sRAGE and the risk for incident heart failure: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Conclusions Lower circulating levels of sRAGE are independently associated with the development of heart failure in a community-based population. Our results add to the growing evidence that sRAGE is a valuable predictor of cardiovascular disease.

The Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional Program to reduce events and risk factors in secondary prevention for cardiovascular disease: study protocol (The BALANCE Program Trial)
This article reports the rationale for the Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional Program (BALANCE Program) Trial. This pragmatic, multicenter, nationwide, randomized, concealed, controlled trial was designed to investigate the effects of the BALANCE Program in reducing cardiovascular events. The BALANCE Program consists of a prescribed diet guided by nutritional content recommendations from Brazilian national guidelines using a unique nutritional education strategy, which includes suggestions of affordable foods. In addition, the Program focuses on intensive follow-up through one-on-one visits, group sessions, and phone c...

Reducing Cardiovascular Risk through Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Two Methodological Approaches
Publication date: Available online 11 September 2015 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): Klar Yaggi, Murray A. Mittleman, Dawn M. Bravata, John Concato, James Ware, Catherine M. Stoney, Susan Redline Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) significantly impacts cardiovascular health, demonstrated by observational investigations showing an independently increased risk of ischemic heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality. Positive airway pressure (PAP), a medical therapy for sleep apnea, reverses airway obstruction ...

Antithrombotic Strategy Variability In ATrial Fibrillation and Obstructive Coronary Disease Revascularized with PCI - Rationale and study design of the prospective observational multicenter AVIATOR 2 Registry
Publication date: Available online 21 September 2015 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): Jaya Chandrasekhar, Ioannis Mastoris, Usman Baber, Samantha Sartori, Mikkel Schoos, Sameer Bansilal, George Dangas, Roxana Mehran Background In the era of novel anti-thrombotic therapy, the optimal treatment for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) or flutter undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is undetermined. Study Design The AVIATOR 2 study is a multicenter prospective observational registry that will enroll approximately 2500 patients with non-valvular AF or flutter undergoing PCI star...

Soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products and the risk for incident heart failure: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Conclusions Lower circulating levels of sRAGE are independently associated with the development of heart failure in a community-based population. Our results add to the growing evidence that sRAGE is a valuable predictor of cardiovascular disease.

Percutaneous alternative to the Maze procedure for the treatment of persistent or longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation (aMAZE trial): Rationale and Design
Conclusion The aMAZE trial will determine if LAA ligation as adjunctive therapy to PVI increases the efficacy of maintaining SR in patients with persistent and long standing persistent AF.

Can the optimal type of stent be predicted based on clinical risk factors? A subgroup analysis of the randomized BASKET-PROVE trial
Conclusions This exploratory analysis suggests that, in patients who require stenting of a large coronary artery, use of a clinical risk score may identify those patients for whom DES use may confer a clinical advantage over BMS, beyond lower restenosis rates.

Reducing cardiovascular risk through treatment of obstructive sleep apnea: 2 methodological approaches
This article describes 2 independent studies that worked collaboratively to fill these gaps. The populations, design features, and relative benefits/challenges of the 2 studies (SleepTight and BestAIR) are described. Both studies were encouraged to have multidisciplinary teams with expertise in behavioral interventions to improve PAP compliance. Both studies provide key information that will be useful to the research community in future large-scale, event-driven, randomized trials to evaluate the efficacy and/or effectiveness of strategies to identify and treat significant OSA for decreasing risk of major adverse cardiovas...
