One-Year Clinical Outcome in Middle Eastern Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: The Jordan Atrial Fibrillation (JoFib) Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study of Middle Eastern AF patients has reported high adherence to OACs. The use of OACs was associated with a lower risk for all-cause mortality. One-year rates of stroke and major bleeding events were comparable to those reported from other regions in the world.PMID:35462945 | PMC:PMC9020983 | DOI:10.1155/2022/4240999

This Vitamin Can Save Your Brain
Your brain has amazing abilities. And it can heal itself. That’s not something you’re likely to hear from mainstream medicine — especially if you or a loved one suffer from the effects of stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or another form of dementia. Here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I’ve seen many people with brain damage. And, sadly, most have been deemed “hopeless” by so-called medical experts. But I can tell you there is nothing hopeless about dementia — no matter what its cause. With the right nutrients, there are times when brain damage can be reversed. And now recent research from...

Drinking Water Salinity and Raised Blood Pressure: Evidence from a Cohort Study in Coastal Bangladesh
Conclusions: DWS is an important source of daily sodium intake in salinity-affected areas and is a risk factor for hypertension. Considering the likely increasing trend in coastal salinity, prompt action is required. Because MAR showed variable effects, alternative technologies for providing reliable, safe, low-sodium fresh water should be developed alongside improvements in MAR and evaluated in “real-life” salinity-affected settings. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP659 Received: 01 February 2016 Revised: 14 June 2016 Accepted: 31 August 2016 Published: 30 May 2017 Address correspondence to Dr. Pauline Scheelbeek, ...

10 Ways to Keep Your Heart Healthy
No one ever had fun visiting the cardiologist. ­Regardless of how good the doc might be, it’s always a little scary thinking about the health of something as fundamental as the heart. But there are ways to take greater control—to ensure that your own heart health is the best it can be—even if you have a family history of cardiovascular disease. Although 50% of cardiovascular-disease risk is genetic, the other 50% can be modified by how you live your life, according to Dr. Eugenia Gianos, director of Women’s Heart Health at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. “This means you can greatly ...

Comparison of short-term clinical outcomes between low-dose prasugrel and clopidogrel as part of triple antithrombotic therapy in patients requiring oral anticoagulant therapy and percutaneous coronary intervention
ConclusionsCombination of low-dose prasugrel and DOAC was associated with lower incidence of MI, ischemic stroke, and blood transfusion. Low-dose prasugrel may be feasible as part of triple therapy in patients undergoing PCI.

Systematic review of efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists in left ventricular thrombus
ConclusionsCompared with VKAs, DOACs significantly reduce the risk of bleeding events and stroke in LVT patients, but mortality was similar in both groups. The advantages are apparent not only in patients belonging to the predominantly white residential areas such as North American and European regions but also in patients with LVT due to IHD. DOACs show promising effects in treating LVT compared with VKAs.

What to Know if Your Doctor Put You on Statins to Lower Cholesterol
High cholesterol is a prime example of having too much of a good thing. Our bodies naturally make this substance in the liver and then transport it throughout the body for multiple functions, including hormone regulation, cell tissue regeneration, and vitamin absorption. When the system is working well, cholesterol can boost overall health. But when a certain type called low-density lipoprotein—LDL, sometimes dubbed the “bad” kind—is overproduced, not only does it block the “good” kind called high-density lipoprotein (HDL), but it can also begin to accumulate in the arteries and form thi...

Outcomes of Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Device Implantation in Patients with Rheumatic Atrial Fibrillation
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) disease have a 17-fold increased risk of stroke, and in comparison, those with AF without RHD have a 5-fold increased risk of stroke (1). However, the contemporary trials of pharmaceutical and device therapies have systematically excluded patients with AF and RHD. While Vitamin K antagonist remains the favored approach to mitigate stroke risk in patients with RHD and AF, the optimal strategy for preventing stroke in patients with RHD-associated AF who cannot tolerate oral anticoagulation therapy remains unknown (1).
