    Abstract Objective: We aimed to evaluate the impact of early initiation of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with known or at risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
    Research design and methods: T2D with first prescription of SGLT2i (Dx-to-Rx time) ≤12 months were matched with >12 months using propensity score derived from logistic regression. T2D were divided into 3 groups: (i) known ASCVD; (ii) additional CV risk factor(s) and; (iii) without ASCVD or additional CV risk factors. Incidence rates of 3-point major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, including non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction and CV death) were compared between Dx-to-Rx time ≤12 months and >12 months across 3 subgroups.
    Results: Median follow-up was 2.8 years (IQR 2.2 to 3.4). Among 29,309 T2D (mean age 57.6±11.4 years, 59.0% men), 23.6% had established ASCVD and 66.6% had additional CV risk factors. Overall, 19.0% of patients had Dx-to-Rx time ≤12 month which was associated with lower rates of MACE [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.27, 95%CI: 0.17-0.42]. Benefits of early initiation of SGLT2i was observed in patients with additional CV risk factors or known ASCVD but not in those without CV risk factors or ASCVD (P for interaction = 0.001).
    Conclusion: Early initiation of SGLT2 inhibitor was associated with lower MACE rates in T2D with known or at risk of ASCVD.

    Abstract Objectives: To elucidate the association between different disease activity levels over time on long-term vascular outcomes in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (ERA).
    Methods: This was a 5-year prospective study. Patients with consecutive ERA without overt cardiovascular disease (CVD) were recruited to receive 1 year of tight-control treatment followed by standard-of-care management. High-resolution carotid ultrasound was assessed at baseline and year 5. The primary outcome was subclinical atherosclerosis progression (AP+), defined as the occurrence of incident plaque, increased region harbouring plaques and/or maximum carotid intima-media thickness progression ≥0.9 mm at year 5. Inflammatory burden during the follow-up period was represented by the cumulative average Disease Activity Score 28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ca-DAS28-ESR). Persistent low disease activity (LDA) or remission state was defined as ca-DAS28-ESR≤3.2.
    Results: One-hundred and four patients with ERA (age: 52±11 years, 81 (77.9%) female) were included in this analysis. Fifty-two (50%) patients achieved persistent LDA or remission and 42 patients (40.4%) had AP+. Patients in the AP+ group were older and had more traditional cardiovascular risk factors at baseline. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with persistent moderate or high disease activity (ca-DAS28-ESR>3.2) had a significantly increased risk of AP+ (OR 5.05, 95% CI 1.53, 16.64, p=0.008) compared with those who achieved persistent remission. The risk of AP+ was similar in patients who achieved persistent LDA and remission.
    Conclusions: Achieving persistent LDA or remission may prevent progression of atherosclerosis in ERA. A treat-to-target approach aiming at sustained LDA or remission may reduce the risk of CVD by preventing AP+.

    Abstract Background: SARS-CoV-2 invades human cells and leads to COVID-19 by direct associating with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, the level of which may be increased by treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and/or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). This meta-analysis aimed to explore the impact of ACEI/ARB treatment on the clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 infections among population in the East-Asia region.
    Methods: We collected clinical data published from January 2000 to May 2022 in the English databases including PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Two reviewers independently screened and identified studies that met the prespecified criteria. Review Manager 5.3 software was used to perform the meta-analysis.
    Results: A total of 28 articles were included in this analysis. The results showed that patients who were prescribed with ACEI/ARB had a shorter duration of hospital stay [MD = -2.37, 95%CI (-3.59, -1.14), P = 0.000 2] and a lower mortality rate [OR = 0.61, 95% CI (0.52, 0.70), P<0.000 01] than patients who were not on ACEI/ARB. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in disease severity [OR = 0.99, 95% CI (0.83, 1.17), P = 0.90] between individuals receiving ACEI/ARB or not.
    Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggested that the use of ACEI/ARB was not associated with adverse clinical outcomes in East-Asian Covid-19 patients and a reduced mortality and shorter duration of hospital stay among East-Asian population (especially for female subjects) was found. Thus, ACEI/ARB should be continued in patients infected by Covid-19.

    Abstract Background: Prolonged delays by patients in making care-seeking decisions remain a significant obstacle to the effective management of acute myocardial infarction.
    Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of a theory-based cognitive-narrative intervention with those of didactic education over a 24-month period on the participants' attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge regarding acute myocardial infarction, prehospital delay time, and the use of an ambulance. We also explored participants' engagement in the intervention.
    Design: This study adopted a sequential mixed-methods design comprising a multisite randomized controlled trial and a qualitative study.
    Methods: Community-dwelling adult patients with a prior history of acute myocardial infarction in the past year were recruited from four hospitals in Hong Kong. They were randomly assigned to an 8-week theory-based cognitive-narrative intervention that involved a vivid experience of complex decision-making or didactic education. The Acute Coronary Syndrome Response Index questionnaire was administered at baseline (T0) and at 3- (T1), 12- (T2), and 24-month (T3) follow-up time points. Prehospital delay time and the use of an ambulance were evaluated for those participants who had recurrent acute myocardial infarction attacks during the study period.
    Results: A total of 608 participants were randomly assigned to the theory-based cognitive-narrative intervention group (n = 304) or the didactic education group (n = 304). The intervention group reported greater improvements than the control group in their attitudes (β = -1.053, p = 0.002) and beliefs (β = -0.686, p = 0.041) regarding acute myocardial infarction and care-seeking at T1. These effects were sustained at T2 [attitudes (β = -0.797, p = 0.018); beliefs (β = -0.692, p = 0.047)] and T3 [attitudes (β = -0.717, p = 0.024); beliefs (β = -0.701, p = 0.032)]. Sixty-three participants experienced another acute myocardial infarction event by T2. The median delay times for the intervention and control groups were 3.13 h (interquartile range (IQR: 1.15-6.48)) and 4.82 h (IQR: 2.23-9.02), respectively. The prehospital delay time was significantly reduced in the intervention group compared with the control group (β = -0.07, p = 0.011). The qualitative findings echoed the quantitative findings, as participants indicated that the intervention helped them to understand the variable nature of the disease presentation, which enabled them to recognize the symptoms more readily.
    Conclusion: The novel cognitive-narrative intervention used in this study effectively improved the participants' attitudes and beliefs regarding acute myocardial infarction and reduced the prehospital delay time.
    Trial registration: This study was registered with the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform of the World Health Organization (ChiCTR-IIC-17010576) on February 2, 2017; the first participant was recruited on January 11, 2018.

    Abstract Aims: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) play passive roles in disease management. This study aimed to examine the feasibility and preliminary effects of an empowerment-based care model, titled 'the nurse-led multi-component behavioural activation (N-MBA) programme', on health-related quality of life, AF knowledge, psychological outcomes, medication adherence, and treatment decision-making in patients with AF.
    Methods and results: This mixed-methods study comprised a pilot randomized controlled trial and a qualitative study. Patients with AF who had a moderate-to-high risk of stroke but were not prescribed oral anticoagulants were recruited. Forty participants were recruited and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the N-MBA programme or standard care. The 13-week programme comprised care components that prepared patients for shared decision-making, an empowerment-based educational module on AF self-care, and continuous support through telephone calls. The programme was feasible, and the overall attendance rate was 82.5%. The participants gave excellent ratings in the satisfaction survey. The N-MBA group showed greater improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and AF knowledge than the standard care group at the immediate post intervention and 6-month follow-up time points. No significant between-group changes in medication adherence, anxiety, and depression were detected. Participants in the N-MBA group actively raised concerns about AF and its treatment with their attending doctors. The qualitative data were consistent with the quantitative data, indicating that the programme built a comprehensive knowledge base of AF and self-care behaviours.
    Conclusion: The N-MBA programme is feasible and acceptable to patients with AF. It improved patients' AF knowledge, treatment-related decision-making, and HRQoL.
