Does hypoglycaemia increase the risk of cardiovascular events? A report from the ORIGIN trial
Conclusion Severe hypoglycaemia is associated with an increased risk for CV outcomes in people at high CV risk and dysglycaemia. Although allocation to insulin glargine vs. standard care was associated with an increased risk of severe and non-severe hypoglycaemia, the relative risk of CV outcomes with hypoglycaemia was lower with insulin glargine-based glucose-lowering therapy than with the standard glycaemic control. Trial Registration (ORIGIN ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT00069784).

Urinary excretion of kynurenine and tryptophan, cardiovascular events, and mortality after elective coronary angiography
Conclusion A novel urinary inflammation marker, KTR, is strongly associated with adverse prognosis in patients with suspected stable CAD. Underlying pathomechanisms should be further elucidated.

New oral anticoagulants in addition to single or dual antiplatelet therapy after an acute coronary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion In patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome, the addition of a new oral anticoagulant to antiplatelet therapy results in a modest reduction in cardiovascular events but a substantial increase in bleeding, most pronounced when new oral anticoagulants are combined with dual antiplatelet therapy.

Dietary intake of saturated fatty acids and incident stroke and coronary heart disease in Japanese communities: the JPHC Study
Conclusions In this Japanese population, SFAs intake was inversely associated with deep intraparenchymal haemorrhage and lacunar infarction and positively associated with myocardial infarction.

Resistant hypertension: a frequent and ominous finding among hypertensive patients with atherothrombosis
Conclusion The presence of resistant hypertension identifies a subgroup of patients with hypertension and atherothrombosis who are at heightened risk for adverse long-term outcomes.

The relationship between glycaemic variability and cardiovascular complications in patients with acute myocardial infarction and type 2 diabetes: a report from the DIGAMI 2 trial
Conclusion The 1-year risk for death, reinfarction, or stroke did not relate to glycaemic variability in T2DM patients with AMI treated with insulin infusion.

Cost-effectiveness of treating acute coronary syndrome patients with ticagrelor for 12 months: results from the PLATO study
Conclusion Based on clinical and health-economic evidence from the PLATO study, treating ACS patients with ticagrelor for 12 months is associated with a cost per QALY below generally accepted thresholds for cost-effectiveness. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00391872.
