RNAseq of INOCA patients identifies innate, invariant, and acquired immune changes: potential autoimmune microvascular dysfunction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundIschemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) is a major clinical entity that involves potentially 20%–30% of patients with chest pain. INOCA is typically attributed either to coronary microvascular disease and/or vasospasm, but is likely distinct from classical coronary artery disease (CAD).ObjectivesTo gain insights into the etiology of INOCA and CAD, RNA sequencing of whole blood from patients undergoing both stress testing and elective invasive coronary angiography (ICA)

Diltiazem, Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Risk of Major Bleeding in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

HeartRhythm

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are the preferred anticoagulant strategy for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. Concomitantly, non-dihydropyridine (non-DHP) calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and beta-blockers are commonly utilized for rate control in this cohort. Existing research has shown a potential increase in bleeding risk associated with administering non-DHP CCBs with anticoagulants; however, these findings remain tentative, attributed to variations in study design,
