Triglyceride (TG) and its related metabolic indices are recognized as important biomarker gauging cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to explore the association between multiple TG-derived metabolic indi.
The predictive role of the TAPSE/sPAP ratio for cardiovascular events and mortality in systemic sclerosis with pulmonary hypertension
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
OCTOBER 13, 2024
IntroductionReduced TAPSE/sPAP ratio has recently emerged as a predictive parameter risk factor for PH, however its role in SSc has been poorly investigated. The aim of the study was to investigate the prognostic value of the TAPSE/sPAP ratio for the prediction of mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with SSc complicated by PH. A comparison between SSc patients with PAH (SSc-PAH) and those with PH and significant ILD (SSc-PH) was also carried out.Materials and methodsA retrospective s
The relationship between serum HDL-cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and mortality in community-based people with type 2 diabetes: the Fremantle Diabetes Study phase 2
Cardiovascular Diabetology
OCTOBER 13, 2024
Older general population-based studies found an inverse association between serum HDL-cholesterol and both cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and mortality, but more recent data have suggested a U-shaped rela.
The impact of inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers on the sympathetic nervous system in severe coronary atherosclerosis
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
OCTOBER 13, 2024
ObjectiveThe present study aimed at evaluating the association between sympathetic nervous system activation (SNS) and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). In addition, we tested the hypothesis that inflammation and oxidative stress influence the SNS activation.MethodsAdult patients with severe CAD scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery were enrolled.

Association between weekend admission and in-hospital mortality for patients with ischemic heart disease upon surgery treatment
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
OCTOBER 13, 2024
BackgroundThe existence and reasons for the weekend effect in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) were not yet fully identified. This study aimed to evaluate whether weekend admission was independently associated with in-hospital mortality and the possible mechanisms associated with the IHD patients.MethodsThe study was a retrospective study, including IHD patients from 2015 to 2023.

Machine learning-based prediction of mortality in acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
OCTOBER 13, 2024
BackgroundIn the ICU, patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) often face high mortality rates, making timely and precise mortality risk prediction crucial for clinical decision-making. Despite existing models, machine learning algorithms hold the potential for improved predictive accuracy.MethodsIn this study, a predictive model was developed using the MIMIC-IV database, with external validation performed on the eICU-CRD database.

Efficacy and safety of anakinra in radiation-induced acute pericarditis: a case report
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
OCTOBER 13, 2024
BackgroundAcute pericarditis represents an inflammatory disease affecting the pericardial layers. In developed countries more than 80% of pericarditis are defined as idiopathic, less frequently they are secondary to other conditions such as infections, rheumatic or systemic inflammatory diseases, cancer, post–cardiac injury syndromes and radiation therapy (RT).Case presentationWe reported a case of a patient with acute pericarditis that occurred a few hours after chest radiation therapy, perform
Long-term transcranial ultrasound stimulation regulates neuroinflammation to ameliorate post-myocardial infarction cardiac arrhythmia and remodeling
HeartRhythm
OCTOBER 13, 2024
Sympathetic overactivation and neuroinflammation in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) are crucial factors in post-myocardial infarction (MI) cardiac remodeling and ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Prior study has indicated that low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation could attenuate sympathetic neuroinflammation within the PVN to prevent the occurrence of VAs in acute MI model.
Association between ablation-induced baroreceptor reflex modification and procedure efficacy in patients with atrial fibrillation
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
OCTOBER 13, 2024
BackgroundThe autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a significant role in atrial fibrillation (AF). Catheter ablation (CA) is a well-established treatment method for AF and significantly affects the ANS, including baroreceptor (BR) function. However, little is known about the changes in BR function caused by radiofrequency (RF) or cryoballoon energy (CB) and its impact on future AF recurrences.PurposeTo assess 1-year efficacy of CA of AF in relation to BR function modification and type of ablatio

Charge density mapping demonstrates superiority in catheter ablation of post-surgical atrial tachycardias
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
OCTOBER 13, 2024
IntroductionAtrial tachycardia (AT) frequently occurs after cardiac surgery or surgical ablation procedures. The novel charge density-based mapping system (CDM) provides global chamber mapping and can detect crucial pathways of conduction; therefore, it has potential added value in catheter ablation (CA) of post-surgical ATs. We aimed to test the hypothesis that CDM-guided CA procedures are safe, feasible, and may improve outcome compared to conventional sequential 3D mapping (CARTO)-based CA.Me

Serotonin and Vasovagal Syncope: Too Much of a Good Thing?
HeartRhythm
OCTOBER 13, 2024
In this issue of Heart Rhythm, Wu and colleagues investigated the role of serotonin and serotonin-related metabolites in the pathogenesis of vasovagal syncope (14). The understanding of the role of serotonin in the vasovagal reflex began in 1867 when von Bezold and Hirt reported that injections of veratrum alkaloids, which are extracted from Veratrum californicum and V. viride, into animals caused hypotension, bradycardia, and apnea (1).
