Environmental and lifestyle risk factors for early-onset dementia: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: The literature on environmental risk factors for EOD has been considerably growing in recent years. Overall, it supports an association between some environmental and lifestyle factors with disease risk. However, additional high-quality research is required to confirm these relations and its causal nature (www.actabiomedica.it).PMID:36533768 | PMC:PMC9828922 | DOI:10.23750/abm.v93i6.13279

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Stroke Prevention for Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting around 2% of the population (1,2) and increasing the risk of stroke by 4 to 5 times (3). Anticoagulation with Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) such as Warfarin (4) or the newer Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) (4,5) reduces this risk by up to 60%. AF-related strokes also tend to be more severe and disabling (6).

Impact of health literacy and its interventions on health outcomes in those with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review protocol
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure and death. Health literacy, an aspect that falls within precision health, has been recognised as an important factor. We will be focusing on the impact of these interventions specifically to AF and its health outcomes. Methods and analysis This protocol is informed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols. The results will be reported in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses to determine the impacts of health literacy interventions on AF outco...

Temporal trends in anticoagulation management for US active duty personnel with atrial fibrillation
Conclusions This is the first report describing AC utilisation in US AD military members with AF. Young AD personnel with low stroke and bleeding risks do not commonly receive AC prescriptions. DOAC prescription rates are increasing and predominate over warfarin for AC indications.

Bi-atrial versus left atrial ablation for patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease and non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (ABLATION): rationale, design and study protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease (RMVD) and increase the risk of stroke and death. Bi-atrial or left atrial ablation remains controversial for treatment of AF during mitral valve surgery. The study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of bi-atrial ablation with those of left atrial ablation among patients with RMVD and persistent or long-standing persistent AF. Methods and analysis The ABLATION trial (Bi-atrial vs Left Atrial Ablation for Patients with RMVD and Non-paroxysmal AF) is a prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled study. The trial will ran...

Distribution of risk factors differs from coronary heart disease and stroke in China: a national population survey
Conclusions The distribution of risk factors for CHD and stroke were substantial differences. More specific prevention and control measures should be formulated according to the distribution differences of risk factors related to CVD.

Prevalence of atrial fibrillation in Northern Sri Lanka: a study protocol for a cross-sectional household survey
This study was approved by the Ethics Review Committee of Faculty of Medicine at University of Jaffna. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. Findings will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presentations at conferences. The findings will enable early treatment for new AF diagnoses and inform interventions to improve community-based management of AF in LMICs.

Cardiovascular-related conditions and risk factors in primary care for deprived communities before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: an observational study in Northern England
Conclusion Recorded CVD-related risk factors and conditions remained comparable before and during COVID-19. These are higher in the Deep End than in England and similar or lower than the non-Deep End, with a higher optimal statin prescribing rate. However, it was not possible to control for age and sex. More work is needed to estimate the consequences of the pandemic on disadvantaged communities and to compare whether the findings are replicated in other areas of deprivation.

Improving detection and management of atrial fibrillation after ischaemic stroke in Glasgow (IMPROVE-AF): A quality improvement project
DISCUSSION: The QIP has improved AF detection, reduced delays associated with conventional cardiac monitoring and prompted early initiation of oral anticoagulation.PMID:36369810 | DOI:10.1177/14782715221120133
