Mendelian randomization of chronic hepatitis B and cardiovascular disease
CONCLUSION: Our research indicates that chronic hepatitis B has a correlation with an elevated risk of developing atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, while it is associated with a decreased risk of experiencing an ischemic stroke.PMID:38559670 | PMC:PMC10978653 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2024.1332557 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiometabolic outcomes in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease population
The metabolic syndrome is a constellation of epidemics, involving type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity, that share common biological and societal pathways.[1 –4] This pathological metabolic milieu collectively increases the individual’s risk of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease and heart failure.[3,5,6] More recently, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has been increasingly recognized as a key man ifestation of this systemic metabolic disease.

Miscarriage and stillbirth in relation to risk of cardiovascular diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis indicates that both miscarriages and stillbirths are related to a higher risk of total CVDs, CHD, stroke, and total CVD deaths. The risk of total CVDs and CHD increased with the number of miscarriages or stillbirths.PMID:38554480 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.03.035 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Role of inflammatory signaling pathways involving the CD40-CD40L-TRAF cascade in diabetes and hypertension-insights from animal and human studies
Basic Res Cardiol. 2024 Mar 30. doi: 10.1007/s00395-024-01045-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCD40L-CD40-TRAF signaling plays a role in atherosclerosis progression and affects the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD). We tested the hypothesis that CD40L-CD40-TRAF signaling is a potential therapeutic target in hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension. In mouse models of hyperlipidemia plus diabetes (db/db mice) or hypertension (1 mg/kg/d angiotensin-II for 7 days), TRAF6 inhibitor treatment (2.5 mg/kg/d for 7 or 14 days) normalized markers of oxidative stress and inflammation. As diabetes and hypertension are imp...

As diabetes and hypertension are important comorbidities aggravating CHD, we explored whether the CD40L–CD4...

Risk analysis of the association between different hemoglobin glycation index and poor prognosis in critical patients with coronary heart disease-A study based on the MIMIC-IV database
The hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) is the difference between the observed and predicted values of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), which is closely associated with a variety of poor prognoses. However, there... (Source: Cardiovascular Diabetology)

Meta-analysis of Risk Factors for Venous Thromboembolism in Patients with Gynecologic Malignant Tumors
CONCLUSION: Age, tumor staging, body mass index, hypertension, and surgery time emerge as significant risk factors for VTE in gynecologic malignant tumor surgery patients. Monitoring these risk factors can effectively facilitate risk assessment and prevention of VTE. These findings have important clinical implications. Firstly, they emphasize the importance of considering these risk factors during the assessment of VTE risk in patients with gynecologic malignancies. Healthcare professionals can use this information to identify high-risk patients and implement appropriate preventive measures. For example, older patients, th...
