The Challenges of Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease in Women.
TL;DR: Although underutilized in women, diagnostic modalities, including functional and anatomic cardiac tests as well as physiologic assessments of endothelial and microvascular function, are useful for establishing the diagnosis and prognosis of suspected ischemic heart disease in women.

Effectiveness of the Pharmacist-Involved Multidisciplinary Management of Heart Failure to Improve Hospitalizations and Mortality Rates in 4630 Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Daya Ram Parajuli,Constance Kourbelis,Julie Franzon,Peter Newman,Ross A. McKinnon,Sepehr Shakib,Dean Whitehead,Robyn Clark +7 more
TL;DR: The pharmacist is a vital member of a multidisciplinary team in HF management to improve clinical outcomes and there was a great deal of variability about which specific intervention is most effective in improving clinical outcomes.

Outcomes, experiences and palliative care in major stroke: a multicentre, mixed-method, longitudinal study.
Marilyn Kendall,Eileen Cowey,Gillian Mead,Mark Barber,Christine McAlpine,David J. Stott,Kirsty Boyd,Scott A Murray +7 more
TL;DR: Practical planning with patients and informal caregivers should be offered, raising the possibility of death or survival with disability, but the term “palliative care” should be avoided or reframed.
Aspirin reduces long-term stroke risk in women with prior hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
Eliza C. Miller,Amelia K. Boehme,Nadia T. Chung,Sophia S. Wang,James V. Lacey,Kamakshi Lakshminarayan,Charlie Zhong,Daniel Woo,Natalie A. Bello,Ronald J. Wapner,Mitchell S.V. Elkind,Joshua Z. Willey +11 more
TL;DR: After controlling for comorbid conditions, women with prior HDP had increased long-term stroke risk, which was reduced by aspirin use, and Randomized trials may be needed to assess whether long- term aspirin use could benefit selected women with a history of HDP.
Effects of Ranolazine on Angina and Quality of Life After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Incomplete Revascularization: Results From the Ranolazine for Incomplete Vessel Revascularization (RIVER-PCI) Trial.
Karen P. Alexander,Giora Weisz,Kristi Prather,Stefan James,Daniel B. Mark,Kevin J. Anstrom,Linda Davidson-Ray,Adam Witkowski,Angel J. Mulkay,Anna Osmukhina,Ramin Farzaneh-Far,Ori Ben-Yehuda,Gregg W. Stone,E. Magnus Ohman +13 more
TL;DR: There was no incremental benefit in angina or QOL measures by adding ranolazine in this angiographically-identified population and these measures markedly improved within 1 month of PCI and persisted up to 1 year in both treatment arms.

TL;DR: Dairy therapy remains the first line of treatment of high blood cholesterol, and drug therapy is reserved for patients who are considered to be at high risk for CHD, and the fundamental approach to treatment is comparable.

TL;DR: In those older than age 50, systolic blood pressure of greater than 140 mm Hg is a more important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor than diastolic BP, and hypertension will be controlled only if patients are motivated to stay on their treatment plan.

Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century
TL;DR: Analyzing health care organizations as complex systems, Crossing the Quality Chasm also documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change.
Risks and benefits of estrogen plus progestin in healthy postmenopausal women: Principal results from the Women's Health Initiative randomized controlled trial
Jacques E. Rossouw,Garnet L. Anderson,Ross L. Prentice,Andrea Z. LaCroix,Charles Kooperberg,Marcia L. Stefanick,Rebecca D. Jackson,Shirley A.A. Beresford,Barbara V. Howard,Karen C. Johnson,Jane Morley Kotchen,Judith K. Ockene +11 more
TL;DR: Overall health risks exceeded benefits from use of combined estrogen plus progestin for an average 5.2-year follow-up among healthy postmenopausal US women, and the results indicate that this regimen should not be initiated or continued for primary prevention of CHD.

TL;DR: It was agreed that there should not be an obligatory component, but that waist measurement would continue to be a useful preliminary screening tool, and a single set of cut points would be used for all components except waist circumference, for which further work is required.
