Study: Skipping Breakfast Tied To Higher Risk Of Heart-Related Death
(CNN) — Whether you eat breakfast might be linked with your risk of dying early from cardiovascular disease, according to a new study.
Skipping breakfast was significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular-related death, especially stroke-related death, in the study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology on Monday.
After a person’s age, sex, race, socioeconomic status, diet, lifestyle, body mass index and disease status were taken into account, the study found that those who never had breakfast had a 87% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality compared with people who h...

Direct-Acting Oral Anticoagulants in Atrial Fibrillation: What’s New in the Literature
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, and it is associated with a significant risk of adverse events, especially ischemic stroke. Oral anticoagulation is the cornerstone for stroke prevention in AF; for many years, only vitamin K antagonists were used for this purpose, with an absolute risk reduction>60%. However, these agents have limitations, such as narrow therapeutic margins and drug–food and drug–drug interactions. More recently, 4 direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs)—non–vitamin K antagonists—have become available for patients with AF: dabigatran, rivaroxa...

Incidence of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and oral anticoagulant prescribing in England, 2009 to 2019: A cohort study
ConclusionsThe incidence of NVAF increased between 2009 and 2015, before plateauing. Underprescribing of OACs in NVAF is associated with a range of comorbidities, ethnicity, and socioeconomic factors, demonstrating the need for initiatives to reduce inequalities in the care for AF patients.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and incident major adverse cardiovascular events: results from a nationwide histology cohort
Conclusion
Compared with matched population controls, patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD had significantly higher incidence of MACE, including IHD, stroke, CHF and CV mortality. Excess risk was evident across all stages of NAFLD and increased with worsening disease severity.

Utilization of triple antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
ConclusionsThe utilization of TAT following PCI among high-stroke risk AF patients steadily increased from 2011 to 2020, reaching 65.4% by the end of the study period. However, in 2020, a significant proportion of 29.4% of patients still received DAPT, indicating that many AF patients undergoing PCI did not receive adequate antithrombotic therapy.

Transapical aortic valve implantation: mid-term outcome from the SOURCE registry ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS
These results demonstrate that in elderly patients with severe co-morbidities, TA aortic valve implantation results in excellent mid-term results. Causes of death during the mid-term follow-up are mainly non-cardiac and related to co-morbidities.

Physical comorbidity and its relevance on mortality in schizophrenia: a naturalistic 12-year follow-up in general hospital admissions.
Authors: Schoepf D, Uppal H, Potluri R, Heun R
Abstract
Schizophrenia is a major psychotic disorder with significant comorbidity and mortality. Patients with schizophrenia are said to suffer more type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetogenic complications. However, there is little consistent evidence that comorbidity with physical diseases leads to excess mortality in schizophrenic patients. Consequently, we investigated whether the burden of physical comorbidity and its relevance on hospital mortality differed between patients with and without schizophrenia in a 12-year follow-up in general hospital admissions....

Reduced thoracic fluid content in early-stage primary biliary cirrhosis that associates with impaired cardiac inotropy
This study has confirmed that TFC is reduced in those with PBC, that this is specific to PBC, and that it associates independently with markers of cardiac inotropy.

Profile of infective endocarditis observed from 2003 - 2010 in a single center in Italy
Conclusion:
S. aureus emerged as the leading causative organism of IE in a University hospital in northern Italy. Our study confirmed the high in-hospital mortality of IE, particularly if health-care associated, and the protective role of surgery.

Chronic hepatitis C virus infection and atherosclerosis: Clinical impact and mechanisms.
Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection represents a major health issue worldwide due to its burden of chronic liver disease and extrahepatic manifestations including cardiovascular diseases, which are associated with excess mortality. Analysis of published studies supports the view that HCV infection should be considered a risk factor for the development of carotid atherosclerosis, heart failure and stroke. In contrast, findings from studies addressing coronary artery disease and HCV have yielded conflicting results. Therefore, meta-analytic reviews and prospective studies are warranted. The pathogenic mechani...

Standardized mortality ratios by region of residence, Israel, 1987-1994: a tool for public health policy.
CONCLUSIONS: Regional SMR differences, adjusted for age, gender, and ethnicity, may be due to socioeconomic, nutritional, environmental, occupational, or health care factors. SMRs provide a tool to identify regions for epidemiological investigation and priorities for preventive interventions. Regional health monitoring should be undertaken routinely on mortality data, as well as other national databases, as part of national health monitoring.

The Association Between Surgical Indications, Operative Risk and Clinical Outcome in Infective Endocarditis: A Prospective Study From the International Collaboration on Endocarditis.
CONCLUSIONS: -Surgical decision-making in IE is largely consistent with established guidelines, although nearly one-quarter of patients with surgical indications do not undergo surgery. Operative risk assessment by STS-IE score provides prognostic information for survival beyond the operative period. S. aureus IE was significantly associated with non-surgical management.

Risk Factors Associated With Death in a 12-Month Cohort Analysis of Tuberculosis Patients: 12-Month Follow-up After Registration
The aim of the study was to investigate the risk of death for 12 months follow-up after registration of tuberculosis (TB), using a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study. A total of 33851 new TB cases were enrolled from 2006 to 2008. Of these, 5584 (16.5%) patients died during the follow-up period because of TB, and 4224 (12.5%) patients died because of other causes. Multivariate survival analysis revealed that age, HIV, chronic kidney disease, stroke, cancer, and chronic liver disease and cirrhosis were significant risk factors associated with death. Patients of age 0 to 64 years with HIV, chronic kidney d...

Super Nutrient’s Liver Surprise
I was one of the first doctors to talk about the incredible benefits of the super-nutrient pyrroloquinoline quinone, or PQQ for short.
I was also one of the first doctors to recommend it to patients.
Now I recommend this essential nutrient and powerful antioxidant to almost everyone who comes to see me at my wellness clinic.
Researchers have only just recently begun to understand the many important roles of PQQ on the body’s cellular processes.
Not only does it possess extraordinary energy-giving qualities and have the power to ease nerve pain and battle Alzheimer’s, it has the potential to become the world’s stronge...
