Rising Trends in the Burden of Cardiovascular Comorbidities and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events Among Young Female Smokers in Two National Cohorts Studied Ten Years Apart (2017 vs. 2007)
CONCLUSIONS: In this decade-apart analysis, the study reveals rising trends in the burden of comorbidities, MACE, and healthcare resource utilization in admissions (regardless of the primary cause) among relatively younger female smokers. It is crucial to educate young female smokers about the detrimental effects of tobacco and polysubstance abuse on cardiovascular outcomes.PMID:37967749 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2023.11.008 (Source: The American Journal of the Medical Sciences)

Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: Current Practice, Screening Guidelines and Management in the Primary Care Setting
Am J Med Sci. 2023 Nov 13:S0002-9629(23)01407-6. doi: 10.1016/j.amjms.2023.11.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease, previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the United States with rapidly rising prevalence. There have been significant changes recently in the field with screening now recommended for patients at risk for significant liver fibrosis in primary care and endocrine settings, along with clear guidance for management of metabolic comorbidities and changes in nomenclature. This paper serves as a ...

Echocardiography and Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Undergoing Lung Transplantation Evaluation
CONCLUSION: Echocardiography has high specificity but low sensitivity for the diagnosis of PH in advanced COPD. Its performance improves when ruling out severe COPD-PH. This performance correlates inversely with lung hyperinflation.PMID:37967751 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2023.11.006 (Source: The American Journal of the Medical Sciences)
