sided 6th cranial nerve palsy. He had ...

Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: Unique Opportunities for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Women: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Circulation. 2021 Mar 29:CIR0000000000000961. doi: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000000961. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis statement summarizes evidence that adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preterm delivery, gestational diabetes, small-for-gestational-age delivery, placental abruption, and pregnancy loss increase a woman's risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and of developing subsequent CVD (including fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and heart failure). This statement highlights the importance of recognizing APOs...

Prevalence of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease Among Baltimore City Adults in the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity Across the Life Span (HANDLS) Study
ConclusionsAmong an urban-dwelling population of adults, the use of secondary prevention of CVD was low, with lower aspirin and combination GDMT for Black participants with CAD. Efforts to improve GDMT use at the patient and provider levels may be needed to improve morbidity and mortality and reduce disparities in CVD.

Trends in optimal medical therapy at discharge and clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome in Thailand.
CONCLUSIONS: The five-drugs comprising OMT were associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality and MACE in patients with ACS. Nevertheless, OMT prescribing remains underused and could be enhanced in the real-world setting. PMID: 33455848 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) – Still to be Considered in the Presence of Vascular Risk Factors
We report a 46-year-old male with a 9 and 3-month history of progressive unilateral lower limb weakness and dysarthria, respectively. He had a history of diabetes mellitus but no hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or smoking history. Both parents had a stroke at the age of 65 years. Neurological examination was significant for moderate dysarthria and reduced right upper limb dexterity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed extensive white matter disease, lacunar infarcts, and a few microhemorrhages. Electron microscopy of his skin biopsy showed electron-dense deposits of extracellular osmiophilic granular mater...

Temporal Changes in Secondary Prevention and Cardiovascular Outcomes after Revascularization for Peripheral Arterial Disease in Denmark: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
Conclusions: Medical prevention of adverse events has increased considerably over time in patients that underwent revascularization for symptomatic PAD. This increase was accompanied by reductions in all adverse outcomes, except major amputations. PMID: 33300375 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy and safety of Shexiang Baoxin pill (MUSKARDIA) in patients with stable coronary artery disease: a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase IV randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSIONS: As an add-on to OMT, MUSKARDIA is safe and significantly reduces angina frequency in patients with stable CAD. Moreover, the use of MUSKARDIA is associated with a trend toward reduced MACEs in patients with stable CAD. The results suggest that MUSKARDIA can be used to manage patients with CAD.

Healthy People Shouldn ’ t Take Daily Aspirin To Prevent Heart Disease, Review Finds
(CNN) — Still taking a daily aspirin to ward off heart attacks? You might want to think again, according to a new review. Aspirin is still one of the most commonly used medications in the world, even though it’s no longer recommended as a preventative by many health authorities. There is no evidence that low-dose aspirin — less than 325 milligrams a day — should be taken by most adults in good cardiovascular health, according to a new review of existing research that published Wednesday in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. The review, which focused on the risks and benefits of low-dose daily asp...
