Trends in the Longitudinal Utilization of Oral Anticoagulants Among Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid Insurance
Long-term oral anticoagulation (OAC) is recommended for stroke prevention for most patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and elevated stroke risk.1 While trends in initiation of OAC have been described,2,3 long-term trends in utilization of OAC in patients continuously followed for AF have not been adequately explored. Some healthcare systems adapted anticoagulation services to respond to disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic.4 We thus investigated how OACs were utilized in patients with newly diagnosed AF from 2018 to 2021 across 3 insurance types: Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial.

Rate of Change in 10-Year Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Its Implications for Primary Prevention
CONCLUSIONS: The temporal change in 10-year ASCVD risk over a period of 4 to 5 years reflects success or failure in controlling major cardiovascular risk factors and indicates the risk of future ASCVD events. The ∆10-year ASCVD risk/year can be used as an indicator of primary prevention and guide the application of preventive measures.PMID:37470768 | DOI:10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.122.20678

Sleep Duration Is Associated With Subclinical Carotid Plaque Burden
CONCLUSIONS: The association between long sleep and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis may explain prior associations between long sleep and stroke.PMID:37470161 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.122.041967

A Real-World Evaluation of Primary Medication Nonadherence in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Prescribed Oral Anticoagulants in the United States
ConclusionsMore than one-quarter of patients experienced PMN within 30 days of their initial prescription order. This rate decreased over a longer period, suggesting a delay in fills. Understanding the factors associated with PMN is warranted to develop effective interventions for improving OAC treatment rates in NVAF.

Association between Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Level and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Korean Adults: A Nationwide Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: We confirmed the incidence of CVD was increased in higher LDL-C range. The risk of CVD increased from ≥70 mg/dL of LDL-C in very high-risk and high-risk groups, and from ≥130 mg/dL of LDL-C in moderate-risk and low-risk groups in Korean adults.PMID:36727164 | DOI:10.4093/dmj.2021.0320

Cardiovascular Outcomes according to Comorbidities and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Korean People with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
CONCLUSION: For primary prevention of CVD in Korean adults with T2DM, it can be helpful to lower LDL-C targets when there are chronic kidney disease, HT, a long duration of diabetes mellitus, or three or more CV risk factors.PMID:36727163 | DOI:10.4093/dmj.2021.0344

Association between dietary inflammatory index and atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease in U.S. adults
CONCLUSION: Our study revealed a positive and non-linearly association between DII and ASCVD in U.S. adults. This relationship was more pronounced in females. The findings provide a reference for future research and diet recommendations.PMID:36687707 | PMC:PMC9849765 | DOI:10.3389/fnut.2022.1044329

Sex differences in stroke mortality in Thailand : A National cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to men, women were older at time of stroke-diagnosis and had higher burden of stroke risk-factors. Women also had higher mortality after stroke regardless of stroke-type or duration since stroke-onset. Post-IS, excess stroke-mortality in women was greatest during the in-hospital period, whereas excess stroke-mortality increased with time in women who had HS. No clear relationship was found between duration since stroke-onset and mortality in patients who had SUT.PMID:36435621 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2022.11.003
