Background: Heart failure (HF) is a primary public health issue associated with a high mortality rate. However, effective treatments still need to be developed. The optimal level of glycemic control in non-diabetic critically ill patients suffering from HF is uncertain.

Few studies have evaluated the CVD burden attributable to HFPG globally. It is urgent to investigate the current epidemiological pattern and past trends of CVD attributable to HFPG.

Article Synopsis
- The study estimates the current and historical impact of cardiovascular disease (CVD) linked to high body mass index (HBMI) over the years.
- The analysis reveals that while total cases of CVD-related disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and deaths due to HBMI have significantly increased since 1990, the age-standardized rates for these metrics show a slight decline, especially in high socio-demographic index (SDI) regions.
- The findings emphasize the need for tailored strategies from policymakers to effectively combat the CVD burden associated with HBMI, particularly in regions experiencing a growing impact.
Article Synopsis
- This study provided comprehensive estimates on global alcohol cardiomyopathy (ACM) from 1990 to 2019, highlighting a 35.4% increase in prevalent cases, totaling 707,652 in 2019.
- Despite the slight decline in age-standardized prevalence, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and death rates, the absolute numbers of ACM-related DALYs and deaths rose significantly, with increases of 38.8% and 33.1%, respectively.
- The findings indicate that while some rates have improved, ACM continues to be a major public health issue globally, emphasizing the need for targeted strategies to address its rising burden in different regions.
Aims: The aim of this study was to estimate the global burden of atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter (AFL) and its attributable risk factors from 1990 to 2019.
Methods And Results: The data on AF/AFL were retrieved from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2019. Incidence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and deaths were metrics used to measure AF/AFL burden.
Purpose: Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is a condition with normal coronary angiography but angina pectoris. Chronic inflammation caused by () infection may play a pathogenic role in CSX. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to explore the relationship between infection and risk of CSX.

Although the traditional risk factors for CHD have been identified, it seems that there are still many CHD cases without these factors. Previous studies have hypothesized that () infection was associated with the risk of CHD.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common persistent arrhythmia, and its complications include cerebral embolism, arterial embolism and heart failure. Some studies have found that elevated Homocysteine (HCY) levels is a new risk factor for AF. Currently, there is no meta-analysis to explore whether the HCY levels is related to AF.
