Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between inflammatory biomarkers and cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).
- A total of 964 patients were analyzed, measuring inflammatory markers such as TNF-R1, GDF-15, and hsCRP, to see how these relate to acute ischemic events over a follow-up period of about 5.4 years.
- Results showed that diabetic patients had higher inflammatory marker levels and a greater incidence of cardiovascular events, with TNF-R1 identified as an independent risk factor for these events specifically in diabetic patients.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between mineral metabolism (MM) and cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients who experienced acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
- A total of 58 patients undergoing CR were compared with 116 control patients, revealing significant differences in hypertension prevalence and medication use.
- Results showed that after six months, klotho levels increased significantly in CR patients, while controls experienced a decrease, suggesting a potential positive effect of CR on MM that warrants further exploration.
Aims: Abnormalities of mineral metabolism (MM) have been related to cardiovascular disorders. There are no reports on the prognostic role of MM after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aim to assess the prognostic role of MM after an ACS.

Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] has proinflammatory and prothrombotic actions and has been involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. However, no previous studies have linked Lp(a) levels with the probability of developing MINOCA.

Mineral metabolism (MM) system and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) have been shown to add prognostic value in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). However, the influence of NT-ProBNP on the prognostic role of MM in patients with SCAD has not been shown yet.
