TL;DR: Large aortic arch plaques were associated with high CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores, and represented important embolic sources in cryptogenic stroke, and clarifies potential embolic etiologies of cryptogenic Stroke using TEE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated heart rate and cardiovascular risk in hypertension
TL;DR: As most clinical guidelines now recommend the use of combination therapies in patients with hypertension, it might be desirable to consider as combination components drugs which lower HR, if HR is elevated such as, according to guideliines, when it is above 80 b/min.

Atrial Fibrillation Screen, Management, and Guideline-Recommended Therapy in the Rural Primary Care Setting: A Cross-Sectional Study and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of eHealth Tools to Support All Stages of Screening.
Jessica Orchard,Jialin Li,Ben Freedman,Ruth Webster,Glenn Salkeld,Charlotte Hespe,Robyn Gallagher,Anushka Patel,Bishoy Kamel,Lis Neubeck,Nicole Lowres +10 more
TL;DR: An AF screening program in rural practices, supported by eHealth tools, screened 34% of eligible patients and was cost‐effective and increasing the proportion screened would prevent many more strokes with minimal incremental cost‐effectiveness ratio change.

Poor Time in Therapeutic Range Control Is Associated With Adverse Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation: A Report From the Nationwide COOL-AF Registry
Rungroj Krittayaphong,Thoranis Chantrarat,Roj Rojjarekampai,Pongpun Jittham,Poom Sairat,Gregory Y.H. Lip,Gregory Y.H. Lip +6 more
TL;DR: Poor TTR control is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with NVAF who were on warfarin and efforts to ensure good TTR (≥65%) after initiation ofwarfarin are mandatory to minimize the risk of adverse clinical outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants: impact of non-adherence and discontinuation.
José Miguel Rivera-Caravaca,María Asunción Esteve-Pastor,Vanessa Roldán,Francisco Marín,Gregory Y.H. Lip +4 more
TL;DR: Since there are several reasons for OAC underuse, future strategies to improve adherence should be implemented, that include more and better education about AF and stroke risk, as well as and specific information about the potential consequences of non-adherence to OAC.

TL;DR: In this article, a randomized controlled trial of Aliskiren in the Prevention of Major Cardiovascular Events in Elderly people was presented. But the authors did not discuss the effect of the combination therapy in patients living with systolic hypertension.

Harold P. Adams,Birgitte H. Bendixen,L J Kappelle,José Biller,Betsy B. Love,David Lee Gordon,E. Eugene Marsh +6 more
TL;DR: The TOAST stroke subtype classification system is easy to use and has good interobserver agreement and should allow investigators to report responses to treatment among important subgroups of patients with ischemic stroke.

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins
Michel Haïssaguerre,Pierre Jaïs,D. C. Shah,Atsushi Takahashi,Mélèze Hocini,G Quiniou,S. Garrigue,A Le Mouroux,P Le Métayer,Jacques Clementy +9 more
TL;DR: The pulmonary veins are an important source of ectopic beats, initiating frequent paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and these foci respond to treatment with radio-frequency ablation.
