Risk of myocardial infarction and stroke following bloodstream infection: a population-based self-controlled case series

Open Heart

We aimed to determine the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke after BSI. MI and stroke were determined from International Classification of Disease Version 10 coded admissions. The risk was similarly elevated for stroke. to 48.52); stroke IRR: 6.94 (3.14 to 48.52); stroke IRR: 6.94 (3.14

Temporal order of atrial fibrillation and acute myocardial infarction and associated prognosis in the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort

Open Heart

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) share risk factors and are bidirectionally associated. Several studies found higher risks of outcomes in individuals with both conditions. Whether the risks of outcomes differ according to temporal order of AF and AMI is unclear.

Unveiling the threat of crystalline silica on the cardiovascular system. A comprehensive review of the current knowledge

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Specific cardiovascular diseases, such as acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension and pericarditis, were also pointed. SiO2 exposure was linked to an increased risk of myocardial infarction, with potential mechanisms involving inflammation and platelet activation.

Comparison of multiple arterial grafts vs. single arterial graft in coronary artery bypass surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The clinical outcomes assessed included all-cause mortality, cardiac-specific mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), repeat revascularization, stroke, sternal wound complications, and major bleeding. We conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases for RCTs that directly compared MAG and SAG.

Association between weight-adjusted waist circumference index and myocardial infarction: results from the national health and nutrition examination survey, 1999–2014

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Multiple logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were conducted to assess both linear and nonlinear associations between WWI and myocardial infarction. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were also performed.ResultsAmong the 31,535 participants analyzed, 1,449 (4.82%) had experienced a myocardial infarction.

SGLT1/2 Inhibitor Cut Stroke, Heart Attack Risk in Diabetic Kidney Disease

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- The dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor sotagliflozin (Inpefa) reduced the risk for myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular risk factors, a prespecified.

Development and validation of prediction models for stroke and myocardial infarction in type 2 diabetes based on health insurance claims: does machine learning outperform traditional regression approaches?

Cardiovascular Diabetology

We aimed to develop and validate prediction models for stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) in pati. Digitalization and big health system data open new avenues for targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
