E-selectin is associated with stable angina and myocardial infarction in a sample of Kurdish population
This study was conducted on 200 participants who were admitted to the surgical specialty hospital-cardiac center in Erbil City, Iraq between October 2021 and May 2022. Based on the outcomes of the clinical examination, laboratory tests, coronary angiography (COA), acute myocardial infarction (MI) type ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), stable angina pectoris (SAP), and healthy control groups were tested. Each sample was subjected to Sanger sequencing. The polymorphism was significantly linked to stable angina and myocardial infarction Genotype CC was higher in SAP when compared with MI and control groups which was...

ATF3/EGR1 regulates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury induced autophagy and inflammation in cardiomyocytes
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2024 Mar 31;70(3):125-129. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2024.70.3.18.ABSTRACTMyocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) is an irreversible adverse event during the management of coronary heart disease that lacks effective controls. The underlying mechanism of MIRI still requires further investigation. Recent studies have suggested that overexpression of ATF3 protects against MIRI by regulating inflammatory responses, ferroptosis, and autophagy. The downstream target of ATF3, EGR1, also showed cardioprotective properties against MIRI by promoting autophagy. Therefore, further investigating the effect...

Differential age-specific associations of LDL cholesterol and body mass index with coronary heart disease
CONCLUSIONS: There were differential age-specific associations of LDLc and BMI with the risk of developing CHD, calling for future efforts to discriminate the age-different benefits from lipids management or weight control on the primary prevention for CHD.PMID:38652975 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117542 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Early and Long-Term Results of Simultaneous and Staged Revascularization of Coronary and Carotid Arteries
CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed no significant difference in the impact of simultaneous CABG + CEA or staged CABG/CEA on the incidence of death, stroke, MI, and MACEs over a 30-day and long-term follow-up period. Although the immediate results indicated an increased risk of a complicated course (attributable to overall complications) and more prolonged ventilation after simultaneous CABG + CEA compared with staged CABG/CEA, this did not lead to an increase in fatal complications. Therefore, the implementation of either tactic is considered eligible and appropriate following a thorough operative risk assessment.PMID:386514...

RNA-mediated epigenetic regulation in exercised heart: Mechanisms and opportunities for intervention
Mol Aspects Med. 2024 Apr 22;97:101274. doi: 10.1016/j.mam.2024.101274. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhysical exercise has been widely acknowledged as a beneficial lifestyle alteration and a potent non-pharmacological treatment for heart disease. Extensive investigations have revealed the beneficial effects of exercise on the heart and the underlying mechanisms involved. Exercise is considered one of the key factors that can lead to epigenetic alterations. The increasing number of identified molecules in the exercised heart has led to many studies in recent years that have explored the cellular function of ncRNAs and RNA ...

Fetal transposition of the great arteries: 3D virtual and physical models from ultrasound datasets
AbstractTransposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a cyanotic congenital heart disease characterized by ventriculoarterial discordance and atrioventricular concordance with the great arteries in a parallel relationship. Prenatal diagnosis of TGA has implications for postnatal outcomes, allowing for planned delivery and perinatal management. Three-dimensional virtual or physical models of fetal TGA allow better understanding of fetal cardiac anomalies by parents and interactive discussion among the multidisciplinary team (obstetricians, pediatricians, maternal-fetal specialists, pediatric cardiologists, and cardiovascular...

Intracoronary physiology: Easier to measure, but still complex. The art of interpreting intracoronary pressure wire data.
Since the introduction of fractional flow reserve (FFR) [1], coronary physiology has progressively gained prominence in coronary diagnosis and intervention. Its implementation has led to improved outcomes, safely avoiding unnecessary revascularisations without increasing or even decreasing the number of adverse events. Recently, FFR has facilitated a new approach to understanding ischemic heart disease, explaining its symptoms and consequences beyond coronary stenoses [2].
