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

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.

Abstract 4145609: The Cardiac Conundrum of Cannabis: A Case of Junctional Bradycardia Triggered by Cannabis Use

Circulation

He was counseled to abstain from cannabis use.Conclusion:At low to moderate doses, cannabis can lead to a surge in sympathetic activity causing tachycardia and hypertension, while parasympathetic activity is predominant at higher doses, causing bradycardia and hypotension. Patient did not report any symptoms and was hemodynamically stable.

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.
