Summary: The study found that among primary care patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation, baseline SBP in the range of 145-180 mmHg prior to initiation of oral anticoagulants (OACs) was associated with a more than doubled risk of haemorrhagic stroke compared to an SBP of 130 mmHg. Lowering SBP to below 145 mmHg before initiating OACs may decrease the risk of haemorrhagic stroke in this patient population.

Summary: This study found that baseline frailty status is an independent risk factor for new-onset atrial fibrillation in older adult patients with hypertension. Frail patients had a significantly higher risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation compared to healthy patients. Screening for frailty should be considered in older adult patients with hypertension to prevent new-onset atrial fibrillation.

Summary: The association between lipid parameters and incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) remains unclear in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. This study found that total cholesterol (TC) levels were inversely associated with NOAF incidence, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were positively associated with NOAF incidence. There was no significant association between NOAF incidence and levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), or non-HDL-C, as well as lipid ratios.

Summary: Hypertension is prevalent in more than 70% of atrial fibrillation patients, and hypertensive patients have a 73% higher likelihood of developing atrial fibrillation. Current guidelines suggest that systematic screening for atrial fibrillation may be necessary for patients aged 65 and above with cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. Although most blood pressure monitors have algorithms to detect atrial fibrillation with high sensitivity and specificity, electrocardiography confirmation is still needed. Early detection and diagnosis of atrial fibrillation are crucial for initiating appropriate management.

Summary: The study found that high blood pressure, especially elevated systolic blood pressure, is a significant risk factor for new-onset atrial fibrillation in premenopausal women. However, the association between blood pressure and the risk of new-onset AF weakened in postmenopausal women. The increased risk of new-onset AF attributable to elevated blood pressure was more pronounced in women not taking antihypertensive medications.

Summary: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a lifestyle risk score for atrial fibrillation (AF) to identify individuals at risk in the general population. The study found that hypertension, age, body mass index, male sex, sleep apnoea, smoking, and alcohol were predictive factors for AF, while physical inactivity and diabetes were not significant. The newly developed risk score outperformed traditional AF risk models and could assist in population screening for AF.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the factors associated with subsequent atrial fibrillation (AF) diagnoses and other adverse outcomes in critical illness associated new onset AF (CI-NOAF) patients. The results showed that AF burden and left atrial size were independently associated with subsequent AF. It was also found that CI-NOAF is often under-recognized and subsequent AF diagnoses are common post-discharge.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of self-reported medical histories collected via a computerized history taking (CHT) program on a tablet among patients with acute chest pain in the emergency department. Results showed that a majority of patients were able to effectively interact with CHT to provide sufficient data for cardiovascular risk stratification. However, utility was somewhat lower in certain patient subgroups, indicating the need for further studies to assess the potential benefits of CHT in improving management and prognosis for this large patient population.

Summary: Sex chromosomes and sex hormones play differential roles in blood pressure regulation and cardiovascular risk factors between females and males with essential arterial hypertension. The risk for cardiovascular disease is higher in females at lower blood pressure levels, suggesting the need for sex-specific thresholds in hypertension diagnosis. It is currently unknown if hypertension should be managed differently in females and males, highlighting the need for focused research on sex-specific prevention and management.

Summary: Antihypertensive treatment is equally beneficial for reducing cardiovascular risk in both men and women, but there are differences in drug treatment, prevalence, and control of hypertension between genders. Men and women respond differently to antihypertensive drugs and have different comorbidities. Hypertension in pregnancy presents a therapeutic challenge. Population-based studies and real-world data show inconsistent results regarding hypertension-related goals attainment. Men and women are treated with different antihypertensive drugs. This review explores sex-related differences with guidance from current literature and presents original data from a large Swedish register.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the GRACE risk score in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) patients for 30-day mortality and the need for thrombolytic treatment. The study found that the GRACE risk score, along with the PESI score, were independent risk factors associated with 30-day mortality and the need for thrombolytic treatment. The GRACE risk score showed high sensitivity and specificity in predicting mortality, and its combination with the PESI score helped define high-risk PE patients and predict poor prognosis.

Summary: This study evaluated the angiogenic capacity of adipose tissue in patients undergoing cardiac surgeries and found that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) had reduced angiogenic capacity in their pericardial adipose tissue. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulated expression of the anti-angiogenic gene TSP-1 in CAD patients, with no significant differences in other angiogenic factors. Additionally, inhibiting TSP-1 expression significantly improved angiogenic deficiency in CAD patients.
