Evaluation of Large-Scale Proteomics for Prediction of Cardiovascular Events
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: A protein risk score was significantly associated with ASCVD events in primary and secondary event populations. When added to clinical risk factors, the protein risk score and polygenic risk score both provided statistically significant but modest improvement in discrimination.PMID:37606673 | DOI:10.1001/jama.2023.13258

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes and associated risk factors in a medicare population without prior CVD history: an analysis using statistical and machine learning algorithms
AbstractThere is limited information on predicting incident cardiovascular outcomes among high- to very high-risk populations such as the elderly ( ≥ 65 years) in the absence of prior cardiovascular disease and the presence of non-cardiovascular multi-morbidity. We hypothesized that statistical/machine learning modeling can improve risk prediction, thus helping inform care management strategies. We defined a population from the Medicare he alth plan, a US government-funded program mostly for the elderly and varied levels of non-cardiovascular multi-morbidity. Participants were screened for cardiovascular disease (CVD)...

Recurrent neural networks for generalization towards the vessel geometry in autonomous endovascular guidewire navigation in the aortic arch
ConclusionAdaption to new vessel geometries is essential in the navigation of endovascular instruments. Therefore, the intrinsic generalization to new vessel geometries poses an essential step towards autonomous endovascular robotics.

Inflammation May Be the Culprit Behind Our Deadliest Diseases
In the early days of my medical residency, I met a man whom we’ll call Jason. He arrived to our emergency room on a holiday, nonchalant yet amiable, and complained of mild chest pain. Jason was tall and trim, with a strong South Boston accent and fingertips still faintly stained from his last home-improvement project. He was only 45 years old, but he looked much younger. He didn’t smoke, barely drank alcohol, and his cholesterol levels had always been normal. No one in his family had a history of heart disease. He asked us if we could work quickly—he wanted to be home for dinner with his daughters.

The 5 Best Ways to Control High Cholesterol, According to People With the Condition
There are a variety of factors that influence cardiovascular risk—but cholesterol is one of the first things that doctors pay attention to.
Having high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is “definitely a variable we try to manage, because it’s been shown to be problematic for heart health,” says Dr. Adriana Quinones-Camacho, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Health.
Though it’s often called the “bad” kind of cholesterol, LDL cholesterol makes up most of your body’s cholesterol stores. That means it’s not a villain on its own, but when levels start creeping ...

5 Minutes To Better Heart Health
Americans are living through a blood pressure crisis. Maybe you, or someone you love, is one of them…
In the United States, 65% of adults over the age of 50 are living with above-normal blood pressure – increasing their risk of heart attack and stroke.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Because high blood pressure can also put you at higher risk for developing dementia later in life.1
Of course, Big Pharma doesn’t see this as a big problem. They know they can use this crisis to sell more drugs… drugs that never fail to do more harm than good.
But a new study reveals how you can lower blood pressure – a...

Janssen ’s Save Legs. Change Lives.™ is Creating a More Equitable Future for Communities at Risk of PAD-Related Amputations
TITUSVILLE, NJ, November 4, 2022 – The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced the first impact summary for its Save Legs. Change Lives.™ Spot Peripheral Artery Disease Now multi-year initiative, designed to create urgency and action around the hidden threat of peripheral artery disease (PAD)-related amputation. In its inaugural year, Save Legs. Change Lives.™ focused on reaching Black Americans, who are up to four times more likely than white Americans to have a PAD-related amputation.1 With this critical initiative, Janssen is focused on helping those at risk of PAD through more th...

Rapid lipid-laden plaque identification in intravascular optical coherence tomography imaging based on time-series deep learning
ConclusionsThese encouraging results suggest that this method will allow for high throughput video-rate atherosclerotic plaque assessment through automated tissue characterization for in vivo imaging by providing faster screening to assist in guided decision making during percutaneous coronary interventions.PMID:36307914 | DOI:10.1117/1.JBO.27.10.106006

Investigation on Imaging Features and Clinical Significance of Cardiac CT in Comprehensive Evaluation of Aortic Valve and Root before Percutaneous Aortic Valve Replacement
This study retrospectively includes patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR with routine computed tomography. Based on CT images, the determination and grouping of bicuspid aortic valve and tricuspid aortic valve were completed. Thirteen cross-sectional levels of the aorta-iliac-femoral vascular access were completed. The results showed that 3 people had stroke (17.6%) and 5 people had myocardial infarction (29.4%) during the follow-up period. Atrial fibrillation occurred in 5 patients (29.4%), permanent pacemaker implantation was performed in 1 patient (5.9%), and acute kidney injury occurred in 7 patients...
