Association between oral health and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with hypertension: a nationwide cohort study
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that multiple dental caries were related to the risk of cardiovascular diseases in hypertensive patients. Better oral hygiene may attenuate the risk of cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients.

Optimal target blood pressure for major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in hypertensive patients: a nationwide population-based study
Conclusion: Even though this observational study did not support inference of a causal relationship, a SBP of 120–129 mmHg and a DBP of 80–89 mmHg may be safely recommended considering the possibility of MACCE in Korean patients with hypertension. In addition, the target BP should be tailored individually according to age, sex, and comorbidities.

The predictive role of CHA2DS2–VASc score between venous thromboembolism and ischemic stroke: a large-scale cohort study
Conclusion: Our study is the first to concern the performance of CHA2DS2–VASc score in predicting the risk of ischemic stroke in VTE patients and the risk of VTE in ischemic stroke patients. Nevertheless, the performance of the score was modest, and the transportability of the score in these populations still needs to be defined.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers and the risk of major adverse cardiac events in patients with diabetes and prior stroke: a nationwide study
Conclusion: Our study supports the hypothesis that the risks of MACEs and two additional secondary outcomes in patients with diabetes who survived ischemic stroke did not differ according to ACEI versus ARB use.
