Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 18 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41569-024-01095-x Consumption of a high-fat diet leads to the progressive growth of atherosclerotic lesions. Two new studies document that, despite similar overall exposure to high-fat diet over a lifetime, an intermittent consumption of high-fat diet early in life accelerates atherosclerosis compared with continuous consumption of a high-fat diet.

For people with ischemic stroke, treatment with the clot-busting drug tenecteplase is associated with a slightly higher likelihood of an excellent recovery and reduced disability three months later than the drug alteplase, according to a meta-analysis. Researchers found that the likelihood of good recovery was similar between the two treatments.

Written by Jesse McLaren Two patients in their 70s presented to the ED with chest pain and RBBB. Do either, both, or neither have occlusion MI? Patient 1 : a 75 year old called paramedics with one day of left shoulder pain which migrated to the central chest, which was worse with deep breaths. Past medical history included RBBB without other cardiac history, but old ECG was not available.

Some two decades ago, we, the cardiology community started writing guidelines, recommendations, protocols, whatever you call it, in managing specific clinical problems in cardiology. In this model, there is a class of recommendation supported by different level of evidence. This concept looked perfectly scientific, futuristic, and grew so well.It has been considered the de facto standard of practice.

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is often associated with a concomitant aortopathy. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of the aortic valve (AV) phenotype on the rate of dilation of the aorta. This study aimed to compare the progression rate of aorta dimensions according to AV phenotype (BAV vs tricuspid AV (TAV)), fusion type and sex in patients with aortic stenosis (AS).

The subepicardial tissue is composed of myocardium, fatty tissue, neurons, inflammatory cells, arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels. These components are intimately related and not separated by a visceral layer. Myocardial function can be altered by invasion of adipose tissue into the myocardium creating structural changes, by electrotonic coupling between myocytes and adipocytes, and in response to epicardial adipose secretome signalling.
