Dyslipidaemia in endocrine disorders
Indian Heart J. 2023 Dec 29:S0019-4832(23)00481-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2023.12.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLipid disorders are common in several endocrine conditions. Diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and Cushing's syndrome are the common endocrine disorders with dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia has a significant impact on endocrine and metabolic health and the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. In most cases of dyslipidemia, the suspicion of endocrine diseases must be based on clinical symptoms and signs. Optimal management of the dyslipidemia requires treatment of the underlying endocrine condition. Lipid lo...

Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty: A systematic review
Indian Heart J. 2023 Dec 24:S0019-4832(23)00476-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2023.12.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is conclusive evidence for relief of pulmonary valve obstruction immediately after balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV) and at follow-up. Development of infundibular obstruction is seen in more severe PS cases and in older subjects. Reappearance of PS was observed in approximately 10 % of patients following BPV. The reasons for recurrence were found to be balloon/annulus ratio less than 1.2 and immediate post-BPV pulmonary valve peak gradients greater than 30 mmHg. Recurrent stenosis is successfully addre...

Pericardial fat volume and coronary risk factors as predictors of non-calcified coronary plaque presence among patients with coronary calcium score  = 0
CONCLUSION: In patients with a CAC score of 0, advanced age, diabetes mellitus, increased PFV, and high BMI were all associated with the presence of non-calcified plaque. After multivariate adjustment, increased BMI remained a significant independent predictor for non-calcified plaque presence.PMID:38128878 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2023.12.006 (Source: Indian Heart J)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe rising burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has made the achievement of optimal lipoprotein levels a major public health priority. As nearly a fifth of global mortality is associated with dietary factors, and recommendations have been mired in controversy, a fresh look on the available data is attempted. Well established concepts regarding nutrition and cardiometabolic health, role of macronutrients, calories, and controversial foods are discussed followed by recommendations in the Indian context.

Pacing mode survival in patients with single chamber atrial pacemaker for sinus node dysfunction
CONCLUSION: Single chamber atrial pacing is an acceptable mode of pacing in patients with SND in developing countries. Development of AV conduction abnormalities is rare in this relatively younger population.PMID:38070672 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2023.12.004 (Source: Indian Heart J)
