Small dense LDL cholesterol and ischemic stroke
Background and Aims: For decades it has been suggested that small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) may be particularly atherogenic. High levels of sdLDL are associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease; however, the association of sdLDL with ischemic stroke has not been explored in a large prospective study on the general population. We tested the hypothesis that high sdLDL cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke.

The role of atherogenic dyslipidemia, endothelial dysfunction and systemic inflammation in the development of vascular complications in patients with NAFLD
Background and Aims: Patients with NAFLD are at high risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, but the mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Aim is to determine the relationship between atherogenic dyslipidemia, systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction as causes of cardiovascular complications in patients with NAFLD.

Comparative mortality according to peripheral artery disease and coronary heart disease/stroke in the United States
A recent trial reported that patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) without coronary heart disease or stroke (CHD/stroke) had worse prognosis than those with CHD/stroke without PAD. However, community-based data are lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare mortality according to the status of PAD and CHD/stroke in the general population.

Having hobbies and the risk of cardiovascular disease incidence: A Japan public health center-based study
The role of hobbies as a protective factor against cardiovascular diseases (CVD) has gained increasing attention; however, no large-scale studies were performed to confirm this. We aimed to examine the association between having hobbies and the risk of total CVD, coronary heart disease (CHD), and stroke in a large Japanese cohort.

Psychosocial factors and subsequent risk of hospitalizations with peripheral artery disease: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
Psychosocial factors are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, associations with peripheral artery disease (PAD) remain uncharacterized. We aimed to compare associations of psychosocial factors with the risk of PAD and two other major atherosclerotic CVD: coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke, in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.

Leukocytes, platelets and cardiovascular diseases
We read with great interest the recent article in Atherosclerosis by Xu et al. [1]. In a large prospective study comprising 13,929 middle age and elderly individuals of Chinese descent, they showed that the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), the product of the neutrophil count x platelet count x lymphocyte count, predicted total stroke, ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke over a median follow-up of 8.3 years using multivariate Cox regression analyses [1]. Although there was a threefold increase in coronary heart disease (CAD), SII did not predict CAD or acute coronary syndromes (ACS).

Weight change during middle age and risk of stroke and coronary heart disease: The Japan Public Health Center –based Prospective Study
The impact of weight changes in middle age on the incidence of cardiovascular disease has not been well elucidated. We investigated whether a 5-year weight change was associated with risk of stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) in middle-aged individuals.

Association of beta-2-microglobulin and cardiovascular events and mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Beta-2-microglobulin (B2M) has been suggested as an emerging biomarker for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, and mortality.

Vascular imaging of atherosclerosis: Strengths and weaknesses
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease that can lead to several complications such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. Therefore, researchers and clinicians rely heavily on the use of imaging modalities to identify, and more recently, quantify the burden of atherosclerosis in the aorta, carotid arteries, coronary arteries, and peripheral vasculature. These imaging techniques vary in invasiveness, cost, resolution, radiation exposure, and presence of artifacts.

Statins and beta blockers - The most frequently encountered potential prescribing omissions in rural Romanian elderly population
Background and Aims: Cardiovascular diseases (ischaemic heart diseases and stroke) are the leading cause of death in Romania, the death rate of ischaemic heart disease being three times higher than in European Union. The aim of this study was to identify potential prescribing omissions (PPOs) and to determine their prevalence based on the STOPP / START v.2, 2015, criteria for patients over the age of 65 years old.

Association between serum glycated albumin and risk of cardiovascular disease in a Japanese community: The Hisayama Study
We aimed to investigate the association of serum glycated albumin (GA) levels with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its subtypes, including coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, in a general Japanese population.

Lifetime risk predictions for cardiovascular diseases: competing risks analyses on a population-based cohort in Sweden
There are guideline discussions on a lifetime approach to cardiovascular risk. Many of the available risk models estimate the short-term, usually 10-year risk of non-fatal and fatal cardiovascular diseases (CVD) grouped together. We aimed to develop lifetime risk models for non-fatal coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure and death from CVD and non-CVD.

From the eye into the foot?
Why the prognosis of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is so much worse than of patients with other manifestations of atherosclerosis, such as coronary heart disease (CHD) or stroke, remains an enigma. Recently, in this very journal, Agnelli et al. provided a systemic meta-analysis and review about morbidity and mortality of PAD patients, and reestablished the value of ABI assessment and the unfavorable prognosis of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) [1].

Allograft inflammatory factor-1, a multi-target regulator of atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial wall responsible for ischemic heart disease and stroke, the most frequent causes of death worldwide. Cardiovascular diseases are expected to remain the main cause of death globally within the next 15 years, owing to a rapidly increasing prevalence, mainly due to the rising incidence of obesity and diabetes on a global scale in both developed and developing economies. This forces us to consider new strategies for prediction, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular disease [1].

Cardiovascular Incomes In The Hypertensive And Diabetic Mediterranean Population Older Than 65 Years Old
Background and Aims: In Spain, hypertension and DM are major health problems. The importance of determining the CV risk associated with both is based on the evidence of simultaneous CV risk factors potentiate each other, giving rise to a total CV risk that is greater than the sum of its components. Our objective was to study the income from coronary heart disease, heart failure or stroke produced in these patients during follow-up.
