Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:It is unknown whether dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) modifies the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk associated with a family history of CVD. We assessed interactions between biomarkers of low PUFA intake and a family history in relation to long-term CVD risk in a large consortium.METHODS:Blood and tissue PUFA data from 40 885 CVD-free adults were assessed.

The clinical and economic impact of extended battery longevity of The EV ICD compared to the S-ICD. Abstract Introduction The extravascular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (EV ICD) has extended projected battery longevity compared to the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD). This study used modeling to characterize the need for generator changes, long-term complications, and overall costs for both the EV ICD and S-ICD in healthcare systems of various countries.
