“…Compared with the more-educated persons (2.8 potential life-years), the less-educated persons lost more potential life-years (4.6) for CVD. [ 67 ] Third, “disease prevention” [ 68 – 70 ] (including primary prevention [ 71 ] and secondary prevention [ 72 , 73 ] ), and “risk factor” [ 68 , 74 , 75 ] were the main study direction. For instance, socioeconomic status, childhood and early-life factors, inequalities in health services, place of residence, wealth distribution, and work-related factors can affect CVD risk.…”

Background: Income is 1 of the socio-economic indicators and could directly influence the health outcomes of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The relationship between income and CVD has attracted more and more scholars’ attention in the past 20 years. Methods: To study the current research dynamics of this field, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to evaluate the publications from 1990 to 2018 based on the Science Citation Index Expanded database. By using the Derwent Date Analyzer software, the following aspects were explored: historical trend of the topic; the main contributor: leading countries, leading institutions, leading research areas and journals; representative authors; most frequently used keywords; most cited papers. Results: The USA ranked first in this field, followed by UK and Canada in terms of number of publications. As for institutions, Harvard University took the leading place in the number of publications, as well as the h-index. Plos One had the most publications and “health” was the most frequent used keyword. The leading research area was “public environmental occupational health”. Conclusions: In conclusion, the elderly, the children and the puerpera were the main study population in this field and “disease prevention” was the main study direction. The most concerned health issues in this field were “obesity” and “diet”. There might be a lack of articles that explore the associations between income and CVD with a global perspective. Articles on this content are urgently warranted.

“…In a recent meta-analysis, even higher amounts of alcohol (> 7 drinks/day) improved outcomes in patients with heart failure [ 5 ]. However, in another meta-analysis (13 prospective studies, 355,804 participants) [ 24 ], light alcohol drinking (< 7 drinks/week) was inversely associated with risk of heart failure, while no statistically significant association between moderate (7–14 drinks/week), high (> 14 drinks/week), or heavy (> 28 drinks/week) alcohol consumption and heart failure was found.…”

“…It is known that moderate amounts of alcohol have protective effects on coronary artery disease (CAD) [ 4 ]. Heavy drinking may adversely affect the cardiovascular system, but there is controversy in the literature [ 5 , 6 ]. Patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) due to excessive alcohol consumption form a large cohort of all LT patients.…”

Coronary atherosclerosis profile in patients with end-stage liver disease prior to liver transplantation due to alcoholic fatty liver: a coronary CTA study

et al. 2020

Objectives To assess the coronary atherosclerosis profile by coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) in patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) due to alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD) evaluated for liver transplantation (LT), in a retrospective matched case-controlled cohort study. Methods One hundred forty patients (age 60.6 years ± 9.8, 20.7% females) who underwent coronary CTA were included. Seventy patients with ESLD due to ARLD (ESLD-alc) were propensity score (1:1) matched for age, gender, and the major 5 cardiovascular risk factors with healthy controls. CTA analysis included the following: stenosis severity according to CAD-RADS as (0) = no, (1) minimal < 25%, (2) mild 25-50%, (3) moderate 50-70%, and (4) severe > 70% stenosis, total mixed plaque burden weighted for non-calcified component (G-score) and high-risk plaque criteria (Napkin-Ring, low attenuation plaque, spotty calcification, positive remodeling). Results Prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) was high (84.4%) in the ESLD-alc group but similar to controls. Stenosis severity was similar (CAD-RADS, 1.9 vs. 2.2, p = 0.289). High-grade stenosis (> 70%) was observed in 12.5% of ESLD-alc patients. High-risk plaques were less frequent in the ESLD-alc cohort as compared to controls (4.5% vs. 37.5%, p < 0.001), and total mixed plaque burden was lower (G-score, 4.9 versus 7.4, p = 0.001). Plaque density was lower in controls (56.6HU ± 3.2 vs. 91.3HU ± 4.5, p = 0.007) indicating more lipid-rich in controls, but higher mixed fibro-calcific plaque component in those with alcohol-related ESLD. Conclusion Patients with alcohol-related ESLD exhibit more mixed fibro-calcified plaques but less plaque with high-risk features and less fibro-fatty plaque burden, while total CAD prevalence is high. Key Points • Patients with ESLD prior to LT have a high total prevalence of CAD and stenosis severity, which is similar to those of healthy controls with an identical cardiovascular risk profile. • Patients with ESLD prior to LT due to alcohol abuse have more calcific but less fibro-fatty plaque and less high-risk plaque. • CTA seems to be a useful imaging technique for risk stratification prior to LT.

Road accidents represent the greatest public health burden in the world. Road traffic accidents have been on the rise in Rwanda for several years. Speed has been identified as a core factor in these road accidents. Therefore, understanding road accidents caused by excessive speeding is critical for road safety planning. In this paper, input and out pulse width modulation (PWM) was used to command the metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) controller which supplied voltage to the motor. A structural speed control and Internet of Things (IoT)-based online monitoring system was developed to monitor vehicle data in a continuous manner. Two modeling techniques, multiple linear regression (MLR) and random forest (RF) models, were evaluated to find the best model to estimate the required voltage to be supplied to the motors in a particular zone. The built models were evaluated based upon the coefficient of determination R2. The RF performs better than the MLR as it reveals a higher R2 value and it is found to be 98.8%. Based on the results, the proposed method was proven to significantly reduce the supplied voltage to the motor and consequently increase safety.

Association of Alcohol Consumption After Development of Heart Failure With Survival Among Older Adults in the Cardiovascular Health Study

Abstract: This cohort study investigates whether the consumption of alcohol after the diagnosis of heart failure among older adults who participated in the Cardiovascular Health Study was associated with increased survival compared with abstinence.
