The Impact of Complete Revascularization in Symptomatic Severe Left Ventricular Dysfunction between Coronary Artery Bypass Graft and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with symptomatic (NYHA class ≥ 3) severe LV dysfunction and CAD, CABG brought less HF admission when compared to patients in the PCI group, but this did not differ when compared to the complete revascularization subgroup. Therefore, an extensive revascularization, achieved by CABG or PCI, is associated with a lower HF hospitalization rate during the 3-yearfollow-up period in such populations.PMID:36896424 | PMC:PMC9991473 | DOI:10.1155/2023/9226722

Exploring the role of lipoprotein(a) in cardiovascular diseases and diabetes in Chinese population
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Feb 7:123586. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123586. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA high level of lipoprotein (a) in the plasma has been associated with a variety of cardiovascular diseases and is considered to be an independent predictor of some other diseases. Based on recent studies, the concentration levels of Lp(a) in the Chinese population exhibit a distinctive variation from other populations. In the Chinese population, a high level of Lp(a) indicates a higher incidence of revascularization, platelet aggregation, and thrombogenicity following PCI. Increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovasc...

Obesity and kidney transplantation
Curr Opin Organ Transplant. 2023 Feb 1. doi: 10.1097/MOT.0000000000001050. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. It is a risk factor for developing, among others, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), and thus a major public health concern and driver of healthcare costs. Although the prevalence of obesity in the CKD/end-stage kidney disease population is increasing, many obese patients are excluded from the benefit of kidney transplant based on their BMI alone. For this reason, we sought to review the experience th...

Costs of major complications in people with and without diabetes in Tasmania, Australia
ConclusionsDiabetes complications are costly, and the costs are higher in people with diabetes than without diabetes. Our results can be used to populate diabetes simulation models and will support policy analyses to reduce the burden of diabetes.PMID:36375176 | DOI:10.1071/AH22180
