Identifying Risk Indicators of Cardiovascular Disease in Fasa Cohort Study (FACS): An Application of Generalized Linear Mixed-Model Tree
CONCLUSION: Given the superior performance of the GLMM tree compared with the standard tree and the lack of significant difference with the GLMM, using this model is suggested due to its simpler interpretation and fewer assumptions. Using updated statistical models for more accurate CVD prediction can result in more precise frameworks to aid in proactive patient detection planning.PMID:38690790 | DOI:10.34172/aim.2024.35 (Source: Archives of Iranian Medicine)

Circulating interleukin 17A and other inflammatory proteins may predict cardiovascular disease in early rheumatoid arthritis
CONCLUSION: Circulating IL-17A at RA diagnosis predicted future CVD, although we cannot exclude that this finding is due to multiple testing. The association was independent of traditional CVD risk factors, and of ESR at the time of diagnosis. Furthermore, OPG may be a predictor of CVD. We also identified some novel potential biomarkers for CVD in RA.PMID:38692670 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.2023-1078 (Source: J Rheumatol)

Effects of Empagliflozin on vascular and skeletal mineralization in Hyperlipidemic mice
Vascul Pharmacol. 2024 Apr 29:107376. doi: 10.1016/j.vph.2024.107376. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular disease and osteoporosis, major causes of morbidity and mortality, are associated with hyperlipidemia. Recent studies show that empagliflozin (EMPA), an inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2), improves cardiovascular health. In preclinical animal studies, EMPA mitigates vascular calcification in the males but its effects in the females are not known. Thus, we used female mice to test the effects of EMPA on calcification in the artery wall, cardiac function, and skeletal bone. By serial in vivo mic...

NADPH oxidase 4-derived hydrogen peroxide counterbalances testosterone-induced endothelial dysfunction and migration
CONCLUSION: These data indicate that supraphysiological levels of Testo increase the endothelial expression and activity of NOX4 to counterbalance the deleterious effects caused by Testo in endothelial function.PMID:38690939 | DOI:10.1152/ajpendo.00365.2023 (Source: Am J Physiol Endocri...)

The cardiovascular system at high altitude: A bibliometric and visualization analysis
CONCLUSION: Over the past 32 years, research on the cardiovascular system in high-altitude regions has been steadily increasing. Future research in this field may focus on areas such as hypoxia adaptation, metabolism, and cardiopulmonary exercise. Strengthening interdisciplinary and multi-team collaborations will facilitate further exploration of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying cardiovascular changes in high-altitude environments and provide a theoretical basis for standardized disease diagnosis and treatment.PMID:38690218 | PMC:PMC11056872 | DOI:10.4330/wjc.v16.i4.199 (Source: World Journal of Cardiology)

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α in myocardial infarction
World J Cardiol. 2024 Apr 26;16(4):181-185. doi: 10.4330/wjc.v16.i4.181.ABSTRACTHypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) has a crucial function in the regulation of oxygen levels in mammalian cells, especially under hypoxic conditions. Its importance in cardiovascular diseases, particularly in cardiac ischemia, is because of its ability to alleviate cardiac dysfunction. The oxygen-responsive subunit, HIF1α, plays a crucial role in this process, as it has been shown to have cardioprotective effects in myocardial infarction through regulating the expression of genes affecting cellular survival, angiogenesis, and metabolism. Furthe...

The relationship between muscle strength and epicardial fat in healthy adults
CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between epicardial fat and muscle strength is inverse and independent. Implementation of HGS measurement may be useful for the identification of subjects with excessive epicardial fat and cardiovascular risk. Measurement of epicardial fat could be helpful in the early detection of physical decline associated to ageing.PMID:38692441 | DOI:10.1016/j.exger.2024.112447 (Source: Experimental Gerontology)
