The J-shape Association between Total Bilirubin and Stroke in Older Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Multicenter Study
ConclusionsBoth lower and higher bilirubin levels may increase the risk of stroke in older persons with OSAS, and there was a J-type dose-response relationship. The risk of stroke was lowest when the TBil level was approximately 11.5µmol/L.

Associations of dietary patterns with risk of incident atrial fibrillation in the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS)
ConclusionsWhile specific dietary patterns have been associated with AF risk factors, our findings fail to show an association between diet patterns and AF development.

Direct Oral Anticoagulants: Laboratory Challenges and Antidotes
In conclusion, although DOACs make long-term anticoagulation safer and more convenient for patients, DOACs pose challenge to all healthcare providers involved in anticoagulation decisions. The key to correct patient management and optimal outcome therefore lies in education.PMID:36807818 | DOI:10.1055/a-1987-3559

Registry for Evaluating Healthy Life Expectancy and Long-Term Outcomes after Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in the Very Elderly (REHEALTH AF) study: rationale and design of a prospective, multicentre, observational, comparative study
Introduction Data are lacking on the extent to which patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who are aged ≥80 years benefit from ablation treatment. The question pertains especially to patients’ postablation quality of life (QoL) and long-term clinical outcomes. Methods and analysis We are initiating a prospective, registry-based, multicentre observational study that will include patients aged ≥80 years with non-valvular AF who choose to undergo treatment by catheter ablation and, for comparison, such patients who do not choose to undergo ablation (either according to their physician’s advice...

A Retrospective Study to Evaluate the Association Between the Glasgow Prognostic Score and Atrial Fibrillation, Stroke, and Mortality at 30 Days and at 1 Year After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
CONCLUSIONS GPS is an easy-to-calculate score that has reasonable diagnostic accuracy in determining the risk of POAF and stroke as well as 30-day and 1-year cardiovascular mortality.PMID:36718108 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.939283

Individual or Familial Diabetes in Relation to Eight Cardiovascular Diseases: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
Diabetes is associated with increased risk of certain cardiovascular diseases, yet the causality remains to be determined. Meanwhile, given that first-degree relatives share 50% of genes, the effect of familial diabetes is also worthy of attention. Therefore, we sought to investigate the causal relations of individual or familial diabetes with eight cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, cardiac death, pulmonary embolism, transient ischemic attack, and ischemic stroke.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Frailty in Stroke Patients: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review
ConclusionsFrailty was more prevalent in stroke patients. Female gender, advanced age, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, and National Institutes of Stroke Scale (NIHSS) admission scores were identified as risk factors for frailty in stroke patients. In the future, medical staff should pay attention to the early screening of frailty in high-risk groups and provide information on its prevention.

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 1487: Eating Behaviors, Lifestyle, and Ischemic Stroke: A Lebanese Case-Control Study
Conclusions: Ischemic stroke patients were more likely to have disordered eating attitudes and orthorexic behaviors. Furthermore, the MeD has been found to be beneficial in reducing ischemic stroke risk. Despite the study’s focus, outdoor pollution, waterpipe dependence, and passive smoking were linked to ischemic stroke. In summary, this review suggests that improving one’s nutritional status and making a few lifestyle changes are key stroke prevention and treatment methods.

Association between myeloperoxidase and the risks of ischemic stroke, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation: a Mendelian randomization study
The causality between myeloperoxidase (MPO) and cardiovascular disease still remains unclear. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to estimate the potential causal effect of MPO on the risks of ischemic stroke, ischemic stroke subtypes, heart failure (HF), and atrial fibrillation (AF).

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 8455: Diabetes, Hypertension, Atrial Fibrillation and Subsequent Stroke-Shift towards Young Ages in Brunei Darussalam
eiko Becher Southeast Asia harbors a young population of more than 600 million people. Socioeconomic transition within the last decades, driven by globalization and rapid economic growth, has led to significant changes in lifestyle and nutrition in many countries of this region. Hence, an increase in the number of non-communicable diseases is seen in most populations of Southeast Asia. Brunei Darussalam is the smallest country in this region, with a population of around 400,000 inhabitants. Vast hydrocarbon resources have transformed Brunei into a wealthy industrialized country within the last few decades. We compared ...
