Diabetes does not increase in-hospital or short-term mortality in patients undergoing surgical repair for type A aortic dissection: insight from the national readmission database

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Previous studies have reported a protective effect of type 2 diabetes on the incidence and progression of aortic aneurysms. We investigated whether this protective effect extends to aortic dissections.

High proportion of undiagnosed diabetes in patients surgically treated for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm: findings from the multicentre Norwegian Aortic Aneurysm and Diabetes (ABANDIA) Study

Cardiovascular Diabetology

The aim was to investigate the total prevalence of known and undiagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM), and the association of DM with perioperative complications following elective, infrarenal, open surgical (OSR) o.

Proteome‐Wide Mendelian Randomization Identifies Therapeutic Targets for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Journal of the American Heart Association

We conducted a comprehensive Mendelian randomization analysis across the proteome to identify potential protein markers and therapeutic targets for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).Methods These proteincoding genes are primarily expressed in macrophages, smooth muscle cells, and mast cells within abdominal aortic aneurysm tissue.

Non-coronary atherosclerosis: a marker of poor prognosis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Variables and prognosis were analysed based on the presence or absence of NCA, defined as previous stroke, transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or peripheral artery disease (PAD) [lower extremity artery disease (LEAD), carotid disease, previous lower limb vascular surgery, or abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)].

Lowering Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events by Treating Residual Inflammatory Risk

DAIC

1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3 Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2
