    Abstract Background: Landmark trials have established the benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-Is) in cardiovascular disease including heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction and renal diseases regardless of the presence of diabetes mellitus. However, studies evaluating the role of SGLT2-Is in metabolic syndrome (MetS) are limited.
    Aim: This study primarily aimed to evaluate the impact of SGLT2-Is on the components of MetS.
    Methods: Two independent reviewers and an experienced librarian searched Medline, Scopus and the Cochrane central from inception to December 9, 2021 to identify placebo controlled randomized controlled trials that evaluated the impact of SGLT2-Is on the components of MetS as an endpoint. Pre- and post-treatment data of each component were obtained. A meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan (version 5.3; Copenhagen: The Nordic Cochrane Center, The Cochrane Collaboration).
    Results: Treatment with SGLT2-Is resulted in a decrease in fasting plasma glucose (-18.07 mg/dL; 95%CI: -25.32 to -10.82), systolic blood pressure (-1.37 mmHg; 95%CI: -2.08 to -0.65), and waist circumference (-1.28 cm; 95%CI: -1.39 to -1.18) compared to placebo. The impact on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was similar to placebo (0.01 mg/dL; 95%CI: -0.05 to 0.07).
    Conclusion: SGLT2-Is have a promising role in the management of MetS.

    Abstract Objective: To create a model based on patients' characteristics that can predict the number of burdens reported using the ICAN Discussion Aid, to target use of this tool to patients likeliest to benefit.
    Patients and methods: Six hundred thirty-five patients (aged ≥18 years) completed the ICAN Discussion Aid at a Scottsdale, Arizona, family medicine clinic. Patient characteristics were gathered from their health records. Regression trees with Poisson splitting criteria were used to model the data.
    Results: Our model suggests the patients with the most burdens had major depressive disorder, with twice as many overall burdens (personal plus health care burdens) than patients without depression. Patients with depression who were younger than 38 years had the highest number of personal burdens. A body mass index (BMI) of 26 or greater was associated with increased health care burden versus a BMI below 26.
    Conclusion: The number of burdens a patient will report on the ICAN Discussion Aid can be approximated based on certain patient characteristics. Adults with major depression, a BMI of 26 or greater, and younger age may have greater reported burdens on ICAN, but this finding needs to be validated in independent samples.

    Abstract Smoking is the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality globally. Electronic cigarettes are marketed both as nicotine substitutes and recreational devices. The popularity of electronic cigarettes has superseded other forms of nicotine replacement therapy. They are also popular in 'never smokers'. This review summarizes the available data regarding the cardiovascular effects of electronic cigarettes. The existing literature is limited and short term with a lack of high-quality studies and adequate follow-up. The available literature suggests that electronic cigarettes have sympathomimetic effects related to nicotine exposure, however, electronic cigarettes also contain other chemicals that require further investigation. Sparse data suggest vascular injury may be another concern. Further research is needed before broad recommendations can be made.

    Abstract Prospective studies show an association between obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the treatment of choice and effectively reduces subjective sleepiness and apneic and hypopneic events. However, randomized trials have not shown a reduction in cardiovascular outcomes with CPAP therapy. We review the past 10 years of randomized trial evidence regarding the therapeutic efficacy of CPAP on cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in adults with obstructive sleep apnea. The majority of studies found no significant improvement in cardiovascular outcomes with CPAP, although many noted nonsignificant benefits. Adjusted analysis in several trials showed significant cardiovascular benefit in those patients with higher CPAP compliance. Existing trials may lack sufficient follow-up and CPAP compliance, among other limitations.

    Abstract Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. The prevalence increases with age. A devastating complication of atrial fibrillation is cardioembolic stroke with central nervous system sequelae. Based on stroke risk scores (CHADS and CHA2DS2VASc) and bleeding risk (HAS-BLED), the optimal use of anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation is feasible. Warfarin is a proven medication for this specific indication but requires frequent monitoring and dose adjustments, and it has multiple food, drug, and disease-state interactions. In addition, management of anticoagulation during the perioperative period may be challenging. In this regard, novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have shown promise in the shift toward the "ideal" anticoagulant therapy, in that fixed dosing is the norm, drug interactions are few, food interactions are absent, onset is fairly immediate and offset predictable, and, in the majority of patients, therapeutic monitoring is not required. This article provides a review of recent published trials of the use of NOACs in atrial fibrillation. Practical points on indications, contraindications, mechanism of action, interactions, and perioperative management tips are discussed with a view toward the safe and effective use of these new medications. When patients are transitioned between different anticoagulant medications, the risks of thrombosis and bleeding need to be considered. When switching from warfarin to a NOAC, the NOAC can be started once the international normalized ratio is ≤2.0.
