Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Is Associated With Circadian and Other Variability in Embolus Detection
Conclusions: Embolism associated with asymptomatic carotid stenosis shows circadian variation with highest rates 4–6 h before midday. This corresponds with peak circadian incidence of stroke and other vascular complications. These and ASED Study results show that monitoring frequency, duration, and time of day are important in ES detection. Introduction Transcranial Doppler (TCD) detected microembolism in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) may help stratify the risk of stroke and other arterial disease complications in persons with advanced (≥60%) asymptomatic carotid stenosis. If so, this t...

Correlation Between Intracranial Arterial Calcification and Imaging of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Conclusion: Intracranial artery calcification is common in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and the intracranial carotid artery is most frequently affected. Intracranial arterial calcifications might be associated with imaging markers of SVD and are highly correlated with WMHs, lacunes, and CMBs. Quantification of calcification on CT provides additional information on the pathophysiology of SVD. Intracranial arterial calcification could act as a potential marker of SVD. Introduction Atherosclerosis is a systemic vascular process that is considered a major cause of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular di...

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.

Heterogeneity of outcomes within diabetic patients with atrial fibrillation on edoxaban: a sub-analysis from the ETNA-AF Europe registry
ConclusionsIn a real-world cohort of AF patients on edoxaban, diabetes requiring insulin therapy, rather than the presence of diabetes per se, appears to be an independent factor affecting the occurrence of thromboembolic events during follow-up. Regardless of the diabetes type, diabetic patients had a lower survival compared with those without diabetes.Graphical abstract

Intensity of peri-operative glycemic control and postoperative outcomes in patients with diabetes: a meta-analysis
Conclusions: Pooled results suggest that in patients with diabetes, a moderate peri-operative glycemic target (150–200mg/dl [5.6–8.3mmol/l]) is associated with reduction in postoperative mortality and stroke compared with a liberal target (>200mg/dl [11.1mmol/l]), whereas no significant additional benefit was found with more strict glycemic control (

Sleep Apnea and the Effects on Your Health
Sleep is not always a benign state. Snoring may not be harmless. In fact, a related condition that affects breathing during sleep may have important consequences. This disorder, sleep apnea, can have significant effects on your overall health. There are certain symptoms and signs associated with obstructive sleep apnea that can affect day-to-day life. Excessive daytime sleepiness, mood complaints like anxiety or depression, or difficulty with thinking may undermine concentration or memory. However, untreated sleep apnea can have other unwanted side effects. Sleep apnea may increase blood pressure, lead to insulin resista...

Outcome of left ventricular surgical remodelling after the STICH trial ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that patients, who are candidates for LVSR, have mostly akinetic areas and CIMR requiring surgical correction and are severely symptomatic. Severe LVDD is common and, along with emergency status, is the most important risk factor for early and late outcome.

Weight-Loss Surgery Dramatically Lowers the Risk of Early Death, a New Study Finds
For decades, doctors have known that losing weight can significantly lower risk of heart disease and by extension, reduce the risk of dying from heart-related events such as stroke and heart attack. Studies have shown that both lifestyle changes including diet and exercise as well as medications and weight-loss surgery can improve heart disease risk factors such as obesity and diabetes, for example, but data supporting the benefits of any of these approaches in actually lowering rates of heart events such as heart attack and atrial fibrillation, or in reducing early deaths from heart disease, have been less robust. The dat...

Good Fat, Bad Fat The Increasingly Complex Interplay of Adipose Tissue and the Cardiovascular System ∗
Obesity is present in more than 30% of adults in the United States and is a known risk factor for a variety of cardiovascular problems, including coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, and stroke (1). Obesity is considered to be present when there is an excess mass of adipose tissue in the body. There is now widespread acceptance of the notion that regional fat stores might have specific local or systemic effects. The best-known example of a local fat depot with a specific effect is the case of excess fat within the abdominal cavity, which seems to contribute to insulin resistance, raised b...
