TL;DR: The results demonstrate a consistent twofold increased risk of CVD in men who smoke compared with nonsmokers for each 12-year time period spanning from 1971 to 2006, and highlight the importance of continued public health efforts to address smoking as a modifiable exposure that strongly contributes toward CVD risk.

TL;DR: The interrater reproducibility findings for P wave amplitude, PR interval, QT intervals, QRS duration, and R wave amplitude were excellent, and the reproducedcibility of P wave duration was more modest.

TL;DR: This procedure was shown to be both feasible and safe in reducing blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension receiving treatment with a minimum of 3 antihypertensive drugs, and has been associated with decreased renin secretion, preservation of renal function, improved glucose tolerance, and a reduction in left ventricular hypertrophy.

TL;DR: In this convenience sample of TAVR recipients at a large academic medical center, patients with BSH were more likely to receive postdilation and were not associated with procedural or conduction outcomes after T AVR in patients without preexisting pacemakers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that changes in electrocardiographic heterogeneity would correlate better with speckle tracking strain measures than with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) among patients with TAVR-induced conduction abnormalities.
