Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant global health concern, particularly among Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (ANHPI) communities that face unique health challenges. Liver cancer disproportionately affects ANHPI populations and has intricate associations with CVD risks due to shared pathophysiological mechanisms and metabolic disturbances. However, the specific CVD risk profile of ANHPI liver cancer patients remains poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (ANHPI) breast cancer survivors in the U.S., highlighting a gap in existing research on this demographic.
- Results showed that ANHPI breast cancer survivors generally had lower risks of heart failure and ischemic heart disease compared to Non-Hispanic White (NHW) counterparts, but certain ANHPI subgroups, like Filipino and Native Hawaiian survivors, faced higher risks.
- The study concludes that there is significant variability in CVD outcomes within ANHPI groups, indicating a need for further research to understand these disparities among breast cancer survivors.
Article Synopsis
- Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) is a serious autoimmune heart condition mainly affecting middle-aged adults, leading to high rates of illness and death.
- A case study described a 70-year-old man with chronic immunosuppression who experienced severe heart problems that didn't respond to usual treatments.
- An endomyocardial biopsy confirmed GCM, allowing for targeted immunosuppressive therapy that resulted in a positive outcome, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis in older patients with heart failure.
Background: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) remains an important source of mortality after heart transplant. The aim of our study was to identify structural and microvasculature changes in severe CAV.
Methods And Results: The study group included heart transplant recipients with severe CAV who underwent retransplantation (severe CAV, n=20).
Background And Objective: Ventilation heterogeneity (VH) has been linked to airway responsiveness (AR) based on various measures of VH involving inert gas washout, forced oscillation and lung imaging. We explore whether VH at baseline, as measured by the simple ratio of single breath alveolar volume to plethysmographically determined total lung capacity (VA/TLC), would correlate with AR as measured by methacholine challenge testing.
Methods: We analysed data from spirometry, lung volumes, diffusing capacity and methacholine challenge to derive the VA/TLC and the dose-response slope (DRS) of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (DRS-FEV1) during methacholine challenge from 136 patients.
