Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress, and heart function in 100 NSTEMI patients with varying kidney health.
- It found that lower ejection fraction (EF) was linked to higher levels of inflammatory markers like BNP and hs-CRP and lower kidney function as indicated by glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
- A predictive model was developed to identify patients with severe cardiac injury, based on markers of inflammation and oxidative stress.
Context • Pleasant music that evokes a positive emotional response may activate brain pathways of the insular cortex, central nucleus of the amygdala, and lateral hypothalamus, which are involved in the integration of emotional and ambient sensory input, with corresponding autonomic responses. Exercise training can improve endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, both in epicardial coronary vessels and in resistance vessels, for patients with coronary heart disease. Objective • The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects on endothelial function when patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) listened to their favorite music.

Aim: The purpose of the review was to assess the impact of a bout of physical exercise induced by exercise stress echocardiography, on blood concentration of the endogenous inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), in patients with atherosclerosis.
Methods: Overall, 83 study participants were enrolled, 25 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, 20 age and sex-matched asymptomatic study participants with at least one risk factor for CAD, and 38 healthy controls.
Introduction: Cardiovascular (CV) diseases and bone fractures due to osteoporosis are the leading causes of death in the elderly.
Objective: The aim of this study was to demonstrate a correlation between the overall risk for CV events, and low bone density in postmenopausal women, and its impact on the incidence of serious CV events.
Methods: Our prospective study involved 300 postmenopausal women.
