Atrial fibrillation and breast cancer-Vicious twins? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Epidemiological studies suggest a bidirectional association between atrial fibrillation and breast cancer. This study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to elucidate the prevalence of atrial fibrillation among breast cancer patients, and the bidirectional association between atrial fibrillation and breast cancer.

Methods: PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase were searched to identify studies reporting the prevalence, incidence, and bidirectional association between atrial fibrillation and breast cancer.

Periodontal disease is associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease independent of sex: A meta-analysis.

Objectives: Studies have established a link between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease (CVD), but it is unclear whether there is a sex difference in their association.

Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched until June, 21 2022. Cardiovascular outcomes included any CVD, myocardial infarction (MI), coronary heart disease (CHD), or stroke.

De-Escalation Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Prevail over Potent P2Y12 Inhibitor Monotherapy in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergone Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Network Meta-Analysis.

Background: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with potent P2Y12 inhibitor is the cornerstone of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) management. Balancing the effects of different strategies of antiplatelet therapy including DAPT de-escalation, potent P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy, and conventional DAPT is a hot topic.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted from the MEDLINE, PubMed, and Embase through October 2021 to identify various DAPT strategies in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for treatment of ACS patients after undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stent (DES).

Lipid metabolism patterns and relevant clinical and molecular features of coronary artery disease patients: an integrated bioinformatic analysis.

Background: Hyperlipidaemia is an important factor that induces coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to explore the lipid metabolism patterns and relevant clinical and molecular features of coronary artery disease patients.

Methods: In the current study, datasets were fetched from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and nonnegative matrix factorization clustering was used to establish a new CAD classification based on the gene expression profile of lipid metabolism genes.

Incidence of coronary drug-eluting stent fracture: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Reported evidence of coronary stent fracture (CSF) has increased in recent years. The purpose of this study was to determine reliable estimates of the overall incidence of CSF.

Methods And Results: The MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched until March 18, 2022.
