TL;DR: Patients deemed frail, determined using an objective assessment tool, have a higher likelihood of experiencing mortality, morbidity, functional decline, and MACCE following cardiac surgery, regardless of definition.

TL;DR: The incidence of CHF was considerably higher than that in the Framingham cohort, whereas the incidence of IHD was not, suggesting that renal transplantation might correspond more to a state of "accelerated heart failure" than to "ac Accelerated atherosclerosis".

TL;DR: The incidence and prevalence of AF in ESRD patients are higher than in the general population and are associated with an increased risk of stroke and mortality, requiring an appropriately designed randomized controlled trial to determine whether anticoagulation is an appropriate therapeutic strategy in patients with end-stage renal disease and atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: Youth with type 2 diabetes exhibit complications sooner than youth with type 1 diabetes, younger age at diagnosis is potentially protective, and glycemic control is an important modifiable risk factor.

TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to determine whether brachial FMD and peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) are independent risk factors for future cardiovascular events and mortality as discussed by the authors.
