CHADS2 Score, Statin Therapy, and Risks of Atrial Fibrillation
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of statin treatment for atrial fibrillation prevention in elderly patients with hypertension, and to determine if comorbidity or CHADS2 (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke or transient ischemic attack) score can predict the effectiveness of statin treatment. Methods: Patients aged ≥65 years with hypertension were identified from a National Health Insurance research database (a systemic sampling from 2000 to 2009 with a total of 1,000,000 subjects). Medical records of 27,002 patients were used in this study, in which 2400 (8....

Early Adoption of Dabigatran and Its Dosing in US Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Results From the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation Health Services and Outcomes Research
Conclusions Patients receiving dabigatran were younger and at a lower risk of stroke and bleeding. Patients appeared to drive switching from warfarin, whereas clinical characteristics influenced de novo start of dabigatran. These data suggest cautious early uptake of dabigatran, and more careful attention to dosing adjustments is warranted. Clinical Trial Registration URL: Clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01165710.

Major adverse cardiovascular events in adult congenital heart disease: a population-based follow-up study from Taiwan
Conclusions: After a median of 11 years of follow-up, the Taiwanese patients with ConHD were at an increased risk of life-long cardiovascular MACE, including heart failure, stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and malignant dysrhythmia. Surgical correction may help to decrease long-term MACE in ConHD patients, especially those with ASD.

An Effective Approach to High Blood Pressure Control A Science Advisory From the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease, hypertension, and heart failure, along with stroke, continue to be leading causes of death in the United States (1,22). Hypertension currently affects nearly 78 million∗∗∗The estimate is based on the hypertension definition of blood pressure reading ≥140/90 mm  Hg, current use of antihypertensive medications, or being told about having hypertension on 2 occasions by a healthcare provider. When the third component of the definition is excluded, the estimated number of prevalence cases among U.S. adults would be 67 million (3). adults in the United States and is al...

Cardiovascular risks associated with second‐line oral antidiabetic agents added to metformin in patients with Type 2 diabetes: a nationwide cohort study
ConclusionThere were no differences in overall cardiovascular risks among several add‐on second‐line oral antidiabetic agents; however, glinide plus metformin and α‐glucosidase inhibitors plus metformin combination therapies might be associated with lower risks of acute myocardial infarction.This article is protected by copyright.

Geographic Clustering of Emergency Department Presentations for Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter in Alberta, Canada
ConclusionsThis population‐based study spanned 12 fiscal years and showed variations in the number of people presenting to EDs for AFF and the number of ED presentations for AFF over geography. The potential clusters identified may represent geographic areas with higher disease severity or a lower availability of non‐ED health services. The clusters are not all likely to have occurred by chance, and further investigation and intervention could occur to reduce ED presentations for AFF.
