Click on the chapter name to be taken to that chapter. Each year, the American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and other government agencies, brings together in a single document the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and the cardiovascular risk factors listed in the AHA’s My Life Check - Life’s Simple 7 (Figure1), which include core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure [BP], and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update represents …

High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and risk of stroke and carotid atherosclerosis: A systematic review

TL;DR: The weight of evidence in the literature supports an inverse association between HDL-C level and stroke or carotid atherosclerosis, but more data are needed to firmly establish this protective effect.

Development of Fatness, Fitness, and Lifestyle From Adolescence to the Age of 36 Years: Determinants of the Metabolic Syndrome in Young Adults: The Amsterdam Growth and Health Longitudinal Study

TL;DR: Fatness, fitness, and lifestyle are important determinants of the metabolic syndrome in young adults and, therefore, intervening early in life (eg, in the period of transition from adolescence to adulthood) may be a fruitful area for prevention.

A Type 1 Diabetes Genetic Risk Score Can Aid Discrimination Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes in Young Adults

TL;DR: A T1D GRS can accurately identify young adults with diabetes who will require insulin treatment and will be an important addition to correctly classifying individuals with diabetes when clinical features and autoimmune markers are equivocal.

Outcomes of pulmonary valve replacement in 170 patients with chronic pulmonary regurgitation after relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction: implications for optimal timing of pulmonary valve replacement

TL;DR: Midterm outcomes of PVR in patients with chronic PR were acceptable and PVR should be considered before RV EDVI exceeds 163 ml/m(2) or RV ESVI exceeds 80 ml/ m(2), with more attention to RV ES VI.

Heritability and familiality of type 2 diabetes and related quantitative traits in the Botnia Study.

TL;DR: To detect stronger genetic effects in type 2 diabetes, it seems reasonable to restrict inclusion of patients to those with age at onset 35–60 years, and Sequencing of families with extreme quantitative traits could be an important next step in the dissection of the genetics of type 2abetes.
