Daylight Saving Time transitions and Cardiovascular Disease in Andalusia: Time Series Modeling and Analysis Using Visibility Graphs
Angiology. 2022 Sep 14:33197221124779. doi: 10.1177/00033197221124779. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study aimed to determine whether transitions both to and from daylight saving time (DST) led to an increase in the incidence of hospital admissions for major acute cardiovascular events (MACE). To support the analysis, natural visibility graphs (NVGs) were used with data from Andalusian public hospitals between 2009 and 2019. We calculated the incidence rates of hospital admissions for MACE, and specifically acute myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke during the 2 weeks leading up to, and 2 weeks after, the ...

Outcomes and Readmission in Patients With Retinal Artery Occlusion (from the Nationwide Readmission Database)
Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is an ophthalmologic emergency, leading to sudden vision loss. Understanding its risk factors and garnering information on the incidence of adverse events can provide helpful information on the cost-effective evaluation of patients and secondary prevention. In this retrospective cohort study, we used the Nationwide Readmission Database from 2016 to 2018 and queried the database to identify patients with RAO. The clinical outcomes were cumulative incidence of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, death (in-hospital and 6 months after discharge), resource utilization, all-cause readmission at 6 m...

Treatment patterns and use of healthcare resources of patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and hypercholesterolemia and patients with familial hypercholesterolemia in Spain: Protocol of the Reality study
This study aims to analyze the treatment patterns and use of healthcare resources of ASCVD and FH in Spain. The prevalence of these disorders will also be estimated. Due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with these diseases, it is expected that our study will provide useful information for healthcare systems and decision makers to improve the management of these disabling diseases.PMID:35990965 | PMC:PMC9386132 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2022.966049

Comparison of In-Hospital Outcomes After Insertion of Watchman Device in Men Versus Women (from the National Inpatient Data)
This study aimed to analyze the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data to evaluate gender disparities and further assess its impact on medical decision-making. The NIS data for 16,505 patients who underwent left atrial appendage occlusion with the Watchman device from 2016 to 2017 was used to perform a cross-sectional analysis.

Premature acute coronary syndrome: understanding the early onset
Introduction Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is less frequent in young adults, but it has become a significant health problem, associated with the increasing prevalence of modifiable risk factors. Objectives To characterize patients admitted with premature ACS, comparing with those with nonpremature ACS. Methods We performed a retrospective study encompassing patients of the Portuguese Registry (ProACS), comparing two groups: one composed of men less than 55 and women less than 65 years old; and other with men ≥55 and women ≥65 years old at the ACS admission. The primary endpoint was the composite o...

Association of immunoglobulin G N-glycosylation with carotid atherosclerotic plaque phenotypes and actual clinical cardiovascular events: a study protocol for a longitudinal prospective cohort study
BMJ Open. 2022 Jul 22;12(7):e058922. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2021-058922.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Immune-inflammatory response plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. IgG N-glycosylation is reported to be associated with the 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score and subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the relationship of IgG glycosylation with actual clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and plaque phenotypes has rarely been investigated. Therefore, this study aims to understand whether IgG glycosylation traits are correlated with actual clinical CVD events and plaque phenotypes.METH...

A retrospective observational study of serum uric acid and in-hospital mortality in acute type A aortic dissection
Sci Rep. 2022 Jul 19;12(1):12289. doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-16704-3.ABSTRACTThere is currently insufficient evidence of correlation between on-admission serum uric acid and in-hospital mortality of patients with acute type A aortic dissection. Thus, this study analysed the relation between serum uric acid and in-hospital deaths in patients with acute type A aortic dissection. A total of 1048 patients with acute type A aortic dissection participated in this study between January 2010 and December 2018. The independent variable was on-admission serum uric acid, whilst the dependent variable was in-hospital deaths. The covariat...

Methods for stroke severity assessment by chart review in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study
Sci Rep. 2022 Jul 19;12(1):12338. doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-16522-7.ABSTRACTStroke severity is the most important predictor of post-stroke outcome. Most longitudinal cohort studies do not include direct and validated measures of stroke severity, yet these indicators may provide valuable information about post-stroke outcomes, as well as risk factor associations. In the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, stroke severity data were retrospectively collected, and this paper outlines the procedures used and shares them as a model for assessment of stroke severity in other large epidemiologic studies. Trained physic...

Impact of Hospital Volume on Utilization and Outcomes of Sentinel Cerebral Protection System During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Stroke remains a serious complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with a significant impact on long-term morbidity and mortality. Although the etiology of strokes is multifactorial, most are a result of embolization of debris during the procedure.1 Multiple devices have emerged aiming to reduce the incidence of stroke through cerebral embolic protection. The Sentinel cerebral protection system (CPS) is the only Food and Drug Administration-approved device in the United States.

A case of cardioembloic stroke with wall-eyed bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (WEBINO) syndrome
Rinsho Shinkeigaku. 2022 Jun 24. doi: 10.5692/clinicalneurol.cn-001701. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHere, we report a case of an 85-year-old man who presented sudden onset of diplopia, dysarthria, and gait disturbance. On admission, he exhibited bilateral adduction palsy, convergence palsy, and binocular exotropia in the forward gaze showing wall-eyed bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (WEBINO) syndrome. He had a history of chronic nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. DWI-MRI revealed acute ischemic lesions in the paramedian pontine tegmentum, lower midbrain, both cerebellar hemispheres, and left frontal cortex. He was t...

Effects of cardiac surgical support on long-term outcomes of emergent or complex percutaneous coronary intervention cases: a sub-analysis of the SHINANO 5-year registry
AbstractSignificant improvements in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) technology have enabled cardiovascular procedures to be performed without onsite cardiac surgery facilities. However, little is known about the association between onsite cardiac surgical support and long-term outcomes of PCI, particularly among emergent and complex cases. We investigated whether the presence or absence of cardiovascular surgery affects the long-term prognosis after PCI, emergent and complex elective cases. The SHINANO 5-year registry, a prospective, observational, and multicenter cohort study registry in Nagano, Japan, consecutiv...

Matched comparison of catheter ablation versus conservative management for atrial fibrillation
AbstractIt is still controversial whether catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) could improve clinical outcomes in general AF population. Among 4398 patients with diagnosis of AF in the outpatient department of Kyoto University Hospital between January 2005 and March 2015, we identified 537 pairs of patients who received first-time catheter ablation (ablation group) or conservative management (conservative group), matched for age, gender, AF duration, AF type, AF symptoms, and previous heart failure (HF). The primary outcome measure was a composite of cardiovascular death, HF hospitalization, ischemic stroke, or m...
