Possible diurnal blood pressure variation change due to alcohol consumption. • Normally, blood pressure declines by around 10-20% at night compared to daytime (nocturnal decline, orange line). • In the acute phase of alcohol consumption, blood pressure declines from the original blue line due to vasodilation caused by alcohol and then increases (orange arrow, and brown line). • However, with long-term alcohol consumption, there is a sustained rise in blood pressure (red arrow), and eventually, blood pressure at night is also higher than that in non-drinkers (red line).

Omega-3 index improves upon the pooled cohort equation in predicting risk for CVD.

J Clin Lipidol

February 2025

Fatty Acid Research Institute, Sioux Falls, SD, USA (Drs Tintle, Marchioli, and Harris); Department of Internal Medicine, Sanford School of Medicine, University of South Dakota, Sioux Falls, SD, USA (Dr Harris).

Background: Accurate predictive tools are crucial for identifying patients at increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The Pooled Cohort Equation (PCE) is commonly used to predict 10-year risk for ASCVD, but its accuracy remains imperfect.

Objective: This study examined the extent to which the omega-3 index (O3I; the proportion of eicosapentaenoic acid+docosahexaenoic acid in erythrocyte membranes) improved the predictive capability of PCE.

Vasoplegia in Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Current Definitions and Their Influence on Clinical Outcomes.

J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth

February 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands; Department of Cardiothoracic surgery, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands. Electronic address:

Objectives: To identify differences in the reported vasoplegia incidence, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), and 30-day mortality rates as influenced by different vasoplegia definitions used in cardiac surgery studies.

Design: A systematic review was performed covering the period 1977 to 2023 using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Emcare and a meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42021258328) was performed.

Setting And Participants: One hundred studies defining vasoplegia in cardiac surgery patients were systematically reviewed.

Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity in heart failure (HF). We analysed factors associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure using linked real-world UK data from primary and secondary care, along with findings from genome-wide association studies.

Methods And Results: Among 163 174 participants with a diagnosis of HF (January 1998 to May 2016) from Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) and Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES), 111 595 participants had no previous history of AF (mean age 76.

Background: The aim of this was to develop an atrial fibrillation (AF) risk score using items usually included in Japanese governmental health check-ups.

Methods And Results: We analyzed data from 6,476 Japanese participants registered in the Suita Study. At baseline, the participants were aged ≥30 years and were free from AF.

The association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Japanese general population remains unclear. To investigate the influence of HDP on long-term postpartum development of metabolic disorders and T2D, we conducted a population-based cross-sectional study using the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75g-OGTT) in 978 parous Japanese women (median age: 66 years). We further evaluated the combined effect of HDP and T2D susceptibility genes on developing T2D.
