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.

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 effect of gender on clinical outcomes following routine revascularizations with polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stents

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Data were pooled and analyzed in terms of clinical outcomes to assess the impact of gender in patients with stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome. After propensity-score-matching, primarily adjusting for age, hypertension and diabetes, our data revealed similar accumulated MACE in women and men (5.5%

Prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Open Heart

Background There is increasing awareness that patients without standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs; diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension and smoking) may represent a unique subset of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients with coronary artery disease were excluded.
