Relationship between peri-coronary inflammation and coronary vascular function in patients with suspected coronary artery disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between the attenuation of peri-coronary adipose tissue (PCAT) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and the assessment of coronary vascular functions using coronary flow reserve (CFR).

Genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes mellitus and aortic dissection: a Mendelian randomisation study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThis Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed to explore the causal relationship between the genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and aortic dissection (AD), and to assess associations with genetically predicted glycemic traits. For AD data, FinnGen Release 10 was used, including 967 cases and 381,977 controls.

Abstract 4144277: Analysis risk factors of long-term adverse outcomes and construction of nomogram based on fractional flow reserve for coronary artery disease patients with an intermediate stenosis

Circulation

The nomogram consists of age, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), hyperuricemia, and FFR≤0.8 The prediction efficiency of nomogram was evaluated by multiple methods, including C-index, area under the curve (AUC), calibration curves and decision-curve analysis (DCA).Results:During Results:During a median follow-up of 6.2

The Role of Genetics in Heart Disease: Can You Prevent It?

MIBHS

A family history of heart disease often indicates that genetic factors might be at play. Common Heart Diseases with Genetic Links Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): CAD occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked.

Comorbidities prior to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and diagnoses at discharge among survivors

Open Heart

Previously, 80% of sudden cardiac arrest have been attributed to coronary artery disease. The most common comorbidities prior to OHCA were hypertension (43.6%), heart failure (23.6%), chronic ischaemic heart disease (23.6%) and atrial fibrillation (22.0%). had type 2 diabetes, compared with 19.6% of the men.

The intersection of heart failure and cancer in women: a review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Cancer and cardiovascular disease represent the two leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, this comes at a cost with more women developing diabetes, hypertension and coronary artery disease as they age. Women continue to enjoy a greater life expectancy than men.

What To Do If You Have An Early Family History Of Heart Disease

Dr. Paddy Barrett

The same is true of uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure. What I am trying to get across is that it is very common for a parent to have had heart disease, but that does not mean it has a genetic origin. Most of the time, coronary artery disease will be the cause. But not always. What To Look For Ok.
