Association between Liver Fibrosis and Stroke Recurrence in Young Patients with Ischemic Stroke
Stroke incidence rates are rising among young adults. Liver fibrosis has recently been recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular events and stroke in the general population. It remains unclear whether liver fibrosis influences the prognosis of stroke. We aimed to evaluate the association between liver fibrosis and stroke recurrence in young stroke patients.

Effects of a low carbohydrate diet on heart failure symptoms and quality of life in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy: A randomised controlled trial pilot study
Heart failure, insulin resistance and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus coexist in the syndrome that is diabetic cardiomyopathy. Patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy experience high symptom burden and poor quality of life. We tested the hypothesis that a low carbohydrate diet improves heart failure symptoms and quality of life in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Reviewing the cardiovascular and other health effects of olive oil: limitations and future directions of current supplement formulations
We reviewed the literature to date for high-level evidence on the cardiovascular and other health effects of olive oil with a focus on the amount, frequency of use and type of olive oil consumed in prior studies. A total of twelve prospective cohort studies with sample sizes of at least 4,000 individuals and one meta-analysis were identified. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver in the general Dutch population and in groups at increased risk
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined as a liver fat content> 5.56%. It is of clinical interest to know the prevalence of NAFLD in people with a combination of metabolic risk factors. We aimed to examine the prevalence of NAFLD, including groups with metabolic risk factors. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

New opportunities in the management and treatment of refractory hypercholesterolemia using in  vivo CRISPR-mediated genome/base editing
Refractory hypercholesterolemia (RH), caused primarily by the loss-of-function mutation of LDL receptor (LDLR) gene seen in HoFH and HeFH patients, remains a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Statin and ezetimibe combination therapy lower circulating LDL by 30% in HoFH patients. PCSK9 mAB, being an LDLR-dependent therapy, is not effective in HoFH, but lowers LDL by 25% in HeFH patients. A maximum reduction of 50% was noted in HoFH patients treated with ANGPTL3 mAB, which was not enough to achieve therapeutic goal of LDL.

Blood pressure levels within normotensive range are independently associated with increased risk of arterial stiffness in adults without hypertension or prehypertension
High blood pressure (BP) indices, including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and pulse pressure (PP) predict cardiovascular diseases and mortality. However, the association of these BP indices with arterial stiffness(AS) in the normotensive population (BP (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Patient-Reported Muscle Symptoms And Their Characterization In A Hypertensive Population Eligible For Statin Therapy: An Exploratory Study
Statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) are claimed to be frequent in clinical practice. We evaluated the prevalence and characteristics of patient-reported muscle symptoms (PRMS) attributed to drugs/nutraceuticals in hypertensive patients, focusing the attention on statin treatment.

Association between the triglyceride glucose index and cardiovascular mortality in obese population
The triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index, as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance, was related to increased mortality. Our study aimed to investigate the specific relationship between the TyG index and all-cause mortality among obese population. (Source: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases : NMCD)

Effect of Genetically Determined BCAA Levels on Cardiovascular Diseases and Their Risk Factors: A Mendelian Randomization Study
Observational studies have demonstrated that serum branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are associated with the risk of various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and their risk factors. However, the causal effect is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of genetically determined BCAA levels on CVDs and their risk factors using Mendelian randomization (MR).
