Fat-to-muscle Ratio: A New Indicator for Coronary Artery Disease in Healthy Adults
Conclusion: In this study, a high FMR was significantly associated with CAC. A large-scale prospective study on the association with FMR and cardiovascular diseases is necessary to confirm this relationship.PMID:34790047 | PMC:PMC8579285 | DOI:10.7150/ijms.62871

Multiscale modelling of Potts shunt as a potential palliative treatment for suprasystemic idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension: a paediatric case study
In conclusion, this model reasonably represents patient-specific haemodynamics pre- and post-creation of the PS, providing insights into physiology of this complex condition, and presents a predictive tool that could be useful for clinical decision-making regarding suitability for PS in PAH patients with drug-resistant suprasystemic PAH.PMID:35000016 | DOI:10.1007/s10237-021-01545-2

Estimation of mean population salt intakes using spot urine samples and associations with body mass index, hypertension, raised blood sugar and hypercholesterolemia: Findings from STEPS Survey 2019, Nepal
by Saroj Bhattarai, Bihungum Bista, Binod Kumar Yadav, Pradip Gynawali, Anil Poudyal, Anjani Kumar Jha, Meghnath Dhimal BackgroundHigh dietary salt intake is recognized as a risk factor for several non-communicable diseases (NCDs), in particular cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including heart attack and stroke. Accurate measurement of population level salt intake is essential for setting targeted goals and plans for salt reduction strategies. We used a spot urine sample to estimate the mean population salt intake in Nepal and evaluated the association of salt intake with excess weight, hypertension, raised blood sugar and ...

Blunted cardiovascular effects of beta-blockers in patients with cirrhosis: Relation to severity?
ConclusionWe found the effect of beta-blockade on cardiac index in patients with advanced cirrhosis to be less potent than in patients with early cirrhosis, indicating that underlying cirrhotic cardiomyopathy increases, and the cardiac compensatory reserve becomes more compromised, with disease progression. The differential effects of beta-blockade in the left atrium may be used to predict the effect of beta-blockers on portal pressure, but further studies are needed to investigate this possibility.

Aging, prevalence and risk factors of MRI-visible enlarged perivascular spaces
CONCLUSIONS: Our observations reinforce the hypothesis that ePVS may be a marker of aging-driven brain vascular pathologies, and its association with vascular risk factors support their role as CSVD imaging biomarker.PMID:35852852 | DOI:10.18632/aging.204181

Heritability of R2* iron in the basal ganglia and cortex
CONCLUSIONS: Regional brain iron concentrations are mainly driven by genetic factors while environmental factors contribute to a certain extent. Brain iron levels in the basal ganglia and cortex are controlled by distinct sets of genes.PMID:35951362 | DOI:10.18632/aging.204212

RNA modifications in aging-associated cardiovascular diseases
Aging (Albany NY). 2022 Sep 29;14(undefined). doi: 10.18632/aging.204311. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide that bears an enormous healthcare burden and aging is a major contributing factor to CVDs. Functional gene expression network during aging is regulated by mRNAs transcriptionally and by non-coding RNAs epi-transcriptionally. RNA modifications alter the stability and function of both mRNAs and non-coding RNAs and are involved in differentiation, development, and diseases. Here we review major chemical RNA modifications on mRNAs and non-co...
