Quality of Anticoagulation Control in Preventing Adverse Events in Patients With Heart Failure in Sinus Rhythm: Warfarin Versus Aspirin in Reduced Cardiac Ejection Fraction Trial Substudy Original Articles
Conclusions— In patients with heart failure in sinus rhythm, increasing TTR is associated with better outcome and improved net clinical benefit. Patients in whom good quality anticoagulation can be achieved may benefit from the use of anticoagulants. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00041938.

Who Must We Target Now to Minimize Future Cardiovascular Events and Total Mortality?: Lessons From the Surveillance, Prevention and Management of Diabetes Mellitus (SUPREME-DM) Cohort Study Original Articles
Conclusions— To sustain improvements in myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and mortality, health systems that have successfully focused on care improvement in high-risk adults with DM or CVD must broaden their improvement strategies to target lower risk adults who have not yet developed DM or CVD.

Cause of Death and Predictors of All-Cause Mortality in Anticoagulated Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: Data From ROCKET AF Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology
Conclusions In a large population of patients anticoagulated for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, 7 in 10 deaths were cardiovascular, whereas <1 in 10 deaths were caused by nonhemorrhagic stroke or systemic embolism. Optimal prevention and treatment of heart failure, renal impairment, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes may improve survival.

Residual Ischemic Risk and Its Determinants in Patients With Previous Myocardial Infarction and Without Prior Stroke or TIA: Insights From the REACH Registry
ConclusionsIn this study, residual ischemic risk after MI accrued progressively up to 4 years of follow‐up, emphasizing the value of intensive secondary prevention strategies to minimize residual risk.

Uric acid predicts mortality and ischaemic stroke in subjects with diastolic dysfunction: the Troms ø Study 1994–2013
ConclusionsIncreased uric acid was associated with higher all‐cause mortality risk in subjects with echocardiographic indices of diastolic dysfunction, and with higher ischaemic stroke risk in persons with severely enlarged left atria.

Increased arterial stiffness and haemorrhagic transformation in ischaemic stroke after thrombolysis: A new marker of risk for cerebrovascular events and complications
Essential hypertension is the most frequent cardiovascular risk factor in the general population, and its prevalence is even higher in specific subsets of high-risk individuals, such as elderly, patients with diabetes, coronary artery disease or stroke [1]. In view of the large prevalence and growing incidence, as well as in view of the strong and independent correlation between high blood pressure (BP) levels and increased risk of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, mostly including myocardial infarction, stroke, congestive heart failure and cardiovascular death [2], several studies have addressed the ...

Stroke volume ratio derived from magnetic resonance imaging as an indicator of interventricular dyssynchrony predicts future cardiac event in patients with biventricular Fontan circulation
This study wanted to assess the hypothesis that interventricular dyssynchrony evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can predict future cardiac events in patients with biventricular heart who have undergone Fontan surgery. We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with biventricular Fontan circulation from 2003 to 2016, and performed protocolized cardiac MRI. We determined the stroke volume ratio (SVr) using the following formula to assess interventricular dyssynchrony: (stroke volume (SV) of the two whole ventricles)/(SV of the right ventricle  + SV of the left ventricle), by tracing cine MRI data....

Prescription status of oral anticoagulants in patients with acute cerebral infarction with non-valvular atrial fibrillation at the time of stroke onset.
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that OAC prescription is affected by a previous history of cerebral infarction, a history of dementia, concurrent use of antiplatelet drugs, and whether the patient visits a specialist. PMID: 31843290 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Combination of Oral Anticoagulants and Single Antiplatelets versus Triple Therapy in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation and Acute Coronary Syndrome: Stroke Prevention among Asians
Int J Angiol DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1708477Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent arrhythmic disease, tends to foster thrombus formation due to hemodynamic disturbances, leading to severe disabling and even fatal thromboembolic diseases. Meanwhile, patients with AF may also present with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring stenting, which creates a clinical dilemma considering that majority of such patients will likely receive oral anticoagulants (OACs) for stroke prevention and require additional double antiplatelet treatment (DAPT) to reduce recurrent cardiac events and in-stent th...

Evaluation of left ventricular function in patients with acute ischaemic stroke using cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
ConclusionsCardiovascular MRI at 3  Tesla is an appropriate method for the evaluation of cardiac function in a selected cohort of patients with AIS. Systolic and diastolic dysfunction is frequent in these patients. CRT imaging allows reliable assessment of systolic and diastolic function.

Stroke and Bleeding Risk Assessment in Atrial Fibrillation: Where Are We Now?
Korean Circ J. 2021 Jun 1. doi: 10.4070/kcj.2021.0170. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMost important international guidelines recommend the use of CHA₂DS₂-VASc and HAS-BLED scores for stroke and bleeding risk assessments in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, respectively. The 2020 AF guidelines of European Society of Cardiology have revised the definition of "C: congestive heart failure (HF)" component, and now patients with either HF with reduced ejection fraction or preserved ejection fraction should be assigned 1 point. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was also included. Besides, the revised "V: vascular diseases" compone...
