Multicenter StudyClinical Outcomes in Metabolically Healthy and Unhealthy Obese and Overweight Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Findings From the GLORIA-AF Registry.
To explore the association between metabolic status, body mass index (BMI), and natural history of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). ⋯ Increasing BMI was associated with poor metabolic status and with more intensive treatment. Prognosis was heterogeneous between BMI groups, with metabolically unhealthy patients showing higher risk of adverse events.

Multicenter StudyEfficacy of Sacubitril-Valsartan on Survival and Cardiac Remodeling in Hypotensive Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction: A Multicenter Study.
To investigate whether hypotensive patients diagnosed with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) might benefit from angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNis) in real-world practice because patients with baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) of less than 100 mm Hg have been excluded from landmark trials. ⋯ Patients with HFrEF and hypotension may still benefit from ARNi treatment. Patients with hypotensive HFrEF should not be routinely excluded from ARNi use in a real-world setting.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyInorganic Nitrite to Amplify the Benefits and Tolerability of Exercise Training in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: The INABLE-Training Trial.
To determine whether nitrite can enhance exercise training (ET) effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). ⋯ For patients with HFpEF, ET administered for 12 weeks in a predominantly rural setting improved exercise capacity and health status, but compared with placebo, treatment with inorganic nitrite did not enhance the benefit from ET.

Multicenter StudyPrevalence of and Risk Factors for Post-traumatic Headache in Civilian Patients After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A TRACK-TBI Study.
To ascertain the prevalence of and risk factors for post-traumatic headache (PTH) attributed to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). ⋯ Post-traumatic headache is a prevalent sequela of mTBI that persists for at least 12 months in a considerable proportion of affected individuals. The attributable burden necessitates better patient follow-up, disease characterization, improved awareness of PTH in clinical practice, and identification of effective therapies.

Multicenter StudyIncremental Benefit of Lipid Lowering in a Large Chinese Population Aged 75 Years and Older With Established Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease.
To explore the optimal low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level in patients aged 75 years and older with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). ⋯ Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels from 40.1 to 55.0 mg/dL exhibited the maximum cardiovascular benefit in patients aged 75 years and older who had ASCVD. Lowering LDL-C levels to 40.0 mg/dL or less might increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
