Mashup Score: 0
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring predicts cardiovascular risk, but social determinants of health may play a role in its prognostic ability. We examined whether the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) modifies the association between CAC and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in a community-based screening cohort. METHODS: We studied 49 224 participants without known cardiovascular disease referred for CAC scanning from 2014 to 2022 based on cardiovascular risk factors. SVI was determined for each participant based on the census tract. We examined 8-year incidence of MACE (myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, revascularization, death) by SVI quartile across CAC score strata (0, 1–99, 100–399, ≥400). Cox proportional hazard models estimated hazard ratios for MACE, associated with demographics, metabolic factors, and CAC. RESULTS: Higher SVI was associated with female sex, non-White race, greater comorbidities, and higher CAC scores. The 8-year MACE rate inc

Mashup Score: 0
Leadless pacing and non-transvenous defibrillation options are attractive alternatives for patients requiring pacing or defibrillation systems at high-risk of or having already experienced lead-related complications. However, current available systems offer a limited range of therapies. Patients who need simultaneous pacing therapy, especially atrial pacing, and anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) therapies as well are not eligible for these new technologies. In this case series, we describe the first two patients in whom an Aurora extravascular-ICD (EV-ICD, Medtronic, MN, USA) and Aveir AR atrial leadless pacemaker (Abbott Medical, IL, USA) were implanted in combination.
