Stroke prevention, 1-year clinical outcomes and healthcare resource utilization in patients with atrial fibrillation in France: Data from the GARFIELD-AF registry.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients enrolled in France had higher rates of mortality and stroke/systemic embolism than in GARFIELD-AF overall. Conversely, the risk of major bleeding was not higher. PMID: 29861295 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Burden of stroke and other cardiovascular complications in patients with atrial fibrillation hospitalized in France
Conclusion Half a million patients with AF were hospitalized in France in 2012. Cardiovascular-related hospitalizations involved half of these admissions, for a global burden of almost 2 billion, equivalent to 2.6% of total expenditure in French hospitals. Among these hospitalizations stroke/TIA/SE represented costly, but potentially preventable, complications.

Sex differences in stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation in French primary care. Results of the AFIGP (Atrial Fibrillation In General Practice) Database
Conclusions Most AF patients followed by French GPs required stroke prevention according to European guidelines, but many of them did not receive the recommended antithrombotic treatment. Women over 75 were a third less likely to be treated with recommended anticoagulants than men of similar age.

Prediction of Incident Atrial Fibrillation According to Gender in Patients with Ischemic Stroke From a Nationwide Cohort
The CHA2DS2-VASc score may identify patients at higher risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) following ischemic stroke (IS) among patients without known AF. We compared gender-related differences in items from CHA2DS2-VASc score and their relationship with AF occurrence after IS. This French cohort study was based on the database covering hospital care from 2009 to 2012 for the entire population. Of 336,291 patients with IS, 240,459 (71.5%) had no AF at baseline. Women were older, more frequently had hypertension, heart failure, and had a higher CHA2DS2-VASc score than men (4.63 vs 4.39, p

Breast Cancer and Incident Cardiovascular Events. A Systematic Analysis at the Nationwide Level
CONCLUSIONS: In a large and contemporary analysis of female patients seen in French hospitals, women with history of breast cancer had higher risk of all-cause mortality, new onset heart failure and major bleeding compared to a matched cohort of women without breast cancer. In contrast, they have a reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality, MI, and stroke.PMID:35113450 | DOI:10.1111/eci.13754

Can Patent Foramen Ovales Cause Problems?
Discussion During fetal development, the heart primum and secundum septa grow and overlap leaving a small but important channel between the two atria. The foramen ovale is a flap valve moving blood from the right atrium into the left atrium directly and bypassing the high pressure pulmonary system. After birth and breathing air, the neonate’s lungs open up and the pulmonary vascular resistance decreases. The left atrium now has a relatively higher pressure than the right atria, and therefore pressure on the flap valve closes the foramen ovale. Usually within 6-12 months, the fusion of the primum and secundum of the f...

Long-Term Exposure to Road Traffic Noise and Nitrogen Dioxide and Risk of Heart Failure: A Cohort Study
Conclusions: Long-term exposure to NO2 and road traffic noise was associated with higher risk of heart failure, mainly among men, in both single- and two-pollutant models. High exposure to both pollutants was associated with highest risk. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1272 Received: 25 October 2016 Revised: 09 August 2017 Accepted: 09 August 2017 Published: 26 September 2017 Address correspondence to M.

Soluble Fibrin Monomer Complex and Prediction of Cardiovascular Events in Atrial Fibrillation: The Observational Murcia Atrial Fibrillation Project
ConclusionsIn AF patients taking VKAs, high SFMC levels were associated with the risk of adverse cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality. The addition of SFMC to the CHA2DS2-VASc score improved its predictive performance for these outcomes, but failed to show an improvement in clinical usefulness.

Harnessing the Four Elements for Mental Health
DiscussionAs detailed above, the “elements” in both a classical and a contemporary sense have effects on our mental health and are potentially modifiable aspects that can be harnessed as therapeutic interventions. The most robust interventional evidence currently available shows tentative support for several use of the elements via horticultural and nature-exposure therapy, green exercise/physical activity, sauna and heat therapy, balneotherapy, and breathing exercises. It should be noted that, in many cases, these interventions were not studied in definitive diagnosed psychiatric disorders and thus it is pre...

Outcomes in nonagenarians undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI): data from a nationwide analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Within nonagenarians with AS, patients treated with TAVI had lower risk of cardiovascular events than matched patients treated medically. The patients undergoing a TAVI at this age were often highly selected and the procedure was associated with acceptable long term outcomes. PMID: 31763981 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prevalence and economic burden of cardiovascular diseases in France in 2013 according to the national health insurance scheme database.
CONCLUSION: CVDs constitute the leading group in terms of numbers of patients reimbursed and total reimbursed expenditure, despite a probable underestimation of both numbers and expenditure. PMID: 27079468 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Predictors of Cardiovascular Hospitalization in Giant Cell Arteritis: Effect of Statin Exposure. A French Population-based Study.
CONCLUSION: Patients with GCA present a high risk of cardiovascular hospitalization after diagnosis. In patients with incident GCA from the Midi-Pyrenees region, southern France, statin therapy was associated with reduced cardiovascular hospitalizations.
