Aims: To investigate whether or not the association between baseline cardiovascular health (CVH) and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) differs by event phenotypes and to address the mediating effect of inflammatory and haemostatic blood biomarkers. Methods: The association of ideal CVH with outcomes was computed in 9312 middle-aged men from Northern Ireland and France (whole cohort) in multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. The mediating effect of baseline blood biomarkers was evaluated in a case control study nested within the cohort after 10 years of follow-up. Results: After a median follow-up of 10 years, 614 first CHD events and 117 first stroke events were adjudicated. Compared to those with poor CVH, those with an ideal CVH profile at baseline had a 72% lower risk of CHD (HR=0.28; 95% CI: 0.17; 0.46) and a 76% lower risk of stroke (HR=0.24; 95% CI: 0.06; 0.98). No heterogeneity was detected across main CHD and main stroke phenotypes. While significantly lower mean concentrations of hs-CRP, IL-6 (inflammatory markers), and fibrinogen, von Willbrandt factor (haemostatic factors) were noted in the controls with higher CVH status, the association of CVH with incident CHD was not attenuated upon adjustment for these biomarkers. Conclusion: these results support the universal promotion of ideal CVH for CVD in general and suggest that the lower risk of CHD associated with ideal CVH is independent from inflammatory and haemostatic biomarkers.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in China. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the levels of cardiovascular health among Chinese adults and to understand the geographic patterns based on a nationally and provincially representative survey. Methods: In 2015, a total of 74,771 respondents aged ≥ 20 years with no history of cardiovascular disease were randomly sampled from 298 counties/districts of 31 provinces in mainland China and were interviewed. Seven metrics, including smoking, body mass index, physical activity, diet, total cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting glucose, were determined. Ideal cardiovascular health was defined as the simultaneous presence of all metrics at the ideal level. A score ranging from 0 to 14 was calculated as the sum of all seven metrics for each province. Scores for four health behaviors and four health factors were also calculated. Results: The age-adjusted prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health was only 1.13% among Chinese adults above 20 years old in 2015 (0.50% among men and 1.77% among women; 1.63% among urban residents and 0.68% among rural residents). The age-adjusted prevalence varied greatly across provinces, ranging from 0.05% in Qinghai to 2.97% in Heilongjiang. Ideal diet (7.4%) was the least common among seven cardiovascular health metrics and ideal blood pressure (32.2%) was the second least one. We also saw significant heterogeneity among provinces in age-adjusted cardiovascular health score, health behavior score, and health factors score. In all provinces, women had higher scores than men for cardiovascular health, health behaviors and health factors. Differences in cardiovascular health and health behavior scores between urban and rural areas were associated with levels of socio-economic development. Conclusions: Strategies for addressing poor cardiovascular health require geographic targeting and localized consideration.

Abstract The cardiovascular complications of acute COVID-19 are well described; however, a comprehensive characterization of the post-acute cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 at one year has not been undertaken. Here we use the US Department of Veterans Affairs national healthcare databases to build a cohort of 151,195 people with COVID-19, 3,670,087 contemporary and 3,656,337 historical controls to estimate risks and 1-year burdens of a set of pre-specified incident cardiovascular outcomes. We show that beyond the first 30 days of infection, people with COVID-19 are at increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease spanning several categories including cerebrovascular disorders, dysrhythmias, ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease, pericarditis, myocarditis, heart failure, and thromboembolic disease. The risks and burdens were evident among those who were non-hospitalized during the acute phase of the infection and increased in a graded fashion according to care setting of the acute infection (non-hospitalized, hospitalized, and admitted to intensive care). Taken together, our results provide evidence that risk and 1-year burden of cardiovascular disease in survivors of acute COVID-19 are substantial. Care pathways of people who survived the acute episode of COVID-19 should include attention to cardiovascular health and disease.
