Rhabdomyolysis due to warfarin and atorvastatin combination therapy in a patient with ischemic heart disease: (A drug interaction)

Association of ischemic stroke onset time with presenting severity, acute progression, and long-term outcome: A cohort study
ConclusionsNight-onset strokes, compared with day-onset strokes, are associated with higher presenting neurologic severity, more frequent END, and worse 3-month functional outcome. These findings suggest that circadian time of onset is an important additional variable for inclusion in epidemiologic natural history studies and in treatment trials of neuroprotective and reperfusion agents for acute ischemic stroke.

Prognostic indicators for the onset of ischaemic versus haemorrhagic stroke in stable coronary artery disease
The incidence of stroke may be increased in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to investigate the specific risk factors for the development of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke in stable CAD patients. Patients with stable CAD were prospectively enrolled for future cardiovascular events in Taiwan. All the patients had received coronary interventions and were stable for least 1 month before enrolment. The incidence of ischaemic stroke was identified and confirmed by telephone and hospital records. Baseline characteristics, including demographic data, lipid profiles, medications, and biomarkers for pot...

Incidence and predictors of progression of carotid atherosclerosis in a low-income Chinese population-a prospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first longitudinal study to explore the incidence and predictors of CAS progression in a low-income rural population in China with a high prevalence of stroke. More detailed and precise strategies for prevention and intervention of CAS progression are necessary, especially in low-income rural areas in China.PMID:34696679 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2021.1997483

Colchicine-new horizons for an ancient drug
Eur J Intern Med. 2021 Oct 14:S0953-6205(21)00332-0. doi: 10.1016/j.ejim.2021.10.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTColchicine is an old, inexpensive, and relatively safe anti-inflammatory drug traditionally used in gout and over the last 50 years in familial Mediterranean fever. A search of all high-hierarchy studies (randomized controlled trials [RCTs], systematic reviews and meta-analysis of RCTs) over the last 20 years revealed myriad other evidence-based applications. Colchicine seems efficacious in the treatment of acute pericarditis and prevention of recurrences and the prevention of postcardiac injury syndrome and ...

Effect of high dose statin preloading on TIMI flow in patients presenting with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
ConclusionHigh intensity statin loading before primary PCI resulted in improved post-procedural TIMI flow, MBG, complete ST-segment resolution and ejection fraction as measured by M-mode but did not decrease incidence of in-hospital MACE.
