Simvastatin, but Not Atorvastatin, Is Associated with Higher Peak Rivaroxaban Serum Levels and Bleeding: an Asian Cohort Study from Singapore
ConclusionOur findings suggest that concomitant use of simvastatin with rivaroxaban may be associated with bleeding events in an Asian cohort. Further studies using physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling are required to investigate the drug-drug interactions between these drugs.

PPP1R12C Promotes Atrial Hypocontractility in Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with AF exhibit increased levels of PPP1R12C protein compared with controls. PPP1R12C overexpression in mice increases PP1c targeting to MLC2a and causes MLC2a dephosphorylation, which reduces atrial contractility and increases AF inducibility. These findings suggest that PP1 regulation of sarcomere function at MLC2a is a key determinant of atrial contractility in AF.PMID:37737016 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.322516

The prevalence and prognosis of asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis in a community-based population: Results based on high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging
CONCLUSIONS: We found that ICAD detected using HR-MRI increases the long-term risk of a first-ever ischemic stroke in a stroke-free population, suggesting that the current primary prevention protocol of stroke awaits further optimization.PMID:37738517 | DOI:10.1111/ene.16057

Association Between Calcium Supplementation and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke: A  Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Some observational studies and randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have reported an association between calcium supplementation and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Previous meta-analyses on the topic, based on data from RCTs and observational studies, have contradictory findings. This meta-analysis was conducted to determine the difference in associated risks of calcium supplementation with cardiovascular disease and stroke in RCTs.

Refining the Detection of Systemic Congestion in Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation: Echocardiography May Be  the Key
A growing number of studies have shown the independent prognostic value of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and the direct link between TR severity and adverse outcomes.1-4 However, TR not only affects prognosis but has also a negative impact on quality of life,5-7 decreasing functional capacity and increasing systemic congestion.7,8 The systolic blood backflow through the incompetent tricuspid valve reduces the forward stroke volume and cardiac output of the right ventricle (RV). Therefore, as TR worsens, pulmonary perfusion decreases, as does the venous return of oxygenated blood from the pulmonary circulation into the left ...

Oral Anticoagulation Use and Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in LAAOS III
CONCLUSIONS: The benefit of LAA occlusion was consistent whether patients were receiving OACs or not. LAA occlusion provides thromboembolism reduction in patients independent of OAC use.PMID:37732457 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.060315

A cardiovascular polypill for secondary stroke prevention in a tertiary centre in Ghana (SMAART): a phase 2 randomised clinical trial
Lancet Glob Health. 2023 Oct;11(10):e1619-e1628. doi: 10.1016/S2214-109X(23)00347-9.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: A cardiovascular polypill containing generic drugs might facilitate sustained implementation of and adherence to evidence-based treatments, especially in resource-limited settings. However, the impact of a cardiovascular polypill in mitigating atherosclerotic risk among stroke survivors has not been assessed. We aimed to compare a polypill regimen with usual care on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) regression after ischaemic stroke.METHODS: In SMAART, a phase 2 parallel, open-label, assessor-masked, randomised clini...

Angiography-based hemodynamic features predict recurrent ischemic events after angioplasty and stenting of intracranial vertebrobasilar atherosclerotic stenosis
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with intracranial vertebrobasilar atherosclerosis treated with PTAS, preprocedural prolonged TTP of the target vessel and shortened trans-stenotic TTP difference were associated with stroke relapse. Q-DSA-defined hemodynamic parameters provided incremental predictive value over conventional parameters for stroke recurrence.CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Quantitative DSA analysis enables intuitive observation and semi-quantitative evaluation of peri-therapeutic cerebral blood flow. More importantly, quantitative DSA-defined hemodynamic parameters have the potential for risk stratification of patients...

Association of thyroid peroxidase antibody with the RNF213 p.R4810K variant in ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated TPO-Ab levels may be significantly associated with presence of the RNF213 p. R4810K variant in IS/TIA patients. Thus, TPO-Ab may inherently modify IS/TIA development in RNF213 p. R4810K variant carriers.PMID:37722316 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2023.117281

Understanding the Link Between Adult Asthma and Coronary Artery Disease: A Narrative Review
Cureus. 2023 Aug 17;15(8):e43621. doi: 10.7759/cureus.43621. eCollection 2023 Aug.ABSTRACTAsthma is a common pathology worldwide that occurs due to chronic inflammation of the respiratory airways. Persistent pulmonary inflammation leads to low-grade systemic inflammation, influencing blood vessels and triggering coronary artery disease (CAD) events. This review's objectives include discussing the susceptible population for CAD, the mechanism underlying CAD creation in asthma patients, the characteristics of asthma, and the influence of anti-asthmatic medications on CAD development. Adult-onset asthma is strongly linked to ...
