Incidence, Timing, and Type of First and Recurrent Ischemic Events in Patients with and without Peripheral Artery Disease after an Acute Coronary Syndrome
Conclusions Patients with PAD have a significantly higher risk of first and recurrent ischemic events in the post-ACS setting. These findings highlight the opportunity for improved treatments in patients with PAD who experience an ACS.

Prognosis in relation to high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels in patients with myocardial infarction and non-obstructive coronary arteries
Conclusions Hs-cTnT levels in MINOCA patients are strong and independent predictors of adverse outcome. Consideration of hs-cTnT levels is important for risk assessment of MINOCA patients.

Oral anti-Xa anticoagulation after Trans-Aortic Valve Implantation for Aortic Stenosis: The randomized ATLANTIS trial
Conclusions ATLANTIS tests the superiority of an apixaban-based strategy versus the recommended standard of care strategy to reduce the risk of post-TAVR thromboembolic and bleeding complications in an all comer population.

An Open-label, 2 x 2 Factorial, Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety of Apixaban vs. Vitamin K Antagonist and Aspirin vs. Placebo in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Acute Coronary Syndrome and/or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Rationale and Design of the AUGUSTUS Trial
Publication date: Available online 9 March 2018 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): Renato D. Lopes, Amit N. Vora, Danny Liaw, Christopher B. Granger, Harald Darius, Shaun G. Goodman, Roxana Mehran, Stephan Windecker, John H. Alexander The optimal antithrombotic strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who develop acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or the need for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is uncertain. The risk of bleeding is a major concern when oral anticoagulation is required to prevent stroke and concomitant therapy with antiplatelet agents is required to minimize recurrent ischemic even...

Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel After Fibrinolytic Therapy in Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Rationale and Design of the TicagRElor in pAtients with ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with Thrombolysis (TREAT) trial

Dual Antiplatelet Therapy for Perioperative Myocardial Infarction Following CABG Surgery
Conclusion One-quarter of CABG patients who had perioperative MI were treated with DAPT. DAPT was not associated with a difference in MI, stroke, or mortality at 30 days, but was associated with fewer re-hospitalizations. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal antiplatelet regimen following perioperative MI. What is already known about this subject? Perioperative myocardial infarction portends poor outcome but optimal management is currently unclear. While dual antiplatelet therapy is standard of care for acute coronary syndrome, its role in perioperative myocardial infarction is unknown. What does this study ...

Risk of Cardiovascular Events and Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Patients without Prior Atrial Fibrillation: Implications for Expanding the Indications for Anticoagulation
Conclusions Patients without diagnosed AF but with certain risk factors were at a particularly high cardiovascular risk and may require new prevention approaches. In addition to the ongoing trials, future trials in other high-risk populations, e.g., diabetes and chronic kidney disease may be warranted.

Rationale and design for the Vascular Outcomes study of ASA along with rivaroxaban in endovascular or surgical limb revascularization for peripheral artery disease (VOYAGER PAD)
Conclusions VOYAGER PAD is evaluating the efficacy of rivaroxaban added to background antiplatelet therapy to reduce major cardiovascular and limb ischemic vascular outcomes in the high-risk population of PAD patients undergoing peripheral revascularization.

Efficacy and Safety of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy after Coronary Stenting in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Conclusions The rates of POCO and coronary thrombotic events were significantly higher in patients with CKD compared with those without CKD, which was not affected by short- or long-term DAPT. Higher bleeding incidence by long-term DAPT was only observed in non-CKD patients but not in CKD patients. Further large scales studies are warranted to confirm our findings.

Effect of adding GLP-1RA on mortality, cardiovascular events, and metabolic outcomes among insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes: A large retrospective UK cohort study
Conclusion Based on a large UK cohort in routine clinical practice, adding a GLP-1RA to insulin therapy is associated with a reduction in risk of composite CV events and all-cause mortality but a nonsignificant higher risk of hospitalization for heart failure in overweight patients with T2D.

Effect of high-dose oral multivitamins and minerals in participants not treated with statins in the randomized Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TACT)
Conclusion and relevance High-dose oral multivitamin and multimineral supplementation seem to decrease combined cardiac events in a stable, post-MI population not taking statin therapy at baseline. These unexpected findings are being retested in the ongoing TACT2.

Efficacy and safety of potent platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitors in elderly versus nonelderly patients with acute coronary syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions The effect of more potent P2Y12 inhibitors compared with clopidogrel on efficacy and safety end points is consistent in elderly and younger patients. These data imply that potent P2Y12 inhibitors should not be withheld from eligible patients solely because of advanced age.

Prognostic value of viral eradication for major adverse cardiovascular events in hepatitis C cirrhotic patients
Conclusion In patients with compensated HCV-related cirrhosis, Asian ethnic origin, arterial hypertension, smoking and low serum albumin are independent predictive factors of cardiovascular events, while a sustained virological response is associated with a decreased rate of cardiovascular events.
