years and were more likely to be males (62%), diabetic (41% vs 35%, p=0.046), and have a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation (Afib) (53% vs 39%, p<0.001). The presence of elevated FP, history of Afib and prior PCI emerged as independent predictors of long-term mortality after TAVR.

Shoveling snow is particularly risky for people at high risk for heart disease – if they are overweight or obese; smoke or have a smoking history; have type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure; or a history of heart attack. Heavier drinking may increase the risk for scarring, electrical abnormalities, heart attack and stroke.

Conditions such as AFib are often said to be associated with stroke as a consequence of cardioembolism. It is also very important to mention a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, elevated cholesterol, family history of premature heart disease, stroke or even sudden death. This is called cardioembolism.

AF stands for atrial fibrillation. AF and dementia both affect older people and sicker people esp those that have vascular risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure and I am sure that is true to an extent and therefore it is also way crucial when we manage patients with AF, that we tackle additional risk factors.
