Atrial Cardiopathy: Redefining Stroke Risk Beyond Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke are dual epidemics in society, both associated with poor clinical outcomes, patient disability, and significant healthcare expenditure. The conditions are interrelated and share complex causal pathways. Risk stratification algorithms such as the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc score offer predictive value in stroke and systemic embolism risk in the AF population, however, have limitations. Recent evidence suggests that an intrinsically prothrombotic atrial substrate may precede and promote AF and lead to thromboembolic events independent of the arrhythmia, allowing for a window of inter...

Recurrent floating common carotid artery thrombus related to COVID-19: A case report
We describe the case of a 54-year-old man who developed, one week after the onset symptomatology of related to COVID-19 infection, an ischemic stroke, complicating a large intraluminal floating thrombus in the left common carotid artery. Despite surgery and anticoagulation, a local recurrence with other thrombotic complications occurred and the patient died.PMID:37120269 | PMC:PMC9826990 | DOI:10.1016/j.jdmv.2023.01.001

‘Pill-in-the-pocket’ Oral Anticoagulation Guided by Daily Rhythm Monitoring for Stroke Prevention in Patients with AF: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
AF is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is seen as a health epidemic.1 In Europe, one in three individua ls aged ≥55 years will develop AF at some point in the future.2 AF-related strokes account for approximately one-quarter of all strokes.3,4 Lifelong oral anticoagulation (OAC) remains the cornerstone of...

There is urgent need to treat atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk earlier, more intensively, and with greater precision: A review of current practice and recommendations for improved effectiveness
Am J Prev Cardiol. 2022 Aug 6;12:100371. doi: 10.1016/j.ajpc.2022.100371. eCollection 2022 Dec.ABSTRACTAtherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is epidemic throughout the world and is etiologic for such acute cardiovascular events as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, unstable angina, and death. ASCVD also impacts risk for dementia, chronic kidney disease peripheral arterial disease and mobility, impaired sexual response, and a host of other visceral impairments that adversely impact the quality and rate of progression of aging. The relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and risk for AS...

A likelihood swarm whale optimization based LeNet classifier approach for the prediction and diagnosis of patients with atherosclerosis disease
Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin. 2022 Sep 1:1-12. doi: 10.1080/10255842.2022.2116577. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCoronary Artery Disease (CAD) caused by atherosclerosis is having huge impact and is considered an epidemic one in all over the world. Cardio vascular disease (CVD) in 2019 records is about 32% of global death rate. Among these deaths, 85% were caused by heart attack and stroke. Atherosclerosis is regarded as a condition at which the arteries become hardened and narrowed due to the plaque accumulation around the walls of arteries. The disease growth is slow, asymptomatic, sudden cardiac arrest, myocardial...

Comprehensive Management of Cardiovascular Risk Factors for Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Circulation. 2022 Jan 10:CIR0000000000001040. doi: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000001040. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in patients with diabetes. Cardiovascular disease in diabetes is multifactorial, and control of the cardiovascular risk factors leads to substantial reductions in cardiovascular events. The 2015 American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association scientific statement, "Update on Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Light of Recent Evidence," highlighted the importance of modifying various risk factors resp...

Endothelial Cell CD36 Reduces Atherosclerosis and Controls Systemic Metabolism
Front Cardiovasc Med. 2021 Nov 23;8:768481. doi: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.768481. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTHigh-fat Western diets contribute to tissue dysregulation of fatty acid and glucose intake, resulting in obesity and insulin resistance and their sequelae, including atherosclerosis. New therapies are desperately needed to interrupt this epidemic. The significant idea driving this research is that the understudied regulation of fatty acid entry into tissues at the endothelial cell (EC) interface can provide novel therapeutic targets that will greatly modify health outcomes and advance health-related knowledge. Dysfunctional ...
