Does aspirin have a place in primary cardiovascular prevention by the polypill  ? Simulation study on a realistic virtual population
CONCLUSION: Until proven otherwise, aspirin has only a limited place in individuals between 35 and 65 years without a cardiovascular history. We showed how simulating therapeutic strategies on a realistic virtual population could be used for best applying available evidence.PMID:36841655 | DOI:10.1016/j.therap.2023.01.011

Comparison of Treatment Rates of Depression After Stroke Versus Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Data
Conclusions Despite the high frequency of depression after stroke and MI and the existence of efficacious treatment strategies, people often remain untreated. Innovative strategies are needed to increase the use of effective antidepressive interventions in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Heterogeneous effects of patient choice and hospital competition on mortality
Publication date: Available online 9 September 2018Source: Social Science & MedicineAuthor(s): Giuseppe Moscelli, Hugh Gravelle, Luigi Siciliani, Rita SantosAbstractWe examine whether the relaxation of constraints on patient choice of hospital in the English National Health Service in 2006 led to greater changes in mortality for hospitals which faced more rivals before the choice reform. We use patient level data from 2002 to 2010 for three high volume emergency conditions with high mortality risk: acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (288,279 patients), hip fracture (91,005 patients), stroke (214,103 patients). Since mortali...

Cumulative childhood adversity and adult cardiometabolic disease: A meta-analysis.
Conclusions: The literature suggests that cumulative childhood adversity is modestly related to adult cardiometabolic disease, with effects somewhat stronger for CVD clinical outcomes. The absence of a consistent operational and conceptual definition of adversity and paucity of prospective designs temper the conclusions. It is time for further evaluation of the types and timing of childhood events that have maximal impact on adult cardiometabolic disease. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)

APOE e4-genotype and lifestyle interaction on cognitive performance: Results of the LIFE-Adult-study.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the dementia risk variant of the APOE gene does not alter the association between lifestyle factors and cognitive performance in the general population aged 40- to 79-years-old. However, as lifestyle factors impact cognitive aging, research efforts should focus on establishing effective interventions promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors to counteract adverse cognitive aging processes.

Chronic use of proton pump inhibitors, adverse events and potential biological mechanisms: A translational analysis.
Abstract Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most frequently prescribed drugs. Even if PPI are usually considered as safe, there is a growing concern for a range of adverse effects of chronic PPI therapy often in the absence of appropriate indications. We propose, after a summary of renal, cardiovascular and neurological complications (dementia, chronic kidney disease, myocardial infarction and stroke), an integrative overview of the potential biological mechanisms involved. Eleven positive pharmacoepidemiological studies, mainly based on health insurance database linkage to hospital database, reported an ...

Childhood Maltreatment and Health Impact: The Examples of Cardiovascular Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Adults
Child maltreatment is associated with increased risk of an array of mental and physical health problems. We reviewed studies examining associations of child maltreatment, assessed either alone or in combination with other adversities, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes. A search was conducted in PubMed for relevant studies until December 2015. Forty publications met inclusion criteria. Consistent positive associations were noted across a range of childhood adversities. Child maltreatment was associated with CVD (myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic heart disease, coronary heart disease) in 91.7% of st...

Stability and change in disease prestige: A comparative analysis of three surveys spanning a quarter of a century
Publication date: Available online 14 March 2017 Source:Social Science & Medicine Author(s): Dag Album, Lars E.F. Johannessen, Erik B. Rasmussen In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of three survey studies of disease prestige in medical culture. The studies were conducted in 1990, 2002 and 2014 using the same research design. In each of the three rounds, a sample of Norwegian physicians was asked to rate a set of 38 diseases on a scale from 1 to 9 according to the prestige they believed health personnel in general would award them. The results show a remarkable stability in the prestige rank order over...

Depression and Anxiety Screens as Predictors of 8-Year Incidence of Myocardial Infarction and Stroke in Primary Care Patients
We examined depression and anxiety screens, and their individual items, as predictors of incident hard CVD events, myocardial infarction, and stroke for 8 years in a diverse sample of 2041 older primary care patients initially free of CVD. At baseline, participants completed self-report depression and anxiety screens. Data regarding CVD events were obtained from an electronic medical record system and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services analytic files. Results: During follow-up, 683 (33%) experienced a CVD event. Cox proportional hazards models—adjusted for demographic and CVD risk factors—revealed that a p...

Childhood Socioeconomic Circumstances, Inflammation, and Hemostasis Among Midlife Women: Study of Women's Health Across the Nation
Conclusions: Women raised in lower SES families had elevated markers of inflammation and hemostasis, in part, due to elevated BMI and education in adulthood.

Well-Being and Chronic Disease Incidence: The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
Conclusions: The extent of association between well-being and incident disease risk is not consistent across different chronic diseases. Future studies should examine the cause of this variation.

Attributing heart attack and stroke to "Old Age": Implications for subsequent health outcomes among older adults
This study assessed the extent to which older adults attribute a recent heart attack/stroke to "old age," and examined consequences for subsequent lifestyle behavior and health-care service utilization. Community-dwelling adults (N = 57, ages 73–98 years) were interviewed about their heart attack/stroke, and an objective health registry provided data on health-care utilization over a 3-year period. Endorsement of "old age" as a cause of heart attack/stroke negatively predicted lifestyle behavior change, and positively predicted frequency of physician visits and likelihood of hospitalization over the subsequent 3 year...

Statins Use in Elderly Patients.
Abstract The risk of cardiovascular disease in elderly is significantly higher than in young subjects; paradoxically some treatments that have proven their efficacy in reducing cardiovascular risk are often under prescribed in this age group. The benefits of statins in secondary cardiovascular prevention are well established in patients <80 years. In primary prevention, these drugs reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke, but their effects on cardiovascular mortality remain uncertain. In very elderly patients, there are no randomized trials relative to the impact of statins on morbi-mortality in pri...

The Association Between Insomnia and Increased Future Cardiovascular Events: A Nationwide Population-Based Study
Objectives: Insomnia may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the reported magnitude of the associations between sleep characteristics and CVD is inconsistent. We investigated the association between insomnia and the risk of developing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and/or stroke by using a nationwide, population-based cohort database in Taiwan. Methods: The analyses were conducted using information from a random sample of 1 million people enrolled in the nationally representative Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. A total of 44,080 individuals who were 20 years or older, including 22,...
