Arrhythmias in Adults with Congenital Heart Disease: What the Practicing Cardiologist Needs to Know
Publication date: Available online 16 July 2019Source: Canadian Journal of CardiologyAuthor(s): Paul KhairyAbstractThe expanding population of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) combined with the pervasiveness of arrhythmias has resulted in the rapid growth of a dedicated sector of cardiology at the intersection between two subspecialties: electrophysiology and adult CHD. Herein, practical considerations are offered regarding urgent referral for catheter ablation of atrial arrhythmias, anticoagulation, and primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Patients with Ebstein anomaly and ventricul...

Modality selection for the revascularization of left main disease
Publication date: Available online 15 December 2018Source: Canadian Journal of CardiologyAuthor(s): Derrick Y. Tam, Faisal Bakaeen, Dmitriy N. Feldman, Philippe Kolh, Gaetano Antonio Lanza, Marc Ruel, Raffaele Piccolo, Stephen E. Fremes, Mario FL. GaudinoAbstractThe management of severe left main (LM) disease remains controversial and continues to evolve as new evidence emerges. Patient selection for CABG or PCI relies on both predicting mortality with CABG from clinical characteristics using the Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk score and anatomical complexity using the SYNTAX score. LM stenting techniques continue to evo...

Patterns of incidence rates of cardiac complications in patients with congenital heart disease
ConclusionsCardiac complications are frequent in congenital heart disease. Apart from perioperative stroke and complete heart block, incidence rates are low in childhood but the incidence increases during adult life. These data underscore the need of life-long follow up and may help for better allocation of resources maintaining follow-up.

Women and Peripheral Arterial Disease: A Review of Sex Differences in Epidemiology, Clinical Manifestation and Outcomes
Publication date: Available online 31 January 2018 Source:Canadian Journal of Cardiology Author(s): Kajenny Srivaratharajah, Beth L. Abramson Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a manifestation of CVD and a marker for other adverse CVD outcomes such as ischemic heart disease and stroke, remains under-recognized and under-treated in women. Contrary to previous belief that PAD is mainly a disease of Caucasian men, contemporary data suggest equal, if not higher, prevalence rates in non-Caucasian women. Women often present with asymptomatic or...

Recent temporal changes in atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in Ontario: Clinical and health systems impact
Conclusions Striking declines in hospitalizations and deaths from ASCVD were observed in Ontario from 1994-2014. However, the limited progress observed in younger Canadians highlights the need for ongoing efforts aimed at preventing and treating ASCVDs and their associated risk factors. Teaser As part of the Cardiovascular Health in Ambulatory Care Research Team “big data” initiative, we utilized information from population-based databases to examine 20-year temporal trends in hospitalizations and mortality attributed to atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). Overall, substantive declines in hospitalization a...

Associations between Childhood Cognition and Cardiovascular Events in Adulthood: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions Lower childhood IQ is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events in adulthood, even after adjustment for confounding variables. Future research should examine the behavioural mechanisms by which these risks are mediated to optimize cardiovascular health. Teaser The objective of this review was to examine associations between childhood cognition and cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in adulthood. CVD events were defined by ICD codes corresponding to cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, or stroke. Five longitudinal studies containing 17,256 participants examining links between childho...

The Risk Stratification and Stroke Prevention Therapy Care Gap in Canadian Atrial Fibrillation Patients
Conclusions In a large Canadian AF population, primary care physicians did not provide a stroke or bleeding risk in a substantial proportion of their AF patients. When estimates were provided, they were on the basis of a predictive stroke and bleeding risk index in less than half of the patients. Furthermore, there was under- and overestimation of stroke and bleeding risk in a substantial proportion of patients. As many as 1 in 3 patients receiving warfarin have their TTR < 60%. These findings suggest an opportunity to enhance knowledge translation to primary care physicians.

The Risk of Ischemic Heart Disease and Stroke Among Immigrant Populations: A Systematic Review
Conclusions The risks of ischemic heart disease and stroke vary widely in immigrant populations in Western Europe. Detailed studies of immigrants to Canada by country of birth and duration of residence should be undertaken to guide future cardiovascular health promotion initiatives. Teaser This review summarizes 17 studies on the risks of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke among immigrants to high-income countries. The results varied by country-of-origin, host country, and duration of residence. Multiple studies of immigrants to Western Europe show that most immigrant groups are at similar or higher risk of developing...

The new Pooled Cohort Equations Risk Calculator
Publication date: Available online 4 February 2015 Source:Canadian Journal of Cardiology Author(s): David Preiss , Søren L. Kristensen In the NCEP ATPIII guidelines published in 2001, estimation of cardiovascular risk was recommended based on the Framingham score for ten year risk of myocardial infarction while the Canadian Cardiovascular Society currently recommends the Framingham total cardiovascular risk score. During development of joint guidelines released in 2013 by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA), the decision was taken to develop a new risk score. This resulted in th...

Weight Loss Is a Useful Therapeutic Objective
Publication date: February 2015 Source:Canadian Journal of Cardiology, Volume 31, Issue 2 Author(s): Caroline K. Kramer Overweight/obesity has been associated with increased risk for several conditions, including hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and stroke. The morbidity associated with overweight and obesity translates into excess mortality risk, which is observed even when increased weight is not associated with metabolic abnormalities. The achievement of moderate weight loss, regardless of the treatment strategy, is associated with favorable clinical outcomes, including significant...
