Blood pressure-lowering treatment for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with atrial fibrillation: An individual participant data meta-analysis
ConclusionsIn this meta-analysis, we found that BP-lowering treatment reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events similarly in individuals with and without AF. Pharmacological BP lowering for prevention of cardiovascular events should be recommended in patients with AF.

Premature Atrial Contractions
Premature atrial contractions (PACs) can be seen in a broad spectrum of patients with and without heart disease and are often considered benign clinical phenomena. Recent studies have, however, shown an association between PACs and new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, and all-cause mortality.1,2 Simultaneously, reporting of the association between cardiac arrhythmias such as AF, atrial structural disease, and cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and dementia have expanded our understanding of the complex web of interaction between the heart and brain.

Fish, Cardiovascular Disease, and Mortality
Fish and shellfish (hereafter referred to as fish) are major sources of the dietary long-chain ω-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) and also contain other nutrients, such as vitamin D, riboflavin, iodine, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and iron. The summed results of observational studies of fish intake, randomized clinical tria ls of fish oil supplements, and associated mechanistic and experimental studies suggest that regular fish consumption may decrease the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary heart disease (CHD), with more uncertain effec...
