The Prognostic Implications of Living Alone on Long-Term Mortality in Patients with Chronic Coronary Syndrome after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Int Heart J. 2023;64(4):584-589. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-063.ABSTRACTLiving alone is associated with increased cardiac events and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, the prognostic impact of living alone with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) still remains unclear. In the present study, we examined the relationship between living alone and long-term mortality in patients with CCS who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Consecutive 830 patients with CCS who underwent PCI were enrolled and divided into 2 groups according to whether or not they were living alone at the time of admission (...

Mitral Annular Calcification and Thromboembolic Risk
Conclusions: The presence of MAC is associated with greater TE risk scores and a higher risk of vascular disease. It appears that adding MAC as a vascular disease parameter to TE risk scores may have benefits for patients by improving their predictive value.PMID:37511943 | PMC:PMC10381637 | DOI:10.3390/life13071568

New-onset atrial fibrillation after percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure: a meta-analysis
ConclusionPercutaneous PFO closure led to higher AF post-procedural incidence compared to the conservative strategy. Heterogeneity in surveillance and follow-up strategy limited the generalizability.Trial RegistrationRegistered on PROSPERO (CRD42022359945).Graphical abstract

Sex Differences in Atrial Fibrillation
AbstractPurpose of ReviewAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. The estimated lifetime risk of developing AF is higher in men; however, due to differences in life expectancy, the overall prevalence is higher among women, particularly in the older age group. Sex differences play an important role in the pathophysiology, presentation, and clinical outcomes of AF. Awareness of these differences minimizes the potential for disparities in AF management. Our review summarizes the current literature on sex differences in AF, including the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical sym...

A meta-analysis evaluating efficacy and safety of colchicine for prevention of major cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease
ConclusionsColchicine is an effective, relatively safe drug that could be considered for the treatment of CAD. However, we need to pay attention to the increasing occurrence of non-cardiovascular mortality and infection especially pneumonia possibly caused by colchicine.Graphical abstractEfficacy and safety of colchicine for patients with CAD.CAD coronary artery disease;RCTs randomized controlled trials;OR odds ratio;MACEs major adverse cardiovascular events;ACS acute coronary syndrome;NNT number needed to treat;NNH number needed to harm
