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...

Po-02-165 cost implications of adherence to guideline-recommended anticoagulation among patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk of stroke
Caring for patients with AF is expensive. Estimated costs account for up to 3% of total annual heath care expenditure in many developed nations. Due to an aging population, the clinical and economic burden is expected to increase over the next decade. There are limited contemporary economic data to facilitate the development of cost-efficient strategies for improving the quality of AF care.

Emerging role of neutrophil extracellular traps in the complications of diabetes mellitus
Front Med (Lausanne). 2022 Aug 23;9:995993. doi: 10.3389/fmed.2022.995993. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTImmune dysfunction is widely regarded as one of the central tenants underpinning the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications. When discussing immunity, the role of neutrophils must be accounted for: neutrophils are the most abundant of the circulating immune cells and are the first to be recruited to sites of inflammation, where they contribute to host defense via phagocytosis, degranulation, and extrusion of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs are composed of DNA associated with nuclear and c...

Health benefits of astaxanthin against age-related diseases of multiple organs: A comprehensive review
Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr. 2022 Jun 16:1-66. doi: 10.1080/10408398.2022.2084600. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAge-related diseases are associated with increased morbidity in the past few decades and the cost associated with the treatment of these age-related diseases exerts a substantial impact on social and health care expenditure. Anti-aging strategies aim to mitigate, delay and reverse aging-associated diseases, thereby improving quality of life and reducing the burden of age-related pathologies. The natural dietary antioxidant supplementation offers substantial pharmacological and therapeutic effects against various dise...

Pyruvate Kinase M2: a novel regulator of adipogenesis
FASEB J. 2022 May;36 Suppl 1. doi: 10.1096/fasebj.2022.36.S1.L7944.ABSTRACTObesity is the cornerstone of many other conditions, with far-reaching impacts on numerous body systems and quality of life. Obesity is closely and likely causally associated with metabolic syndrome and consequent atherosclerosis, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes as well as diseases such as cancer and osteoarthritis. Recent studies suggest exploring the possibility of activating brown adipose tissue as a potential anti-obesity strategy. However, understanding the mechanisms underlying the processes of brown adipogenesis and browning is fou...

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 ...

Comparison of Frequency of Atrial Fibrillation in Blacks versus Whites and the Utilization of Race in a Novel Risk Score
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia in the world, with over 30 million people affected as of 2010.1 The number of patients projected to develop AF will double over the next decade.2 AF is independently associated with an increased risk of stroke,3 heart failure (HF),4 and mortality.5 It is not surprising, thus, that AF assumes a sizeable share of health care expenditure and its magnitude is reaching epidemic proportions.6 Blacks despite having a higher prevalence of traditional risk factors for AF, such as HF, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus, have been shown to have a lower incidence of AF.

Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Roundtable: Australian Implementation and Research Priorities
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, is the leading cause of death and disease burden globally [1]. CVD resulted in>1.1 million hospitalisations in 2015-16, and incurs the highest level of health care sector expenditure in Australia (11-12% of total health expenditure) [2]. CHD accounts for the greatest single disease morbidity (>500,000 bed-days annually) and nearly one fifth of all deaths with a total cost of $1.14 billion annually [2]. Over 65,000 Australians experience an acute coronary event (heart attack or unstable angina) each year [3], and, importantly, around a third of...

Evolving concepts in atrial fibrillation epidemiology: Advancing knowledge about cardiovascular health in sub-Saharan Africa
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia presenting in the daily clinical practice [1]. In the last 50  years, AF prevalence and incidence have been shown to constantly increase, progressively becoming a worldwide healthcare issue, with relevant public health expenditure, both in terms of clinical management and consequences related to the main clinical adverse events related to AF (i.e. stroke, ma jor bleeding, cardiovascular events) [1,2].

Abstract 205: Stroke Risk and Symptom Recognition Post Cardiac Catheterization Session Title: Poster Session PM
Over 1.4 million cardiac catheterization procedures (CCPs) take place yearly. CPP related stroke incidence in 1973 was reported as 0.23%. CCPs are invasive in nature with complications occurring due to unintentional trauma to preexisting atherosclerotic aortic plaques or thrombus formation at catheter/guidewire tips. Less common causes of ischemic stroke are air, left ventricular clot, hypotension, arterial dissection, fractured guidewire. Transient neurological deficits have been reported following high-osmolar contrast injection into carotid/vertebral arteries. With improved practice, current stroke incidence is 0.06%. P...

Burden of Catastrophic Health Expenditures for Acute Myocardial Infarction and Stroke Among Uninsured in the United States.
Abstract Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke are unanticipated major healthcare events that require emergent and expensive care. Given the potential financial implications of AMI and stroke among uninsured patients, we sought to evaluate rates of catastrophic healthcare expenditures (CHEs), defined as expenses beyond financial means, in a period before the implementation of insurance expansion and protections in the Affordable Care Act.(1).

Update on atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and accounts for one-third of hospitalizations for rhythm disorders in the United States [1]. Atrial fibrillation is of public health importance and profoundly increases morbidity, mortality, and health-related expenditures. Morbidities include outcomes such as heart failure, stroke and the deleterious effects on quality of life (QOL), functional status, and cognition. In the United States and Western Europe, the aging population and the accompanying rise in the prevalence of AF have magnified its toll on morbidity and healthcare costs.

Shift work and risk of stroke: A meta-analysis
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality which is accounted for 11.8% of total deaths worldwide [1]. On average, every 4min, someone died of a stroke. Stroke accounted for ≈1 of every 20 deaths in the United States, with serious consequences for health care expenditure [2]. It has been estimated that the total direct medical expenditure on stroke is at least $71.6 billion in 2012 and will be $184.1 billion in 2030, this creates a major public health burden [3]. Moreover, approximately 10% of all strokes occur in individuals 18 to 50years of age, which is the main productivity [4].
