Pneumonia and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
To the Editor The study by Dr Corrales-Medina and colleagues showed that hospitalization for pneumonia was associated with enhanced short-term and long-term risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including myocardial infarction, stroke, and fatal coronary artery disease. There are several methodological and clinical issues that need to be addressed to further examine the association between pneumonia and CVD.

Approaches to Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease
In Reply Dr Feigin and colleagues raise 2 concerns regarding the CMS value-based payment model for primary prevention of myocardial infarction and stroke. First, they are concerned that the model continuously rewards only reduction in the highest decile of predicted 10-year cardiovascular event risk, although many events occur in patients at low to moderate risk. Second, they recommend that cardiac risks and management approaches be tailored based on patients’ individualized needs.

Article Selection and Possible Risk of Bias
To the Editor Dr Badhiwala and colleagues followed the Cochrane Collaboration standards to conduct a systematic review on the use of mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke. Reviewing 8 randomized clinical trials, the authors concluded that, in selected patients, endovascular thrombectomy was associated with improved functional outcomes over standard medical care, without differences in adverse events.

Article Selection and Possible Risk of Bias—Reply
In Reply Dr Elgendy and colleagues suggest that the SYNTHESIS trial should have been excluded from our meta-analysis because the endovascular therapy group did not receive intravenous tPA. At the time SYNTHESIS and the Interventional Management of Stroke III (IMS III) were designed, there was limited data on combining intravenous tPA with endovascular thrombectomy. The rationale for combination therapy was the yet unproven assumption that endovascular thrombectomy and intravenous tPA could work in synergy; however, there was also concern about a possible higher risk of hemorrhagic transformation, especially at full doses o...

An Unresponsive Patient With Osborn Waves
A 79-year-old man with a history of hypertension and stroke presented to the emergency department unresponsive with an undetectable temperature. Blood pressure was 85/55 mm Hg; pulse oximetry was 100% on ambient air. An ECG revealed sinus bradycardia with Osborn waves and attenuated P waves. What would you do next?

Measuring and Improving Quality
To the Editor In the Viewpoint by Drs McGlynn and Kerr, they stated that “The Joint Commission focuses on 3 major types of admission: myocardial infarction, pneumonia, and heart failure,” leaving most other conditions “largely unmeasured.” In fact, the Joint Commission’s measure sets have also addressed surgical care, perinatal care (the most common reason for hospital admission in the United States), children’s asthma, psychiatric care, venous thromboembolism, stroke, immunization, and tobacco and substance use. The Joint Commission is currently developing new performance measures for blood management and tota...
