Impact of Smokeless Oral Nicotine Products on Cardiovascular Disease: Implications for Policy, Prevention, and Treatment: A Policy Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Smokeless oral nicotine products are addictive, and their use has potential adverse effects on some but not all biomarkers of cardiovascular risk. The use of some types of these products, for instance, is associated with an increased mortality risk in those with ischemic heart or cerebrovascular disease.

Current and novel biomarkers in cardiogenic shock

European Journal of Heart Failure

Temporal change in such biomarkers, particularly in response to pharmacological interventions and/or mechanical circulatory support, can guide management and predict outcome. It is believed that a self-propagating spiral of events follows as a result of hypoperfusion, ischaemia and inflammation, leading to end-organ dysfunction.

Abstract WP306: Exploring the Cardiovascular Effect and Downstream Proteomic Signature of Pharmacologic Targeting of Circulating Adiponectin Levels in a Drug-Target Mendelian Randomization Framework

Stroke Journal

Here, we use large-scale omics data to explore whether pharmacologic targeting of the adiponectin pathway may contribute to lowering CVD risk.Methods:To proxy the effect of pharmacologically perturbing the adiponectin pathway we used a drug-target mendelian randomization (MR) approach. We selected genome-wide, independent (r2<0.1)
