TL;DR: Both survival and neurologic outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest have improved during the past decade at hospitals participating in a large national quality-improvement registry.

TL;DR: If adopted, the 2017 ACC/AHA hypertension guidelines will markedly increase the number of people labeled as having hypertension and treated with drugs in both the US and China, leading to more than half of those aged 45-75 years in both countries being considered hypertensive.

TL;DR: Among elderly survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrest, nearly 60% were alive at 1 year, and the rate of 3-year survival was similar to that among patients with heart failure, although differences in survival and readmission rates persisted at 2 years.

TL;DR: In this article, a multivariable logistic regression model was constructed to predict the propensity of receiving statins, adjusting for baseline sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, and outpatient medications.

TL;DR: The accompanying editorial highlights the methodological limitations that must be considered in interpreting the study results when choosing MACEs as an outcome when cardiac events were not prospectively collected or defined.
