Background: Postmenopausal women (PMW) who complete menopause at a late age (55+ years) have lower cardiovascular disease risk than PMW who complete menopause at a normal age (45-54 years). However, the influence of late-onset menopause on vascular endothelial dysfunction is unknown. Moreover, the mechanisms by which a later age at menopause may modulate endothelial function remain to be determined.

Background: Patients with acute myocardial infarction and angiographically obstructive non-culprit lesions are at high risk for recurrent major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). However, it remains largely unknown whether events are due to stenosis severity or due to the underlying high-risk lesion morphology.
Methods: Between January 2017 and December 2021, 1312 patients with acute myocardial infarction underwent optical coherence tomography of all the 3 main epicardial arteries after successful percutaneous coronary intervention.

Myocardial bridging is a frequent anomaly of the heart in humans and other animals. A myocardial bridge is typically characterized by the systolic narrowing seen with traditional catheter angiography, but this abnormality is not by itself a sign of ischemia or the need for intervention. In particular, transient spontaneous angina must be corroborated by reproducible narrowing during acetylcholine testing; this narrowing occurs during resting conditions and is responsive to nitroglycerin administration.

Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and long-term adult disability worldwide. Stroke causes neurodegeneration and impairs synaptic function. Understanding the role of synaptic proteins and associated signalling pathways in stroke pathology could offer insights into therapeutic approaches as well as improving rehabilitation-related treatment regimes.

Pickering syndrome, characterized by recurrent episodes of flash pulmonary edema (FPE) and renal impairment, is associated with renal artery stenosis (RAS). This case highlights its manifestation and management in an older adult patient. An 86-year-old woman with hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and a single functioning kidney presented with recurrent FPE episodes.
