Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Diabetes and Severe Aortic Stenosis at High Risk for Surgery An Analysis of the PARTNER Trial (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valve)
ConclusionsAmong patients with diabetes and severe symptomatic AS at high risk for surgery, this post-hoc stratified analysis of the PARTNER trial suggests there is a survival benefit, no increase in stroke, and less renal failure from treatment with transcatheter AVR compared with surgical AVR.

Extending the role of peritoneal dialysis: can we win hearts and minds?
Conclusion Both these applications require substantial further clinical evaluation before they can justify wider adoption but their potential to alleviate morbidity on a large and potentially highly cost-effective scale demands further study.

HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) for people with chronic kidney disease not requiring dialysis.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most frequent cause of death in people with early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), for whom the absolute risk of cardiovascular events is similar to people who have existing coronary artery disease. This is an update of a review published in 2009, and includes evidence from 27 new studies (25,068 participants) in addition to the 26 studies (20,324 participants) assessed previously; and excludes three previously included studies (107 participants). This updated review includes 50 studies (45,285 participants); of these 38 (37,274 participants) were met...

Higher Mortality Due to Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Dialysis Patients: A Comparison with the General Population in Japan
Abstract Cerebrovascular diseases, including intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, remain prevalent causes of morbidity and mortality among dialysis patients. Their mortality rate for cerebrovascular diseases is roughly three times higher than that in the general population. However, whether mortality rates for all subtypes of cerebrovascular diseases are equally higher has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to determine the mortality rate for each stroke subtype, comparing dialysis patients and the general population in Japan. We used mortality data reported by the Japanese...

Basic Data From 176 Studies on the Immediate Outcome After Aortic Valve Replacement With or Without Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Objective: The aim of this study was to summarize the immediate outcome after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with or without coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.Setting: University hospitals.Participants: Participants were 683,286 patients who underwent AVR with or without CABG. Patients undergoing other major cardiac procedures were excluded from this analysis.Interventions: AVR with or without CABG.Measurements and Main Results: Operative mortality after AVR with or without concomitant CABG was 4.3%, stroke 2.1%, pacemaker implantation 5.9%, and dialysis 2.2%. After isolated...

CKD Ups Stroke, Embolic Risk in Patients With AFCKD Ups Stroke, Embolic Risk in Patients With AF
The effect is especially great in patients on dialysis; warfarin anticoagulation still reduced mortality, however, at least in patients with non-end-stage renal disease. Heartwire

Dabigatran and Rivaroxaban Use in Atrial Fibrillation Patients on Hemodialysis.
CONCLUSIONS: -More dialysis patients are being started on dabigatran and rivaroxaban, even when their use is contraindicated and there are no studies to support the benefits outweigh the risks of these drugs in ESRD. PMID: 25595139 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Correlates and outcomes of warfarin initiation in kidney transplant recipients newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation
In the kidney transplant population with atrial fibrillation (AF), evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of warfarin treatment is lacking. We used fee-for-service Medicare claims to identify kidney transplant recipients with newly diagnosed AF from the United States Renal Data System. Warfarin use within 30 days of AF diagnosis was ascertained from Medicare Part D prescription claims (2007–11) or using a validated algorithm (1997–2011). The study end points were (i) the composite of death, stroke or gastrointestinal bleed, (ii) death and (iii) death-censored graft failure. Warfarin user and non-user g...

Comparison of Different Inter-dialytic Intervals Among Hemodialysis Patients on Their Echocardiogram-Based Cardiovascular Parameters
Conclusions In a selective Japanese outpatient population on maintenance hemodialysis, there were no differences in resting cardiovascular function measured by echocardiography at three different IDTs. However, exercise-induced afterload mismatch assessed by the changes in Ea, SV, SW and SW/PVA efficiency was most pronounced in individuals following the long IDT compared with other IDTs. Our findings report potential pathophysiologic echocardiographic parameters that attempt to explain why cardiovascular events are highest on the day after the long IDT compared to other IDTs in dialysis patients.

Prevalence and correlates of functional dependence among maintenance dialysis patients
Abstract Functional dependence is an important determinant of longevity and quality of life. The purpose of the current study was to determine the prevalence and correlates of functional dependence among patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving maintenance dialysis. We enrolled 148 participants with ESRD from five clinics. Functional status, as measured by basic and instrumental activities of daily living (ADL, IADL), was ascertained by validated questionnaires. Functional dependence was defined as needing assistance in at least one of seven IADLs or at least one of four ADLs. Demographic characteristics, c...

Randomized Controlled Trials of Blood Pressure Lowering in Hypertension: A Critical Reappraisal.
Abstract Sixty-eight blood pressure (BP)-lowering randomized controlled trials (defined as randomized controlled trials comparing active treatment with placebo, or less active treatment, achieving a BP difference, performed between 1966 and end 2013 in cohorts with ≥40% hypertensive patients, and exclusive of trials in acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, acute stroke, and dialysis) were identified and meta-analyzed grouping the randomized controlled trials on the basis of clinically relevant questions: (1) does BP lowering reduce all types of cardiovascular outcome? (2) Is prevention of all outcomes prop...
