Geographical Differences in Thromboembolic and Bleeding Risks in Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation: An Ancillary Analysis from the SPORTIF Trials
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke, and the use of oral anticoagulation reduces stroke and all-cause mortality. Geographical differences may exist in AF risk factors, risk stratification and treatment strategies.

Insurance, self-reported medication adherence and LDL cholesterol: The REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke study
Despite efforts to increase health insurance coverage in the US, in 2015 29 million American adults were uninsured [1]. A majority of these individuals are under 64years old, racial minorities or have lower socioeconomic status [1]. Lack of health insurance is associated with greater barriers to preventive services [2] and treatment of both acute and chronic illnesses [3] resulting in worse reported health status [4]. Being uninsured also adversely impacts medication adherence [5] and the control of cardiovascular risk factors [6].

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate modulates arrhythmogenic activity and calcium homeostasis of left atrium
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest sustained arrhythmia, and increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and mortality. Calcium (Ca2+) overload and oxidative stress are thought to participate in the pathogenesis of AF. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has an antioxidative effect and been shown to be beneficial in promoting cardiovascular health. However, it is not clear if EGCG directly modulates the electrophysiological characteristics and Ca2+ homeostasis of the left atrium (LA).

Non-permanent atrial fibrillation and oral anticoagulant therapy are related to survival during 10years after first-ever ischemic stroke
Atrial fibrillation (AF) detection in ischemic stroke patients triggers initiation of oral anticoagulant therapy (OAC). However, little is known regarding whether the persistency of AF affects long-term prognosis after ischemic stroke. We aimed to assess the impact of AF types and OAC on the outcome during a 10-year follow-up (FU) after first-ever ischemic stroke.

Left atrial appendage closure in a patient with left atrial appendage thrombus using a novel fish ball technique
We report on a 47-year-old (body-mass-index 24, 8), male patient who was scheduled for percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure at our hospital. In this patient permanent atrial fibrillation was known since 2010 with a CHA2DS2-Vasc-score of 3, because of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus type II and coronary heart disease). The Hasbled-score was 4, because of arterial hypertension, bleeding and stroke in his history and labile INR values under anticoagulation with warfarin therapy.

Vitamin D and Cardiovascular Disease: From atherosclerosis to myocardial infarction and stroke
There continues to be interest in understanding the role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis, epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In fact vitamin D deficiency has been associated to an increased risk of developing CVD given to the relationship between low vitamin D levels and obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, endothelial dysfunction and hypertension. However, although vitamin D has been identified as a potentially important marker of CVD, the mechanisms through which vitamin D deficiency leads from endothelial dysfunction to myocardial infarction and stroke are not fully understood.

Longer-term impact of hemiparetic stroke on skeletal muscle metabolism —A pilot study
Hemiparetic stroke leads to structural and metabolic alterations of skeletal muscle tissue, thereby contributing to functional impairment associated with stroke. In situ metabolic processes at tissue level in skeletal muscle have not been investigated. We hypothesize that muscular metabolic capacity is limited after hemiparetic stroke, and that changes affect rather the paretic than non-paretic limb.

Can we predict new AF occurrence in single-chamber ICD patients? Insights from an observational investigation
Atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT/AF) have been associated with an increased risk of mortality, morbidity and ischemic stroke. Up to now, single chamber ICD diagnostics was not able to detect AT/AF, therefore the incidence of new onset AT/AF in patients with single chamber ICD is not known.

Response to the letter to editor: Prediction of thromboembolic events for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation; CHA2DS2-VASc-UA2-VitD
We are invited to comment on the letter written by Dr. Cerit in reference to our recently article[1]. In the letter, Dr. Cerit concluded that vitamin D (VD) was closely related to atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke, and hypothesized that CHA2DS2-VASc-UA2-VitD may be an useful score system in risk stratification of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Several reasons were given in the letter: 1) VD regulates oxidative stress [2]. 2) VD may prevent and terminate atrial fibrillation as the direct electromechanically of left atrium [3].

CHA2DS2-VASC-AF2 score accurately predicts moderate-to-severe acute neurological dysfunction in the course of first ever ischemic stroke
Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and serious long-term disability worldwide [1]. Cardio-embolic stroke, most frequently related to atrial fibrillation (AF), is associated with a high risk of severe psychomotor disability and high stroke-related mortality rate [2]. The commonly applied CHA2DS2-VASC score properly identifies patients at a very low risk of stroke who do not require long-term anticoagulation [3]. Apart from its high predictive value in terms of stroke risk stratification, pre-admission CHA2DS2-VASC score has been recently shown to reflect the actual severity of stroke, once it occurs [4 –5].
