Outcome of transcatheter atrial septal defect closure in a nationwide cohort
CONCLUSION: After TC closure of ASD, patients had a higher risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation and migraine than controls without ASD. As novel findings, we found an increased risk for ischemic heart disease, AV conduction disorders, and ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia.Key messagesEven though patients have an excellent overall prognosis after percutaneous ASD closure, the increased incidence of major comorbidities like atrial fibrillation and heart failure prompts more thorough lifelong follow-up.This study's novel findings revealed the increased risk for ischemic heart disease, AV conduction disorders, or ventricul...

The relationship between glucose intolerance status and risk of hospitalization during two decades of follow-up: Tehran lipid and glucose study
CONCLUSION: Pre-diabetes, NDM, and KDM were associated with increased hospitalization rates during long-term follow-up. Interventions such as lifestyle modification or pharmacological therapies aiming to slow down the pre-diabetes and fair control of diabetes might potentially decrease the rate of hospitalization.Key messagesNDM and KDM status both increased rate of all-cause hospitalization.CVD and T2DM complication were the most common cause of hospitalization among patients with diabetes.Hospitalization due to recurrent CHD was significantly higher in men with diabetes than their female counterparts.PMID:36382719 | DOI:...

Rhabdomyolysis due to warfarin and atorvastatin combination therapy in a patient with ischemic heart disease: (A drug interaction)
CONCLUSION: Statins are widely prescribed to patients with cardiovascular problems. Therefore, clinicians should pay attention to the patient's medical history, current prescribed doses, and drug interactions when adding new drugs or adjusting existing drugs.PMID:35242328 | PMC:PMC8861410 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103384

Clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of atrial fibrillation at a tertiary center of Pakistan - From a South-Asian perspective - A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: There was higher prevalence of chronic co-morbid conditions in the studied population leading to a higher CHA2DS2VASC Score. Sepsis and stroke were independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality.PMID:35003722 | PMC:PMC8718836 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.103128

Association between the liver fat score (LFS) and cardiovascular diseases in the national health and nutrition examination survey 1999-2016
CONCLUSIONS: NAFLD is usually asymptomatic, but this large study of a large general population shows that LFS is associated with CHD, CHF, angina pectoris, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Determining the LFS is worthwhile, as it identifies people with NAFLD, who may also be at increased cardiovascular risk.Key MessagesLiver fat score (LFS), a non-invasive marker of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD), congestive heart failure (CHF) and angina.LFS is also associated with increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.Determining the LFS is worthwhile as it ide...

The prevalence and prognostic significance of interatrial block in the general population.
Discussion IAB is a rather frequent finding in the general population. IAB is a risk factor for AF and is associated with an increased risk of stroke or TIA independently of associated AF. Key messagesBoth partial and advanced interatrial block are associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation in the general population.Advanced interatrial block is an independent risk factor for stroke and transient ischemic attack.The clinical significance of interatrial block is dependent on the subtype classification.

Direct, indirect and total bilirubin and risk of incident coronary heart disease in the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort.
CONCLUSION: DBIL was associated with a dose-response increased risk for CHD incidence. However, a U-shaped association existed between TBIL, IBIL and incident CHD risk. PMID: 28879775 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Diabetes and new-onset atrial fibrillation in a hypertensive population.
CONCLUSION: Diabetes was modestly associated with new-onset AF in hypertensive patients with no ischemic vascular disease. Among diabetic patients, only obesity reached significance in its association with this arrhythmia. PMID: 26939743 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
