Edoxaban in atrial fibrillation patients with percutaneous coronary intervention by acute or chronic coronary syndrome presentation: a pre-specified analysis of the ENTRUST-AF PCI trial
Conclusions In patients with AF who underwent PCI, the edoxaban-based regimen, as compared with VKA-based regimen, provides consistent safety and similar efficacy for ischaemic events in patients with AF regardless of their clinical presentation.

Effect of alirocumab on major adverse cardiovascular events according to renal function in patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome: prespecified analysis from the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES randomized clinical trial
ConclusionsIn patients with recent ACS, alirocumab was associated with fewer cardiovascular events and deaths across the range of renal function studied, with larger relative risk reductions in those with eGFR > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Genetic predisposition to smoking in relation to 14 cardiovascular diseases
ConclusionThis MR study supports a causal association between smoking and a broad range of CVDs, in particular, coronary artery disease, heart failure, abdominal aortic aneurysm, ischaemic stroke, transient ischaemic attack, peripheral arterial disease, and arterial hypertension.

Supracardiac atherosclerosis in embolic stroke of undetermined source: the underestimated source
AbstractThe term ‘embolic stroke of undetermined source’ (ESUS) is used to describe patients with a non-lacunar ischaemic stroke without any identified embolic source from the heart or the arteries supplying the ischaemic territory, or any other apparent cause. When the ESUS concept was introduced, covert atrial fibrillation was conceived to be the main underlying cause in the majority of ESUS patients. Another important embolic source in ESUS is the atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid, vertebrobasilar, and intracranial arteries, or the aortic arch—collectively described as supracardiac atherosclerosis . There is e...

Effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists on major cardiovascular events in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without established cardiovascular disease: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Conclusion Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists significantly reduce MACE, CV and total mortality stroke, and hospitalization for HF, with a trend for reduction of MI, in patients with Type 2 DM with and without established CVD.

Bedtime hypertension treatment improves cardiovascular risk reduction: the Hygia Chronotherapy Trial
ConclusionRoutine ingestion by hypertensive patients of ≥1 prescribed BP-lowering medications at bedtime, as opposed to upon waking, results in improved ABP control (significantly enhanced decrease in asleep BP and increased sleep-time relative BP decline, i.e. BP dipping) and, most importantly, markedly diminished occurrence of major CVD events.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00741585.

Endomyocardial fibrosis and apical thrombus in patient with hypereosinophilia
A 76-year-old woman with a history of left semiovale ischaemic lacunar stroke was admitted to hospital for suspected acute coronary syndrome and transient ischaemic attack. The previous year, echocardiography had shown normal results. Neither coronarography nor encephalic computed tomography showed significant lesions. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple strokes in different arterial regions, with probable cardioembolic origin (Panel A).
