Shared Decision-Making and Cardiovascular Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Circulation. 2023 Aug 14. doi: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000001162. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTShared decision-making is increasingly embraced in health care and recommended in cardiovascular guidelines. Patient involvement in health care decisions, patient-clinician communication, and models of patient-centered care are critical to improve health outcomes and to promote equity, but formal models and evaluation in cardiovascular care are nascent. Shared decision-making promotes equity by involving clinicians and patients, sharing the best available evidence, and recognizing the needs, values, and experiences of individuals and...

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and atrial fibrillation: a Sub ‐Saharan African perspective
AbstractCardiovascular diseases are a well-established cause of death in high-income countries. In the last 20  years, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has seen one of the sharpest increases in cardiovascular disease-related mortality, superseding that of infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, in South Africa. This increase is evidenced by a growing burden of heart failure and atrial fibrillation (AF) risk factor s. AF is a common comorbidity of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), which predisposes to an increased risk of stroke, rehospitalizations, and mortality compared with patients in sinus rhythm. AF had ...

Automatic segmentation of ultrasound images of carotid atherosclerotic plaque based on Dense-UNet
CONCLUSION: The Dense-UNet network could realize the automatic segmentation of atherosclerotic plaque ultrasound images, and it could assist medical practitioners in plaque evaluation.PMID:35964217 | DOI:10.3233/THC-220152

Minute Stroke Distance is a More Reproducible Measurement Than Cardiac Output in the Assessment of Fetal Ventricular Systolic Function
Echocardiographic quantification of fetal cardiac output (CO) aids clinical decision-making in the management of various cardiac and extracardiac diseases. Small variability in measuring semilunar valve dimension significantly reduces the reproducibility of the calculated CO. We propose minute stroke distance or velocity-time integral (VTI) as a more reproducible measure reflecting fetal ventricular systolic function. We hypothesized that right and left ventricular minute VTI increase predictably with estimated fetal weight (EFW) and are more reproducible than CO.

Vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging of symptomatic middle cerebral artery atherosclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Based on current evidence, contrast enhancement and T1 hyperintensity on high-resolution MRI have high potential as imaging biomarkers of patients with MCA plaques at risk of ischemic events. Future prospective, longitudinal studies of intracranial-plaque high-resolution MRI are required to improve decision-making for the management of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques.PMID:35952437 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinimag.2022.08.001

Brain structure and stroke risk score in subjects without a history of atrial fibrillation
Scand Cardiovasc J. 2022 Dec;56(1):100-102. doi: 10.1080/14017431.2022.2074094.ABSTRACTCHA2DS2-VASc score system aids in clinical decision-making in subjects with atrial fibrillation (AF). Little is known on the association between CHA2DS2-VASc scores and brain structure in patients without cardiac arrhythmia. Detailed brain architecture analysis was performed. Assessment of bivariate correlation between the volume of segmented brain structures and Z-scores of CHA2DS2-VASc showed that higher risk scores correlated negatively and significantly with various brain framework. Our study confirms that a cluster of risk factors i...

Assessing the characteristics and diagnostic value of plaques for patients with acute stroke using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging
CONCLUSIONS: A larger plaque area and smaller LA in the stenotic MCA, and obvious plaque enhancement might indicate that a patient is prone to acute stroke.PMID:35111645 | PMC:PMC8739121 | DOI:10.21037/qims-21-531
