Lipid variability (LV) has been studied and proposed as a potential predictor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and increased LV may contribute to adverse clinical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the association of various LV parameters with the risk of long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among the Thai population. The study used data from the CORE-Thailand Registry, a prospective multicentre study of adults with high cardiovascular risk or established CVD.

Prior research has demonstrated an association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor and a reduced incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Given the established link between mitochondrial dysfunction and AF, this study aimed to explore the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on AF burden and plausible antiarrhythmic mechanisms in patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Patients with atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs) detected by CIEDs were randomized to receive either 10 mg of dapagliflozin or a placebo for 3 months.

Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes significantly to the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). Conflicting data regarding the atrial pacing and the risk of AF existed, and the impact of atrial pacing on mitochondrial function remains unknown. Therefore, we sought to examine the association between atrial pacing percentage and mitochondrial function in patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) with atrial pacing capability.
