Atrial Fibrillation’s Downstream Consequences

CardiacWire

A BMJ study out of Denmark provided alarming new insights into atrial fibrillation’s impact on patients’ future cardiovascular health, while highlighting the need to improve post-AFib heart failure and stroke prevention. in 2011-2022. Stroke was the second most common post-AFib complication with a 21% lifetime risk, falling from 22.4%

Interacting and joint effects of triglyceride-glucose index and hypertension on stroke risk in middle-aged and older Chinese adults: a population-based prospective cohort study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundTriglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and hypertension were well-established risk factors for stroke. However, no prior study has investigated the interactive effects of the TyG index and hypertension on stroke. This cohort study included 9,145 middle-aged and older Chinese adults without stroke at baseline.

Triglyceride-glucose index mediates the association between residual cholesterol and stroke among middle-aged and older adults in China: a prospective, nationwide, population-based study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundBoth triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and residual cholesterol (RC) are predictors of stroke; however, to what extent the RC is associated with stroke through TyG index is unclear. The exposure was RC, the mediator was TyG index, and the outcome was stroke which followed up from June, 2011, to June, 2018.

A meta-analysis of extended ECG monitoring in detection of atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic stroke

Open Heart

Objective The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the various modalities available for extended ECG monitoring in the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) following a cryptogenic stroke. Methods MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE (Ovid), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched from January 2011 to November 2021.
