Abstract 52: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists use and outcomes in Cardiac Amyloidosis patients: A Propensity Matched Analysis

Stroke Journal

Propensity score-matched analysis (PSM) (1:1) was performed with matching for age, gender, race, BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, hemoglobin level, low-density lipid (LDL) level, left ventricular ejection fraction, and various drugs including ACEi, ARBi, ARNI, beta-blockers, and diuretics.

Stroke Journal

Outcomes were 1 year hospital readmission rates by all-cause and due to repeat stroke.Results:Patients in the intervention group and control group were similar in age, BMI, race, smoking status, as well as rates of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, and history of prior stroke, with the exception of discharge rate to skilled (..)

Abstract 4123899: Stroke Risk in Patients with an Isolated Interventricular Membranous Septal Aneurysm

Circulation

The mean BMI was 27.9 One patient had diabetes, 8 had hyperlipidemia, and 9 had hypertension. Only one patient had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0. Of these, 9 (64%) were female with a mean age of 59.6, and 5 (36%) were male with a mean age of 55.4. kg/m2, with 4 classified as obese.

Finerenone, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction: A prespecified analysis of the FINEARTS‐HF trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

BMI, body mass index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide. The beneficial effects of finerenone in patients with heart failure (HF) and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction were consistent, regardless of a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status.

Association of body mass index with outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation: GARFIELD-AF

Open Heart

Objective While greater body mass index (BMI) is associated with increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF), the impact of BMI on outcomes in newly diagnosed AF is unclear. The study population comprised 40 482 participants: 703 underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m 2 ), 13 095 normal (BMI=18.5–24.9
