Takotsubo syndrome and stroke risk: A nationwide register-based study
Previous small-scale studies have indicated a short-term stroke incidence of 1.0 –1.3% following Takotsubo (syndrome). In this nationwide register-based study, we investigated the 90-day risk of ischemic stroke (IS) or transient ischemia attack (TIA) and mortality of patients with Takotsubo.

Angiotensin Receptor –Neprilysin Inhibitor Effects on Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Sacubitril-valsartan is an angiotensin receptor –neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) associated with a decreased risk of death and hospitalization for selected patients with heart failure (HF). However, its association with improved atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events remains unclear. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the assoc iation of ARNI with ASCVD events in patients with HF. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov for studies comparing ARNIs with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in terms of myocardial infarc...

The Pandemic of Coronary Artery Disease in the Sub-Saharan Africa: What Clinicians Need to Know
AbstractPurpose of ReviewCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally with an accelerated increase in CVD ‑related death in Africa and other low‑middle‑income countries. This review is aimed at highlighting the burden of coronary artery disease CAD, its peculiarities as well as challenges of management in sub-Saharan Africa.Recent FindingsRecent data revealed a shift from high incidence of CVDs associated with poverty and malnutrition (such as rheumatic heart disease) initially, which are now falling, to rising incidence of other non-communicable CVDs (such as hypertension, c...

Fractional Flow Reserve-Guided PCI or Coronary Bypass Surgery for 3-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease: 3-Year Follow-Up of the FAME 3 Trial
CONCLUSIONS: At 3-year follow-up, there was no difference in the incidence of the composite of death, MI, or stroke after FFR-guided PCI with current-generation drug-eluting stents compared with CABG. There was a higher incidence of MI after PCI compared with CABG, with no difference in death or stroke. These results provide contemporary data to allow improved shared decision-making between physicians and patients with 3-vessel coronary artery disease.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.CLINICALTRIALS: gov; Unique identifier: NCT02100722.PMID:37602376 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.065770

Association of remnant cholesterol with intracranial atherosclerosis in community-based population: The ARIC study
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated levels of remnant-C were connected to ICAD independent of LDL-C and traditional risk factors. The mechanisms of remnant-C association with ICAD probably offer insight into preventive risk-factor of ischemic stroke.PMID:37604080 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2023.107293

What is the diameter of a fibrin fiber?
CONCLUSION: We performed a systematic, multitechnique survey assessing fibrin fiber diameters under a range of biochemical conditions. The similarity in the diameter values obtained using SEM and superresolution imaging suggests that drying and fixation during SEM sample preparation do not dramatically alter fiber cross-sections. Congruence, under certain conditions, between diameter values obtained using SEM, superresolution fluorescence imaging, and turbidimetry demonstrates the feasibility of a fibrin diameter standardization project.PMID:37601015 | PMC:PMC10439396 | DOI:10.1016/j.rpth.2023.100285

State-of-the-Art Review: Alcohol Septal Ablation in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
The objective of this review is to provide the reader with a synopsis of percutaneous alcohol septal ablation (ASA) as an effective and time-honored treatment modality in patients with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).Recent findingsPatients who have medically refractory symptoms of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction may benefit from septal reduction therapy including septal myectomy or ASA. ASA involves infusion of alcohol into an epicardial septal artery supplying the basal septum to generate an iatrogenic infarction and, thus, reduce outflow tract obstruction due to targeted hypo...

Association between vertebrobasilar artery geometry and vertebrobasilar stenosis, recurrence, and death in posterior circulation stroke and transient ischemic attack
CONCLUSIONS: The geometric characteristics of the VBA are associated with vertebrobasilar stenosis, LAA stroke, 1-year recurrence, and death in posterior circulation stroke and TIA. VBA geometry may be used to stratify the risk of stroke and TIA in the posterior circulation.PMID:37598548 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2023.107306

Cardiac magnetic resonance left ventricular filling pressure is linked to symptoms, signs and prognosis in heart failure
ConclusionsRaised CMR-derived LVFP is strongly associated with symptoms and signs of HF. In addition, raised CMR-derived LVFP is independently associated with subsequent HF hospitalization and MACE.

Diagnostic ability of Japanese version of high bleeding risk criteria for ischemic outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction
AbstractThe Japanese version of high bleeding risk (J-HBR) criteria was domestically proposed to identify patients at HBR after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The applicability of J-HBR on bleeding events has been validated, while whether J-HBR predicts ischemic events is uncertain. This bi-center registry included 904 patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) undergoing primary PCI. Patients were stratified by the J-HBR major (1 point) and minor (0.5 point) criteria. Patients with J-HBR  ≥ 1 point were diagnosed as having HBR. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a com...

Prognostic value of the liver fibrosis marker fibrosis-5 index in patients with severe isolated tricuspid regurgitation: comparison with fibrosis-4 index
AbstractThe fibrosis-4 index (FIB4), a liver fibrosis maker, has been shown to be associated with the prognosis in patients with severe isolated tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Recent study showed that the fibrosis-5 index (FIB5), which was calculated by albumin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase and platelet count, had better prognostic value than FIB4 in patients with heart failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of FIB5 index for predicting prognosis in patients with severe isolated TR and compare the prognostic value between the FIB4 and the FIB5 in those patient...
