Background: Whether associations between psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) can be modified by disease susceptibility and the temporal pattern of these associated CVDs remain unknown. Methods: We conducted a matched cohort study of UK Biobank including 35,227 patients with common psychiatry disorders (anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders) between 1997 and 2019, together with 176,135 sex- and birth year- individually matched unexposed individuals.Results: The mean age at the index date was 51.76 years, and 66.0% of participants were females. During a mean follow-up of 11.94 years, we observed an elevated risk of CVD among patients with studied psychiatry disorders, compared with matched unexposed individuals (hazard ratios [HRs]=1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-1.19), especially during the first six months of follow-up (HR=1.59 [1.42-1.79]). To assess the modification role of disease susceptibility, we stratified analyses by family history of CVD and by CVD PRS, which obtained similar estimates between subgroups with different susceptibilities to CVD. We conducted trajectory analysis to visualize the temporal pattern of CVDs after common psychiatry disorders, identifying primary hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, and stroke as three main intermediate steps leading to further increased risk of other CVDs.Conclusions: The association between common psychiatry disorders and subsequent CVD is not modified by predisposition to CVD. Hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, and stroke are three initial CVDs linking psychiatric disorders to other CVD squeals, highlighting a need of timely intervention on these targets to prevent further CVD squeals among all individuals with common psychiatric disorders.Funding: This work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 81971262 to HS), 1.3.5 project for disciplines of excellence, West China Hospital, Sichuan University (No. ZYYC21005 to HS), EU Horizon2020 Research and Innovation Action Grant (847776 to UV and FF).

Abstract Purpose Women and men with stable coronary artery disease (sCAD) have different clinical features and management, but 1-year prognosis has been reported to be similar in large observational registries. The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of female sex in the prognosis of the disease in the very long-term. Methods The CICCOR registry (“Chronic ischaemic heart disease in Cordoba”) is a prospective, monocentric, cohort study. From February 1, 2000 to January 31, 2004, all consecutive patients with sCAD attended at two outpatient cardiology clinics in a city of the south of Spain were included in the study and prospectively followed. Differential clinical features of women and men were described and the impact of female sex in long term prognosis was investigated. Results The study sample included 1268 patients, 337 women (27%) and 931 men (73% male). Women were older than men (70±9 versus 65±11 years, p<0.0005), more likely to have hypertension (72% versus 49%, p<0.0005) and diabetes (45% versus 26%), and less likely to be ex-smoker/active smoker (5%/2% versus 49%/9%, p<0.0005). They had more frequently angina in functional class ≥II (22% versus 17%, p=0.04) and atrial fibrillation (8% versus 5%, p=0.04), but had received less frequently coronary revascularization (32% versus 44%, p<0.0005). Prescription of statins (64% versus 68%, p=0.22), antiplatelets (89% versus 93%, p=0.07) and betablockers (67% versus 63%, p=0.28) at first visit was similar than men, but women received more frequently nitrates (78% versus 64%, p<0.0005), angiotensin-conversing enzyme inhibitors or receptor antagonists (56% versus 47%, p=0.004) and diuretics (41% versus 22%, p<0.0005). After up to 17 years of follow-up (median 11 years, IQR 4–15 years, with a total of 12612 patients-years of observation), probabilities of acute myocardial infarction (12% versus 14%, p=0.55) or stroke (14% versus 12%, p=0.40) at median follow up were similar for women and men. However, the risks of hospital admission for heart failure (22% versus 13%, p<0.0005) or cardiovascular death (35% versus 24%, p<0.0005) were significantly higher for women, with a non-significant trend to higher overall mortality (45% versus 39%, p=0.07). After multivariate adjustment, the risks of most events were similar for women and men (Hazard Ratios [95% confidence intervals]: 0.79 [0.55–1.14], p=0.21 for acute myocardial infarction; 0.89 [0.61–1.29], p=0.54 for stroke; 1.13 [0.82–1.57], p=0.46 for admission for heart failure; and 0.92 [0.73–1.16], p=0.48 for cardiovascular death), with a non-significant trend to lower overall mortality (0.83 [0.67–1.02], p=0.08). Conclusion Although women and men with sCAD presents a different clinical profile, and crude rates of hospital admissions for heart failure and cardiovascular death were higher in women, female sex was not an independent prognostic factor in this observational study with up to 17 years of follow-up.

Abstract Background: Survivors of acute myocardial infarction(AMI) struggle with stressful consequences. Sense of coherence(SOC) seems to be associated with a person's capacity to face life incidents. The current study aims to evaluate SOC's correlation with the major adverse cardiac events(MACE) among the AMI survivors. The study was designed and reported following the STROBE guidelines and checklist.Methods: This study was part of the ST-elevated myocardial infarction cohort study in Isfahan(SEMI-CI) conducted on 724 AMI survivors followed for two years. The patients' demographic, medical history and follow-up manifestations were recruited. The 13-item SOC questionnaire was utilized and the Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research(DCPR) questionnaire for psychosomatic disorders evaluation, including health anxiety, illness denial, irritable mood, and demoralization. MACE was defined as non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, and atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease-related death was recorded. Results: Logistic regression assessments showed that the SOC level was an independent predictor for the development of MACE(OR:0.67; 95%CI:0.40-0.85). This finding was confirmed by the controlling factors, including demographic data(OR:0.60; 95%CI:0.35-0.79), demographic factors and medical history(OR:0.62; 95%CI:0.36-0.86), the previous ones plus clinical follow-up assessments(OR:0.59; 95%CI:0.33-0.79), and all the evaluations plus psychosomatic factors(OR:0.76; 95%CI:0.42-0.92). Similar outcomes were achieved using SOC scores.Conclusion: Based on this study, SOC was an independent MACE predictor in a large population of AMI patients through a 2-year-follow-up period.

ObjectivesTo verify the associations between participation in an in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programme and clinical outcomes among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).DesignA retrospective cohort study using the Japanese administrative claims database.SettingJapanese acute-care hospitals.ParticipantsPatients aged ≥18 years who underwent PCI due to AMI and survived to discharge.Primary and secondary outcome measureThe primary outcomes were revascularisation, all-cause readmission and cardiac readmission (median follow-up period: 324 days, 236 days and 263 days, respectively). The secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality (median follow-up period: both were 460 days).ResultThe data of 13 697 patients were extracted from the database, and 65.4% of them participated in an in-hospital CR. The risks of revascularisation, all-cause readmission and cardiac readmission among CR participants were compared with those of non-participants using two statistical techniques: matched-pair analysis based on propensity score and a 30-day landmark analysis. The results of those analysis were consistent and showed that the CR participants had lower risk of revascularisation (adjusted HR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.65 to 0.84), all-cause readmission (HR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.74 to 0.88) and cardiac readmission (HR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.70 to 0.85). However, all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality were not associated with participation in the CR.ConclusionsIt was suggested that in-hospital CR participation may reduce the risk of revascularisation, all-cause readmission and cardiac readmission among patients with AMI after PCI. In-hospital CR may expand the potential benefits of CR in addition to outpatient CR.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): National Health Fund Background. A novel comprehensive care program after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) „KOS-zawał" was implemented in Poland. It includes acute intervention, complex revascularization, implantation of cardiovascular electronic devices (in case of indications), rehabilitation or hybrid telerehabilitation (HTR) and scheduled outpatient follow-up. HTR is a unique component of this program. The purpose of the pilot study was to evaluate a feasibility, safety and patients’ acceptance of HTR as component of a novel care program after AMI and to assess mortality in a one-year follow-up. Methods The study included 55 patients (LVEF 55.6 ± 6.8%; aged 57.5 ± 10.5 years). Patients underwent a 5-week HTR based on Nordic walking, consisting of an initial stage (1 week) conducted within an outpatient center and a basic stage (4-week) home-based telerehabilitation five times weekly. HTR was telemonitored with a device adjusted to register electrocardiogram (ECG) recording and to transmit data via mobile phone network to the monitoring center. The moments of automatic ECG registration were pre-set and coordinated with exercise training. The influence on physical capacity was assessed by comparing changes in functional capacity (METs) from the beginning and the end of HTR. Patients filled in a questionnaire in order to assess their acceptance of HTR at the end of telerehabilitation. Results HTR resulted in a significant improvement in functional capacity and workload duration in exercise test (Table). Safety: there were neither deaths nor adverse events during HTR. Patients accepted HTR, including the need for interactive everyday collaboration with the monitoring center. Prognosis all patients survived in a one-year follow-up. Conclusions Hybrid telerehabilitation is a feasible, safe form of rehabilitation, well accepted by patients. There were no deaths in a one-year follow-up. Outcomes before and after HTR Before telerehabilitation After telerehabilitation P Exercise time [s] 381.5 ± 92.0 513.7 ± 120.2 <0.001 Maximal workload [MET] 7.9 ± 1.8 10.1 ± 2.3 <0.001 Heart rate rest [bpm] 68.6 ± 12.0 66.6 ± 10.9 0.123 Heart rate max effort [bpm] 119.7 ± 15.9 131.0 ± 20.1 <0.001 SBP rest [mmHg] 115.6 ± 14.8 117.7 ± 13.8 0.295 DBP rest [mmHg] 74.3 ± 9.2 76.2 ± 7.3 0.079 SBP max effort [mm Hg] 159.5 ± 25.7 170.7 ± 25.5 0.003 DBP max effort [mm Hg] 84.5 ± 9.2 87.2 ± 9.3 0.043 SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure.

Accumulating evidence has shown a significant correlation between periodontal diseases and systemic diseases. In this study, we investigated the association between the frequency of tooth scaling and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Here, a group of 7164 participants who underwent tooth scaling was compared with another group of 7164 participants without tooth scaling through propensity score matching to assess AMI risk by Cox’s proportional hazard regression. The results show that the hazard ratio of AMI from the tooth scaling group was 0.543 (0.441, 0.670) and the average expenses of AMI in the follow up period was USD 265.76, while the average expenses of AMI in follow up period for control group was USD 292.47. The tooth scaling group was further divided into two subgroups, namely A and B, to check the influence of tooth scaling frequency on AMI risk. We observed that (1) the incidence rate of AMI in the group without any tooth scaling was 3.5%, which is significantly higher than the incidence of 1.9% in the group with tooth scaling; (2) the tooth scaling group had lower total medical expenditures than those of the other group because of the high medical expenditure associated with AMI; and (3) participants who underwent tooth scaling had a lower AMI risk than those who never underwent tooth scaling had. Therefore, the results of this study demonstrate the importance of preventive medicine.
