Abstract
Importance Cardiovascular health may be used for prevention of depressive symptoms. However, data on the association of cardiovascular health across midlife with depressive symptoms are lacking. Objective To evaluate whether better baseline cardiovascular health and improvement of cardiovascular health over time are associated with a lower risk of both incident depressive symptoms and unfavorable trajectories of depressive symptoms. Design, Setting, and Participants Participants without depressive symptoms were included from a prospective community-based cohort in France (GAZEL cohort). Cardiovascular health examinations occurred in 1990 and 1997 and assessment of depressive symptoms in 1997 and every 3 years thereafter until 2015. Data were analyzed from January to October 2022. Exposures Number of cardiovascular health metrics (smoking, body mass index, physical activity, diet, blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol) at an intermediate or ideal level in 1997 (range, 0-7) and 7-year change in cardiovascular health between 1990 and 1997. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcome was incident depressive symptoms (20-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale [CES-D] score of 17 or greater in men or 23 or greater in women); secondary outcome was trajectories of depressive symptoms scores. Trajectories included consistently low scores, moderately elevated scores, low starting then increasing scores, moderately high starting, increasing, then remitting scores, and moderately high starting then increasing scores. Results Of 6980 included patients, 1671 (23.9%) were women, and the mean (SD) age was 53.3 (3.5) years. During a follow-up spanning 19 years after 1997, 1858 individuals (26.5%) had incident depressive symptoms. Higher baseline cardiovascular health in 1997 and improvement in cardiovascular health over 7 years were each associated with lower risk of depressive symptoms (odds ratio [OR] per additional metric at intermediate or ideal level at baseline, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.84-0.91; OR per 1 higher metric at intermediate or ideal level over 7 years, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.86-0.96). Also, better cardiovascular health was associated with lower risk of unfavorable depressive symptoms trajectories. Compared with the consistently low score trajectory, the lowest risks were observed for the low starting then increasing score trajectory (OR per additional metric at intermediate or ideal level at baseline, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.64-0.76; OR per 1 higher metric at intermediate or ideal level over 7 years, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.68-0.79) and the moderately high starting then increasing score trajectory (OR per additional metric at intermediate or ideal level at baseline, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.64-0.79; OR per 1 higher metric at intermediate or ideal level over 7 years, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.64-0.77). Conclusions and Relevance In this prospective community-based cohort study of adults, higher cardiovascular health was associated with a lower risk of depressive symptoms over time. Elucidating which set of cardiovascular factors may affect depression risk could be important for prevention.

Abstract
Background The impact of COVID-19 sanitary measures on the time trends in infectious and chronic disease consultations in Sub-Saharan Africa remains unknown. Methods We conducted a cohort study on all emergency medical consultations from January 2016 to July 2020, from SOS Medecins in Dakar, Senegal. The consultation records provided basic demographic information such as age, ethnicity (Senegalese or Caucasian), and sex as well as the principal diagnosis using an ICD-10 classification ("infectious", "chronic", and "other"). We first investigated how the pattern in emergency consultation differed from March to July 2020 compared to previous years. Then, we examined any potential racial/ethnic disparities in COVID-19 consultation. Results We obtained data on emergency medical consultations from 53 583 patients of all ethnic origins. The mean age of patients was 37.0 (standard deviation (SD) = 25.2) and 30.3 (SD = 21.7) in 2016-2019 and 45.5 (SD = 24.7) and 39.5 (SD = 23.3) in 2020 for Senegalese and Caucasian patients, respectively. The type of consultations between January and July were similar from 2016 to 2019; however, in 2020, there was a drop in the number of infectious disease consultations, particularly from April to May 2020, when sanitary measures for COVID-19 were applied (average of 366.5 and 358.2 in 2016-1019 and 133.0 and 125.0 in 2020). The prevalence of chronic conditions remained steady during the same period (average of 381.0 and 394.7 in 2016-2019 and 373.0 and 367.0 in 2020). In a multivariate analysis adjusted for age and sex, infectious disease consultations were significantly more likely to occur in 2016-2019 compared to 2020 (2016 odds ratio (OR) = 2.39, 2017 OR = 2.74, 2018 OR = 2.39, 2019 OR = 2.01). Furthermore, the trend in the number of infectious and chronic consultations was similar among Senegalese and Caucasian groups, indicating no disparities among those seeking treatment. Conclusions During the implementation of COVID-19 sanitary measures, infectious disease rates dropped as chronic disease rates remained stagnant in Dakar. We observed no racial/ethnic disparities among the infectious and chronic consultations.

[PMID: 37002422 PMCID: PMC10066211 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-32219-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Person-centered cardiovascular health (CVH) may facilitate cardiovascular disease primordial prevention in low resources settings. The study aims to assess the validity of person-centered CVH compared to gold standard measured CVH by examining the concordance between person-centered vs. measured CVH together with their respective association with incident cardiovascular disease events (CVD). Life's Simple 7 (LS7) CVH metrics, including non-smoking, Body Mass Index, diet, physical activity, blood glycemia, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol were collected from 19,473 adults participating in the e-cohort NutriNet-Santé study from 2011 to 2014 and were followed until September 2020. Clinical examinations and blood analyses defined the measured biological metrics, while diagnoses, medication, or treatment for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia defined person-centered biological metrics. Declared behavioral metrics were common for both measured and person-centered CVH. The study included 18,714 CVD-free participants (mean age 51 years, 73% women), among whom 16.52% and 38.75% had 5-7 ideal LS7 metrics according to measured and person-centered CVH, respectively. Weighted concordance of person-centered and measured CVH was 0.87 [0.86; 0.88]. Over median follow-up of 8.05 years, 749 CVD events occurred. There was a 7% (HR 0.93 [0.88; 0.99]) and 13% (HR 0.87 [0.83; 0.92]) risk reduction of CVD risk by additional measured and person-centered ideal metrics, respectively. In conclusion, person-centered CVH may represent a reliable alternative to measured CVH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women represent a growing proportion of sports participants. Still, few original data regarding sudden cardiac arrest during sports (Sr-SCA) in women are available. OBJECTIVES The authors sought to assess the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of women presenting with Sr-SCA. METHODS Data were analyzed from 3 population-based European registries (ESCAPE-NET 2020 Horizon Program) that prospectively and exhaustively collect every case of SCA: SDEC (Paris-Sudden Death Expertise Center), ARREST (AmsteRdam REsuscitation Studies), and SRCR (Swedish Register for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). Sr-SCA was defined as SCA during or ≤1 hour after cessation of sports activity. RESULTS Of 34,826 SCA between 2006 and 2017, 760 Sr-SCA (2.2%) were identified, including 54 in women. The average annual incidence of Sr-SCA in women in the 3 registries ranged from 0.10 per million (95% CI: 0.01-0.71 per million) to 0.38 per million (95% CI: 0.14-1.04 per million). Overall, the average annual incidence rate of Sr-SCA in women was 0.19 per million (95% CI: 0.14-0.24 per million), >10-fold lower compared with men (2.63 per million [95% CI: 2.45-2.83 per million]; P < 0.0001). When extrapolating to the total European population and accounting for age and sex, this yields 98 cases per year (95% CI: 72-123 cases per year) in women and 1,350 cases per year (95% CI: 1,256-1,451 cases per year) in men. Subject characteristics and circumstances of occurrence were similar in women vs men. Bystander response, time to defibrillation, and survival rate at hospital admission (58.8% vs 58.5%; P = 0.99) and 30 days did not differ significantly between women and men. CONCLUSIONS These findings emphasize the dramatically lower risk of Sr-SCA in women compared with men, despite similar subject characteristics. This should be considered in designing preparticipation screening strategies in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Research and Registries Working Group previously reported data on systems of care and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in 2015 from 16 national and regional registries. To describe the temporal trends with updated data on OHCA, we report the characteristics of OHCA from 2015 through 2017. METHODS We invited national and regional population-based OHCA registries for voluntary participation and included emergency medical services (EMS)-treated OHCA. We collected descriptive summary data of core elements of the latest Utstein style recommendation during 2016 and 2017 at each registry. For registries that participated in the previous 2015 report, we also extracted the 2015 data. RESULTS Eleven national registries in North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, and 4 regional registries in Europe were included in this report. Across registries, the estimated annual incidence of EMS-treated OHCA was 30.0-97.1 individuals per 100,000 population in 2015, 36.4-97.3 in 2016, and 40.8-100.2 in 2017. The provision of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) varied from 37.2% to 79.0% in 2015, from 2.9% to 78.4% in 2016, and from 4.1% to 80.3% in 2017. Survival to hospital discharge or 30-day survival for EMS-treated OHCA ranged from 5.2% to 15.7% in 2015, from 6.2% to 15.8% in 2016, and from 4.6% to 16.4% in 2017. CONCLUSION We observed an upward temporal trend in provision of bystander CPR in most registries. Although some registries showed favourable temporal trends in survival, less than half of registries in our study demonstrated such a trend.

Abstract
Background:
Diabetes is a major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. There has been a epidemiological shift and chronic CVD is increasing in Sub-Saharan Africa, however, the extent is unknown.
Methods:
Data were collected between March and April 2013 from 3 regions of the Northern Senegal (i.e., Saint-Louis, Matam etand Louga) using a cluster sampling method and the survey base of the national statistical and demographical agency, we included subjects aged between 18 and 80 years old. Participants underwent a face-to-face questionnaire to collect demographics and data on cardiovascular history/risk factors. Blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were measured in addition to blood tests including fasting plasma glucose. Diabetes was defined as fasting plasma glucose >= 1.26 g/L. Continuous data were reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Comparisons used the chi-squared test for categorical variables and Student’s
t
test for continuous variables. Multivariable adjusted logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with diabetes. Covariates with significant association (P<0.05) in univariate analysis were included in the model.
Results:
Among the 2440 subjects in this study (mean age: 44 years old, SD: 15.99), 692 (28%) were male. Nearly half of the sample never attended school (48%, 95%CI: 46-50%). Body mass index (BMI) higher than 25 was present in 43% of the sample (95%CI: 29-35%), with a significant increase in women (51% vs 22%, p<0,001).. The prevalence of diabetes was 5.9% (95%CI: 5-6,9%). Among them, 93% had at least two cardiovascular diseases (95% CI: 87-96%), 71% had dyslipidemia (95%CI: 63-78%) and 67% had a BMI over 25 (95%CI: 58-74%).
Conclusion:
This community-based study revealed a low prevalence of diabetes. However, the prevalence of additional CVD risk factors in this population was high. Preventive measures should be implemented to avoid increasing rates of diabetes in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract
A higher burden of cardiovascular disease risk factors has been reported in sexual minority populations (SM), such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and non-heterosexual, compared to heterosexual populations. Therefore, primordial prevention, i.e., preventing risk factor onset in the first place, may be a relevant preventative strategy in this population. This study aimed to quantify the associations of SM status in each sex with Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) and Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) cardiovascular health (CVH) scores. The CONSTANCES study is a multicentric study that recruited randomly selected adults in 24 health examination centers in 21 cities in the French European territory. Sexual minority status was based on self-reported lifetime sexual behavior and categorized as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or heterosexual. The study included 169,434 CVD-free participants (53.64% women, mean age: 46.00 years). Among 90879 women, 555 were lesbian, 3149 bisexual, and 84363 heterosexual. Among 78555 men, 2421 were gay, 2748 bisexual, and 70994 heterosexual. Overall, 2812 women and 2392 men declined to answer. In women, the prevalence of high LS7 scores (12-14) ranged from 9.00% (declined to answer) to 12.38% (bisexual), whereas in men, it ranged from 4.06% (declined to answer) to 9.17% (gay). In multivariate analyses (Table 1), lesbian and bisexual women had lower LS7 score compared to heterosexual women. However, this was observed only among those who had never been pregnant (p for interaction <0.05). Conversely, gay and bisexual men living in urban areas had higher LS7 score compared to heterosexual men, while those living in rural areas had lower LS7 score than their heterosexual counterparts (p for interaction <0.05). Findings were consistent when using the LE8 score but with stronger effect sizes (Table 1). This study supports the presence of CVH disparities in sexual minority adults and may help identify vulnerable populations for prioritizing primordial CVD prevention.

Abstract
Background:
Patients with renal failure have a higher risk or cardiovascular events. However, the prevalence of renal failure in Sub Saharan Africa communities remain poorly documented.
Methods:
Data were collected between March and April 2013 from 3 regions of the Northern Senegal (i.e., Saint-Louis, Matam et and Louga) using a cluster sampling method and the survey base of the national statistical and demographical agency subjects aged between 18 and 80 years. However, the present study focused on adult populations below 40 years of age. Participants underwent a face-to-face questionnaire to collect demographics and data on cardiovascular history/risk factors. Blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were performed in addition to blood tests including plasma creatinine. Renal failure was defined as a GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m
2
using the MDRD method adapted to the African population. Continuous data were reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Comparisons used the χ2 test for categorical variables and Student’s
t
test for continuous variables. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with CFI, after considering potential confounders. Covariates with significant association (P<0.05) in univariate analysis were included in the multivariate logistic model.
Results:
Among the 2440 subjects in this study the mean age was 44 ± 15.99, 692 (28%) were male. Among the 1080 participants who were aged less than 40 years old (mean: 31 ± 7.54), 296 (27.4%) were male. Body mass index higher than 25 was present in 32% of the studied population with a significant increase in women (38% vs 15%, p<0,001). The prevalence of hypertension was 28%. The prevalence of renal failure was 3.1% (95%CI: 2.1-4.3%) with a mean glomerular filtration rate of 55 ± 23.58. None of the participants with renal failure had diabetes.
Conclusion:
This community-based cross-sectional study showed a low prevalence of renal failure in younger participants in Northern Senegal. Further investigations are needed to assess chronic kidney failure and its determinants.

Abstract
Background:
Primordial prevention is an important way towards reducing risk of stroke with its associated health and economic burdens. So far, no study has shown how the recently updated American Heart Association’s cardiovascular health metrics, Life’s Essential 8 (LE8), relates to stroke events. Therefore, we sought to examine the association between LE8 and the risk of stroke among Finnish men.
Methods:
We employed the population-based Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study (KIHD) comprising men, aged 42 to 60 years, without pre-existing history of stroke at baseline. The LE8 was computed for 2614 men using AHA’s recently updated metrics. The LE8 includes four health behaviours (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, and sleep health) and four health factors (BMI, blood lipids, blood glucose and blood pressure). Each factor had points ranging from 0 to 100. Participants were classified into quartiles based on LE8 scores - Q1, ≤ 420; Q2, >420 to 485; Q3, >485 to 550; Q4, >550. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of LE8 scores for stroke event.
Results:
During a median follow-up of 26 years, 446 stroke events were recorded. The higher the LE8 scores, the more protection from future risk of stroke event. Thus, per quartile increase was associated with 26% lower risk of stroke (HR:0.74; 95%CI:0.68-0.82). Men within the 4
th
quartile (Q4) of LE8 score had the highest protection (65%) from risk of stroke when compared with those within the 1
st
quartile (Q1) (HR: 0.45; 95%CI:0.34-0.60).
Conclusion:
Life’s Essential 8 was strongly and inversely associated with the risk of stroke among middle-aged and ageing Finnish men. Measures that promote LE8 should be encouraged among the general population in Finland.

Abstract
Introduction:
Evidence on the link between sleep habits and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the community predominantly relies on studies that have investigated only one sleep habit, measure at one timepoint. Therefore, this study examined the joint effect of five sleep habits at baseline and at follow-up with incident CVD events.
Hypothesis:
We assessed the hypothesis that change in sleep habits over time including improvement in sleep habits and maintenance of a high level of sleep habits are related to reduced CVD risk.
Methods:
We combined data from two large independent community-based cohorts, the Paris Prospective Study 3 (France) and the CoLaus/PsyCoLaus study (Switzerland), involving 11 347 participants in total, aged 53–64 and comprising 44.6% women, initially free from CVD at baseline (respectively 2008-2012 and 2003-2006). Information on participants’ sleep habits were collected twice (median time interval between the 2 time points=2.0; interquartile range [IQR]: 2.0-5.2) by validated questionnaires. A healthy sleep score (HSS) combining five sleep habits (early chronotype, sleep duration of 7-8 h/day, never/rarely insomnia, no sleep apnea, and no frequent excessive daytime sleepiness) was calculated at baseline and follow-up. Each sleep habit was scored 1 point if optimal, otherwise 0 point. The score ranged from 0 to 5, reflecting the number of optimal sleep habits. Associations of HSS at baseline and the change in the score over time with CVD events (coronary heart disease, CHD, or stroke) were examined using Cox proportional hazard models.
Results:
During a median follow-up of 8.9 years (IQR: 8.0-10.0), 499 first CVD events occurred (339 CHD and 175 stroke). In multivariate Cox analysis, the risk of CVD decreased by 18% per one-point increment in the HSS (hazard ratio, HR=0.82 [95% confidence interval, CI, 0.76-0.89]). At follow-up, 38% remained in stable high score (score≥3 at both time points, the median of the baseline HSS), 11% had a stable low HSS (score<3 at both time points), 22% increased their scores and 29% decreased their scores respectively. After a median follow-up of 8.1 years (IQR: 8.0-10.0) following the second measure of the HSS, a total of 308 first CVD events occurred (227 CHD and 86 stroke). After adjusting for the baseline HSS and covariates, the risk of CVD decreased by 13% (HR=0.87 [0.76-0.99]) per unit of change in HSS. In particular, compared to participants with a decreasing HSS, those with a high stable HSS had a 39% decrease in CVD risk (HR=0.61 [0.45-0.81]). If all participants in this study had achieved a HSS of four and five, 29% and 60% of new CVD could have been avoided, respectively.
Conclusions:
Higher HSS and increase in the HSS are associated with a lower risk of CHD and stroke in the community. This study supports the promotion of healthy sleep habits in the population and strong collaboration between sleep medicine and CVD medicine.

Rapid ventricular tachycardia in patients with tetralogy of Fallot and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator: Insights from the DAI-T4F nationwide registry. Heart Rhythm 2023; 20:252-260. [PMID: 36309156 DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2022.10.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), little is known about characteristics of patients with rapid ventricular tachycardia (VT). Also, whether patients with a first episode of nonrapid VT may subsequently develop rapid VT or ventricular fibrillation (VF) has not been addressed. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to compare patients with rapid VT/VF with those with nonrapid VT and to assess the evolution of VT cycle lengths (VTCLs) overtime. METHODS Data were analyzed from a nationwide registry including all patients with TOF and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) since 2000. Patients with ≥1 VT episode with VTCL ≤250 ms (240 beats/min) formed the rapid VT/VF group. RESULTS Of 144 patients (mean age 42.0 ± 12.7 years; 104 [72%] men), 61 (42%) had at least 1 VT/VF episode, including 28 patients with rapid VT/VF (46%), during a median follow-up of 6.3 years (interquartile range 2.2-10.3 years). Compared with patients in the nonrapid VT group, those in the rapid VT/VF group were significantly younger at ICD implantation (35.2 ± 12.6 years vs 41.5 ± 11.2 years; P = .04), had more frequently a history of cardiac arrest (8 [29%] vs 2 [6%]; P = .02), less frequently a history of atrial arrhythmia (11 [42%] vs 22 [69%]; P = .004), and higher right ventricular ejection fraction (43.3% ± 10.3% vs 36.6% ± 11.2%; P = .04). The median VTCL of VT/VF episodes was 325 ms (interquartile range 235-429 ms). None of the patients with a first documented nonrapid VT episode had rapid VT/VF during follow-up. CONCLUSION Patients with TOF and rapid VT/VF had distinct clinical characteristics. The relatively low variation of VTCL over time suggests a room for catheter ablation without a backup ICD in selected patients with well-tolerated VT.

Abstract
Background The commonality of risk factors between cancer and cardiovascular disease suggests that primordial prevention (preventing the onset of risk factors) is a relevant strategy for cancer prevention. Objectives This study sought to examine the association between baseline and change in the cardiovascular health (CVH) score and incident cancer. Methods Using serial examinations of the GAZEL (GAZ et ELECTRICITE de France) study in France, we examined the associations between the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 CVH score (range: 0-to 14 [poor, intermediate, and ideal level of smoking, physical activity, body mass index, diet, blood pressure, diabetes status, or lipids]) in 1989/1990, their change over 7 years, and incident cancer and cardiac events up to 2015. Results The study population included 13,933 participants (mean age: 45.3 ± 3.4 years, 24% women). After a median follow-up of 24.8 years (Q1-Q3: 19.4-24.9 years), 2,010 participants had an incident cancer and 899 a cardiac event. The risk of cancer (any site) decreased by 9% (HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.88-0.93) per 1-point increase in the CVH score in 1989/1990 compared with a 20% (HR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.77-0.83) risk reduction for cardiac events. The risk of cancer decreased by 5% (HR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.92-0.99) per unit of change in the CVH score between 1989/1990 and 1996/1997 compared with a 7% risk reduction for cardiac events (HR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.88-0.98). These associations remained after omitting the smoking metric from the CVH score. Conclusions Primordial prevention is a relevant strategy for the prevention of cancer in the population.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the association of basic life support with survival after sports-related sudden cardiac arrest (SR-SCA). METHODS AND RESULTS In this systematic review and meta-analysis, a search of several databases from each database inception to 31 July 2021 without language restrictions was conducted. Studies were considered eligible if they evaluated one of three scenarios in patients with SR-SCA: (i) bystander presence, (ii) bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), or (iii) bystander automated external defibrillator (AED) use and provided information on survival. Risk of bias was evaluated using Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions. The primary outcome was survival at the longest follow up. The meta-analysis was conducted using the random-effects model. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) approach was used to rate certainty in the evidence. In total, 28 non-randomized studies were included. The meta-analysis showed significant benefit on survival in all three groups: bystander presence [odds ratio (OR) 2.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.48-4.37; I2 = 25%; 9 studies-988 patients], bystander CPR (OR 3.84, 95% CI 2.36-6.25; I2 = 54%; 23 studies-2523 patients), and bystander AED use (OR 5.25, 95% CI 3.58-7.70; I2 = 16%; 19 studies-1227 patients). The GRADE certainty of evidence was judged to be moderate. CONCLUSION In patients with SR-SCA, bystander presence, bystander CPR, and bystander AED use were significantly associated with survival. These results highlight the importance of witness intervention and encourage countries to develop their first aid training policy and AED installation in sport settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To examine the association of ultrasensitive cTnI (cardiac troponin I) with incident cardiovascular disease events (CVDs) in the primary prevention setting. METHODS cTnI was analyzed in the baseline plasma (2008-2012) of CVD-free volunteers from the Paris Prospective Study III using a novel ultrasensitive immunoassay (Simoa Troponin-I 2.0 Kit, Quanterix, Lexington) with a limit of detection of 0.013 pg/mL. Incident CVD hospitalizations (coronary heart disease, stroke, cardiac arrhythmias, deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, heart failure, or arterial aneurysm) were validated by critical review of the hospital records. Hazard ratios were estimated per log-transformed SD increase of cTnI in Cox models using age as the time scale. RESULTS The study population includes 9503 participants (40% women) aged 59.6 (6.3) years. cTnI was detected in 99.6% of the participants (median value=0.63 pg/mL, interquartile range, 0.39-1.09). After a median follow-up of 8.34 years (interquartile range, 8.0-10.07), 516 participants suffered 612 events. In fully adjusted analysis, higher cTnI (per 1 SD increase of log cTnI) was significantly associated with CVD events combined (hazard ratio, 1.18 [1.08-1.30]). Among all single risk factors, cTnI had the highest discrimination capacity for incident CVD events (C index=0.6349). Adding log cTnI to the SCORE 2 (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation) risk improved moderately discriminatory capacity (C index 0.698 versus 0.685; bootstrapped C index difference: 0.0135 [95% CI, 0.0131-0.0138]), and reclassification of the participants (categorical net reclassification index, 0.0628 [95% CI, 0.023-0.102]). Findings were consistent using the US pooled cohort risk equation. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasensitive cTnI is an independent marker of CVD events in the primary prevention setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent guidelines have emphasized actively avoiding fever to improve outcomes in patients who are comatose following resuscitation from cardiac arrest (ie, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest). However, whether targeted temperature management between 32 °C and 36 °C (TTM32-36) can improve neurologic outcome in some patients remains debated. RESEARCH QUESTION Is there an association between the use of TTM32-36 and outcome according to severity assessed at ICU admission using a previously derived risk score? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Data prospectively collected in the Sudden Death Expertise Center (SDEC) registry (France) between May 2011 and December 2017 and in the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Continuous Chest Compressions (ROC-CCC) trial (United States and Canada) between June 2011 and May 2015 were used for this study. Severity at ICU admission was assessed through a modified version of the Cardiac Arrest Hospital Prognosis (mCAHP) score, divided into tertiles of severity. The study explored associations between TTM32-36 and favorable neurologic status at hospital discharge by using multiple logistic regression as well as in tertiles of severity for each data set. RESULTS A total of 2,723 patients were analyzed in the SDEC data set and 4,202 patients in the ROC-CCC data set. A favorable neurologic status at hospital discharge occurred in 728 (27%) patients in the French data set and in 1,239 (29%) patients in the North American data set. Among the French data set, TTM32-36 was independently associated with better neurologic outcome in the tertile of patients with low (adjusted OR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.15-2.30; P = .006) and high (adjusted OR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.06-3.54; P = .030) severity according to mCAHP at ICU admission. Similar results were observed in the North American data set (adjusted ORs of 1.36 [95% CI, 1.05-1.75; P = .020] and 2.42 [95% CI, 1.38-4.24; P = .002], respectively). No association was observed between TTM32-36 and outcome in the moderate groups of the two data sets. INTERPRETATION TTM32-36 was significantly associated with a better outcome in patients with low and high severity at ICU admission assessed according to the mCAHP score. Further studies are needed to evaluate individualized temperature control following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Abstract
AIMS Data on sports-related sudden cardiac arrest (SrSCA) among young adults in the general population are scarce. We aimed to determine the overall SrSCA incidence, characteristics, and outcomes in young adults. METHODS AND RESULTS Prospective cohort study of all cases of SrSCA between 2012 and 2019 in Germany and Paris area, France, involving subjects aged 18-35 years. Detection of SrSCA was achieved via multiple sources, including emergency medical services (EMS) reporting and web-based screening of media releases. Cases and aetiologies were centrally adjudicated. Overall, a total of 147 SrSCA (mean age 28.1 ± 4.8 years, 95.2% males) occurred, with an overall burden of 4.77 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.85-6.68] cases per million-year, including 12 (8.2%) cases in young competitive athletes. While bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated in 114 (82.6%), automated external defibrillator (AED) use by bystanders occurred only in a minority (7.5%). Public AED use prior to EMS arrival (odds ratio 6.25, 95% CI 1.48-43.20, P = 0.02) was the strongest independent predictor of survival at hospital discharge (38.1%). Among cases that benefited from both immediate bystander CPR and AED use, survival rate was 90.9%. Coronary artery disease was the most frequent aetiology (25.8%), mainly through acute coronary syndrome (86.9%). CONCLUSION Sports-related sudden cardiac arrest in the young occurs mainly in recreational male sports participants. Public AED use remains disappointingly low, although survival may reach 90% among those who benefit from both bystander CPR and early defibrillation. Coronary artery disease is the most prevalent cause of SrSCA in young adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a life-threatening vascular event with environmental and genetic determinants. Recent VTE genome-wide association studies (GWAS) meta-analyses involved nearly 30 000 VTE cases and identified up to 40 genetic loci associated with VTE risk, including loci not previously suspected to play a role in hemostasis. The aim of our research was to expand discovery of new genetic loci associated with VTE by using cross-ancestry genomic resources. METHODS We present new cross-ancestry meta-analyzed GWAS results involving up to 81 669 VTE cases from 30 studies, with replication of novel loci in independent populations and loci characterization through in silico genomic interrogations. RESULTS In our genetic discovery effort that included 55 330 participants with VTE (47 822 European, 6320 African, and 1188 Hispanic ancestry), we identified 48 novel associations, of which 34 were replicated after correction for multiple testing. In our combined discovery-replication analysis (81 669 VTE participants) and ancestry-stratified meta-analyses (European, African, and Hispanic), we identified another 44 novel associations, which are new candidate VTE-associated loci requiring replication. In total, across all GWAS meta-analyses, we identified 135 independent genomic loci significantly associated with VTE risk. A genetic risk score of the significantly associated loci in Europeans identified a 6-fold increase in risk for those in the top 1% of scores compared with those with average scores. We also identified 31 novel transcript associations in transcriptome-wide association studies and 8 novel candidate genes with protein quantitative-trait locus Mendelian randomization analyses. In silico interrogations of hemostasis and hematology traits and a large phenome-wide association analysis of the 135 GWAS loci provided insights to biological pathways contributing to VTE, with some loci contributing to VTE through well-characterized coagulation pathways and others providing new data on the role of hematology traits, particularly platelet function. Many of the replicated loci are outside of known or currently hypothesized pathways to thrombosis. CONCLUSIONS Our cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analyses identified new loci associated with VTE. These findings highlight new pathways to thrombosis and provide novel molecules that may be useful in the development of improved antithrombosis treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In heart transplantation, antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a major contributor to patient morbidity and mortality. Multiple routine endomyocardial biopsies (EMB) remain the gold standard to detect AMR, but this invasive procedure suffers from many limitations. We aimed to develop and validate an AMR risk model to improve individual risk stratification of AMR. METHODS Heart recipients from 2 referral transplant centers, Cedars-Sinai (US) and Pitié-Salpêtrière (France), were included from 2012 to 2019. Database included detailed clinical, immunologic, imaging, and histological parameters. The US cohort was randomly distributed in a derivation (2/3) and in a test set (1/3). The primary end point was biopsy-proven AMR. A mixed effect logistic regression model with a random intercept was applied to identify variables independently associated with AMR. Simulation analyzes were performed. RESULTS The US and French cohorts comprised a total of 1341 patients, representing 12 864 EMB. Overall, 490 AMR episodes were diagnosed (3.8% of EMB). Among the 26 potential determinants of AMR, 5 variables showed independent association: time post-transplant (P<0.001), pretransplant sensitizing event (P=0.001), circulating donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen antibody (P=0.001), graft dysfunction (P=0.004), and prior history of definite AMR (P<0.001). In the US test set, the calibration and the discrimination of the model were accurate (area under the curve, 0.79 [95% CI, 0.78-0.81]). Those results were confirmed in the external validation cohort (area under the curve, 0.78 [95% CI, 0.77-0.79]) and reinforced by various sensitivity analyses. The model also showed good performance to predict overall cause of rejection. Simulation models revealed that the AMR risk model could safely reduce the number of EMB. CONCLUSIONS Our results support the use of the AMR risk model as a clinical decision tool to minimize the number of routine EMB after heart transplantation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) as measured by high-sensitive assays has been related to incident cardiovascular disease events (CVD) in the community. With the advent of ultra-sensitive assays, it is now possible to detect troponin I at very low concentration, far below the classical threshold of 1.9 pg/mL. However, the clinical relevance of these low concentrations for predicting CVD is largely unknown.
Purpose
To examine the association of cTnI as low as 0.013 pg/mL with incident cardiovascular disease events (CVDs) in the primary prevention setting.
Methods
cTnI was analyzed in the baseline plasma (2008–2012) of CVD free volunteers from the Paris Prospective Study III using for the first time a novel ultra-sensitive immunoassay (Simoa Troponin-I 2.0 Kit, Quanterix, Lexington) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.013 pg/mL. Incident CVD hospitalizations for coronary heart disease, stroke, arrhythmias, venous thromboembolism, arterial aneurysms and heart failure were validated by critical review of the hospital records. Hazard ratios were estimated per log-transformed standard deviation (SD) increase of cTnI in Cox models using age as the time scale. The added value (gain in discriminatory capacity) of cTnI for CVD risk prediction was examined by calculating the Harell's C-index boostraped difference of the SCORE 2 risk model with and without cTnI.
Results
There were 9503 CVD free participants (40% women) aged 59.6 (6.3) years at baseline. cTnI was detected in 99.6% of the participants (median value = 0.63 pg/mL, interquartile range [IQR] 0.39–1.09). After a median follow-up of 8.34 years (IQR, 8.0–10.07), 516 participants suffered 612 events. In fully-adjusted analysis, higher cTnI (per 1 SD increase of log cTnI) was significantly associated with CVD events combined (n=516, HR= 1.21; 1.06; 1.39). In univariate Cox analysis and compared to each single established risk factor, cTnI had the highest discrimination capacity for incident CVD events (C-index=0.6349) (Figure 1). Adding log cTnI to the SCORE 2 algorithm increased significantly albeit moderately discriminatory capacity (C-index 0.698 vs. 0.685; boostraped C index difference: 0.0135 (95% CI: 0.0131; 0.0138)).
Conclusion
cTnI concentrations as measured by a novel ultra-sensitive immunoassay is associated with a significant increased risk of incident CVD events in the primary prevention setting.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
High blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for several common cardiovascular (CV) disease such as stroke, heart failure or chronic kidney disease. The Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) should face the highest rate of hypertension worldwide with an overall prevalence estimation of 46%. Due to scarce resources and inadequate healthcare provision, SSA have scarce hard data on treatment and control of high BP.
Purpose
To assess the detection and characteristics of hypertension patients admitted in hospitalizations 17 SSA countries
Methods
We conducted a transversal and longitudinal study in CV department of 37 hospitals from 23 cities in 17 SSA countries (10 low income: Niger, Guinea, Benin, Mali, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tchad, Burkina Faso, Togo, Burundi, Ethiopia and 7 middle income: Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, Congo, Soudan, Mauritania, Gabon). The February study was designed by a multidisciplinary collaborative team of epidemiologists, pharmacists and cardiologists from Africa and France. This ongoing observatory included all inpatients in February from each year since 2016. Data including socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, causes of admission, clinical, biological, complementary examinations, treatments, length of stay and discharge diagnosis were collected by the investigating physicians. Hypertension and severity of hypertension were defined according to 2018 ESC/ESH guidelines and BP was measured twice using standardized method. All analyses were performed through scripts developed in the R software (4.0.3 (2020-10-10))
Results
The study involved 4360 patients. Hypertension was measured on 1906 (43.7%) patients at admission. Proportion of patients with high BP in hospital increased from 42.2% in 2016 to 52.2% in 2021 (p<0.05) and differed significantly across countries from 77.6% in Niger to 100% in Chad. Among hypertensive patients, men represented 59.6% of patients and mean of age was 59±15.1 years. Overall, 61.4% of patients were from low income countries. The mains causes of admission among hypertensive patients were heart failure (37.8%) and stroke (18.9%). Average of systolic BP was 159±29.3 mmHg and average of diastolic BP was 96.7±16mmHg. Overall, 760 (40.3%), 525 (27.8%) and 602 (31.9%) had grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 hypertension respectively. History of CV disease was observed in 51.5% of patients. Thus, 70.4% of patients had at least one CV risk factor other than hypertension. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and diuretics was prescribed in 56.9% and 55.8% of patients respectively. The average amount of antihypertensive drugs prescribed in hospital was 2.09±1.18. Overall, 237 (12.4%), 295 (15.5%), 640 (33.6%) and 734 (38.5%) received respectively no drug, monotherapy, two-drug strategies and three and more drug strategies.
Conclusion
In patients admitted in cardiology departments, hypertension is a huge burden in SSA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Approximately 70% of deaths from stroke and 87% of stroke-related disability would occur in low- and middle-income countries. Between 2002 and 2020, estimation stroke mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) was tripled. There is scarce data on management of stroke in SSA.
Purpose
To describe stroke care in cardiology departments in 17 SSA countries
Methods
We conducted a transversal and longitudinal study in CV department of 37 hospitals from 23 cities in 17 SSA countries (10 low income: Niger, Guinea, Benin, Mali, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DCR), Tchad, Burkina Faso, Togo, Burundi, Ethiopia and 7 middle income: Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, Congo, Soudan, Mauritania, Gabon). The FEBRUARY study was designed by a multidisciplinary collaborative team of epidemiologists, pharmacists and cardiologists from Africa and France. This ongoing observatory included all inpatients in February from each year since 2016. Data including socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, causes of admission, clinical, biological, complementary examinations, treatments, length of stay and discharge diagnosis were collected by the investigating physicians. All analyses were performed through scripts developed in the R software (4.0.3 (2020-10-10)).
Results
Overall, 4360 patients were admitted to hospital over the 6 years of the study. Stroke was the third cause of hospitalization with 477 (11%) patients admitted. Proportions of patients admitted for stroke varied across countries from 0% in Ethiopia to 52% in DRC (p<0.01) (figure) and over the years from 11% in 2016 to 16.5% in 2021. Men represented 60.1% of stroke patients. Mean of age was 62.5±13.4 years. Overall, 300 patients (62.9%) were from low-income countries and 177 patients (37.1%) from middle-income countries. A majority of patients were living in urban areas (N=387; 82.9%) compared to rural areas (N=80; 17.1%). Individual wealth index was low, middle and high in 105 (23.2%), 152 (33.6%) and 196 (43.3%) patients respectively. Among stroke patients, 413 (89.8%) had a computed tomography. Ischemic stroke represented 71.8% of patients with stroke. Among CV risk factors, high blood pressure was identified in 81.9% of patients. In-hospital antithrombotic therapy was prescribed for 2 patients (0.42%). Anticoagulant therapy and antiplatelet therapy were prescribed for 26.4% and 53.5% of patients respectively. Proportions of patients treated with antiplatelet therapy varied across countries (p<0.05). At discharge, 8% and 44.4% of patients received anticoagulant therapy or antiplatelet therapy respectively. Mean of length of stay was 12.4±18.4 days. Stroke represent the second cause of mortality (18.7%) and did not vary significantly across countries.
Conclusion
Stroke was the third cause of admission with more than 1/10 patients and the second cause of mortality with almost 1/5 patients in cardiology departments in SSA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Most studies on the association between sleep habits and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have focused on one single sleep dimension, essentially sleep duration and sleep apnea.
Purpose
To examine the joint effect of several dimensions of sleep habits with incident CVD in a community-based prospective cohort.
Methods
Between 2008 and 2011, 10,157 men and women aged 50 to 75 years were recruited in a preventive medical center. They underwent a standard physical examination coupled with standard biological tests, and provided information related to lifestyle, personal and family medical history, current health status, and medication use on questionnaires. Sleep habits were self-reported on validated questionnaires that assess sleep duration and insomnia complaints (Pittsburg questionnaire), early chronotype, sleep apnea (Berlin questionnaire) and subjective daytime sleepiness (Epworth questionnaire). Each sleep dimension was assigned 1 point if optimal and 0 point otherwise. A healthy sleep score ranging from 0 to 5 (the higher the better) and reflecting the number of optimal sleep dimensions was computed: early chronotype, sleep duration of 7–8 h/day, never/rarely insomnia, no sleep apnea, and no frequent excessive daytime sleepiness. The occurrence of incident CVD events including coronary heart disease and stroke was followed every two years up to September 2020, and events were validated after review of the medical records. The multivariable association between higher healthy sleep score and CVD events was examined in proportional hazard Cox regression analysis. Population-attributable fractions were calculated to estimate the proportion of CVD cases that could be prevented by healthier sleep habits.
Results
This study included 7203 participants (62% of men, mean age: 59.7 years±6.2) who were free of CVD at baseline and had complete data on sleep habits and covariates. Among them, 6.9% had a poor sleep score (healthy sleep score of 0 or 1), and 10.4% had an optimal sleep score (score= 5). After a median follow-up of 8 years, 275 participants had incident CVD events. After adjustment for age, sex, total alcohol consumption, socioprofessional categories, smoking status, body mass index, physical activity, family history of heart diseases, LDL and HDL cholesterol, and diabetes status, the risk of CVD decreased by 22% (HR=0.78 [95% CI: 0.71–0.86]) per 1 point increment in the healthy sleep score, and there was a 74% risk reduction in CVD risk (HR=0.26 [0.13–0.51]) between participants with the highest (score of 5) and those with the lowest (score of 0–1) healthy sleep score (Table 1). Under the hypothesis that all the participants would achieve an optimal sleep score of 5, 70.8% of incident CVD could be potentially avoided each year.
Conclusion(s)
In this community-based prospective cohort, a higher healthy sleep score combining 5 sleep dimensions was associated with a lower risk of CHD or stroke.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death worldwide. At least two-third of CVD death occurs in low- (LIC) and middle-income (MIC) countries. An estimated 1 million deaths were attributable to CVD in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) alone. Scarce data are available about the admission for CVD and outcome in cardiology department in SSA.
Purpose
To describe admission for CVD and outcome of hospitalization in 17 in SSA countries.
Methods
We conducted a transversal and longitudinal study in CV department of 37 hospitals from 23 cities in 17 SSA countries (10 low income: Niger, Guinea, Benin, Mali, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tchad, Burkina Faso, Togo, Burundi, Ethiopia and 7 middle income: Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, Congo, Soudan, Mauritania, Gabon). The February study was designed by a multidisciplinary collaborative team of epidemiologists, pharmacists and cardiologists from Africa and France.

All analyses were performed through scripts developed in the R software (4.0.3 (2020-10-10))
Results
Overall, 4360 patients were included in the February study. Men represented 56.4%. Mean of age was 56.7±16.8 years. The main cause of admission was heart failure (41.5%) followed by acute coronary syndrome (11.9%) and stroke (11%). Cause of admission varied significantly across countries (p<0.01) and over the years (p<0.01). Proportions of admission for heart failure varied from 20% in Ethiopia to 62% in Guinea. Mean of length of stay was 9.95±22.4 days. All causes of admission confounded, in-hospital mortality rate was 11% (N=423). Mortality rate differed significantly according to causes of admission (p<0.01).Mortality rate among patients admitted for stroke, heart failure and acute coronary syndrome was respectively 18%, 12.3% and 9.5%. Overall, 31 (0.7%) were admitted for endocarditis and mortality rate among them was 20.8% (figure). Overall, mortality rate did not vary according to gender or over the years but was significantly different according to patient wealth index (p<0.05), countries (p<0.01) and level income countries (p<0.01). Mortality rate was significantly higher in LIC.
Conclusion
Heart failure, acute coronary syndrome and stroke represent the two-third of causes of admission. Overall, mortality rate in cardiology departments in SSA reached 11%.

Abstract
Primary aldosteronism affects up to 10% of hypertensive patients and is responsible for treatment resistance and increased cardiovascular risk. Here we perform a genome-wide association study in a discovery cohort of 562 cases and 950 controls and identify three main loci on chromosomes 1, 13 and X; associations on chromosome 1 and 13 are replicated in a second cohort and confirmed by a meta-analysis involving 1162 cases and 3296 controls. The association on chromosome 13 is specific to men and stronger in bilateral adrenal hyperplasia than aldosterone producing adenoma. Candidate genes located within the two loci, CASZ1 and RXFP2, are expressed in human and mouse adrenals in different cell clusters. Their overexpression in adrenocortical cells suppresses mineralocorticoid output under basal and stimulated conditions, without affecting cortisol biosynthesis. Our study identifies the first risk loci for primary aldosteronism and highlights new mechanisms for the development of aldosterone excess.
