Circulating interleukins in relation to coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke and its subtypes: A two sample Mendelian randomization
The causal role of interleukins (ILs) for cardiovascular disease has not been fully elucidated. We conducted a Mendelian randomization study to investigate the associations of circulating ILs with coronary artery disease (CAD), atrial fibrillation (AF), and ischemic stroke.

Effect of the baseline pulse wave velocity on short term and long term blood pressure control in primary hypertension
Arterial stiffness may affect antihypertensive response to antihypertensive treatment. However, sufficient clinical evidence is lacking. This longitudinal study aimed to evaluate the effect of baseline arterial stiffness measured by the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) on response to short-term and long-term enalapril-based treatment in 3310 hypertensive adults from the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT).

Efficacy and safety of edoxaban in patients with diabetes mellitus in the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trial
Diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for stroke and atrial fibrillation. Therefore, the risk/benefit profile of the oral factor Xa inhibitor edoxaban stratified by diabetes is of clinical interest.

The association between pulmonary hypertension and stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
We thank Wang et al. for their comments and for bringing forward the challenges in managing care of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and stroke. We acknowledge multiple possible mechanisms of stroke in patients with PH, and we highlighted them in our work, including paradoxical emboli and atrial fibrillation [1]. However, polycythemia (increased red cells) or other myeloproliferative disorders are considered to be a cause and not a consequence of PH [2,3]. In mice models, Sala et al. have showed that chronic hypoxia could lead to both PH and polycythemia [4].

NOACs in adult congenital heart disease – Still limited experience
With advances in congenital heart disease treatment, more patients with repaired or palliated defects are living longer [1]. Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) is also associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation [2] and stroke, both haemorrhagic and embolic [3,4]. While there is an abundance of clinical trials evaluating novel oral anticoagulants, NOACs, in patients with acquired heart disease the opposite is true for ACHD. In the current issue, Pujol and co-workers [5] report their single centre experience of 215 ACHD patients treated with NOACs.

Allometric versus ratiometric normalization of left ventricular stroke volume by Doppler-echocardiography for outcome prediction in severe aortic stenosis with preserved ejection fraction
Appropriate normalization methods to scale Doppler-derived stroke volume (SV) to body size in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) are poorly defined and reference values are lacking. We aim to establish reference values of normalized SV in adults, and to compare the prognostic value of SV normalized by different methods in AS patients.

One for all and all for one? The dilemma of optimal management of atrial fibrillation with cardiac co-morbidities
Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and concomitant heart failure or coronary artery disease (CAD) are at particularly high risk of thromboembolic complications, requiring careful stroke prevention management. The development of the direct oral anticoagulants has undoubtedly improved secondary prevention of stroke arising from venous sources, while antiplatelet therapy is an essential mainstay of secondary prevention in patients with CAD. The combination, however, is associated with an increased risk of major bleeds, so the decision whether to continue with antiplatelet treatment on top of life-long anticoa...

Is it time to eliminate balloon valvuloplasty before transcatheter aortic valve replacement?
Pre-deployment balloon valvuloplasty (BAV) was initially deemed necessary for transcatheter valve aortic replacement (TAVR) to optimize crossing the native valve for transcatheter valve positioning, and ultimately deployment [1]. There are data to suggest that BAV can be associated with hemodynamic disturbance, a higher stroke rate, conduction disorders, significant aortic regurgitation, and even myocardial injury [2,3]. The need for routine use of pre-TAVR BAV has been questioned after recent studies have suggesting the feasibility of direct TAVR without BAV [4 –7].

Lateralization of the control of cardiovascular autonomic function and left atrial injury after selective right and left insular stroke
We thank Dr. Nagai [1] for their interest in our paper showing that selective insular stroke induced by the stereotactic injection of endothelin-1 in the left and right insular cortex of Wistar rats resulted in increased endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and fibrosis in the left atrium at 28 days after stroke [2]. In our study, we did not specifically investigate differences between anterior vs. posterior regions on the right or left insula. However, we did not find differences in left atrial changes when comparing left vs.

NT-pro-BNP: A novel predictor of stroke risk after transient ischemic attack
Elevated levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and NT-pro-BNP can predict an increased risk of cardiovascular events and ischemic stroke. The limited reliability to predict the risk of stroke after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) justifies the objective of our study to determine the role of NT-pro-BNP in patients with TIAs.
