Restricted Cubic Splines Displaying Associations Between Aldosterone-Renin Ratio and Risk of Cardiovascular Outcomes; includes five graphs of ratio vs. incidence of AF, ischemic stroke, HF, MI, & composite outcome. Each graph shows an aHR value.

Higher aldosterone-renin ratios in older adults were linked to increased risk of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke, supporting the aldosterone pathway as a target for cardiovascular disease prevention.

Four graphs show cumulative incidence of events over 20 years after patent foramen ovale closure. A: All-cause death rises to 15.4%. B: Stroke events reach 0.8%. C: Stroke/TIA events rise to 4.6%. D: New-onset atrial fibrillation reaches 6.9%.

At 20-year follow-up after patent foramen ovale closure for paradoxical embolism, recurrent stroke was rare (<1%), while bleeding events occurred in 13% and were more frequent among women and those on long-term antithrombotic therapy.
