Objective: In the present study, we detected a relationship between serum lipid/lipoprotein [serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol] and arterial blood pressure among Chinese nonagenarians/centenarian.
Methods: The present study analyzed data from the survey that was conducted on all residents aged 90 years or more in a district; there were 2,311,709 inhabitants in 2005. Arterial blood pressure included systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
Results: The subjects included in the statistical analysis were 217 men and 444 women. Subjects with hypertension (1.29 ± 0.74 vs 1.13 ± 0.45, t = 3.362, p = 0.001) or systolic hypertension (1.30 ± 0.74 vs 1.12 ± 0.45, t = 3.534, p < 0.0001) had higher levels of TG than those without. Subjects with abnormal levels of serum TG had higher SBP (145 ± 22 vs 139 ± 23, t = 2.223, p = 0.027). The Pearson correlation showed a significant relationship between SBP and serum TG levels (r = 0.088, p = 0.024). Unadjusted and adjusted multiple logistic regressions showed that hypertension or systolic hypertension was associated with an increased risk of abnormal of serum TG levels.
Conclusions: In summary, we found that among Chinese nonagenarians and centenarians, the levels of serum lipid/lipoprotein were associated with arterial blood pressure. Hypertriglyceridemia was associated with SBP.

Exercise has a significant impact on the cardiovascular (CV) health of children and adolescents, with resultant alterations in CV structure and function being evident, even at an early age. Engagement in regular, moderate physical activity (PA) is associated with long-term CV health benefits and a reduced risk of CV disease and mortality later in life. However, competitive sports often involve PA training intensities that are beyond recommended levels for young athletes, potentially leading to adverse CV outcomes.

Background: The Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA) is a regional, community-based Indigenous health authority in Northern Ontario, Canada. From September 2022 to March 2023, the WAHA and University Health Network engaged in a partnership that designed a collaborative model of care to address inequities in cardiology specialist access in Northern Ontario. This model implemented a digital therapeutic for heart failure, (the Medly program) and in-person cardiology clinics in the region.

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection can cause ophthalmic diseases in immunocompetent patients, recipients of bone marrow transplants, and patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This study describes the case of a healthy 37-year-old male who presented with unilateral anterior uveitis (AU), significant anterior chamber exudation, pupillary membrane closure, increased intraocular pressure, and eyelid edema. Notably, HHV-6A was the only pathogenic agent identified in the blood and aqueous humor.

Background And Purpose: Body mass index (BMI), as a straightforward measure, is widely used in clinical practice, and its results are linked to HT and patient prognosis. This study aimed to ascertain if sex differences exist in the prognostic significance of BMI at the time of admission to the cardiology unit, and how this impacts the LOHS for patients suffering from hypertension.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 486 patients admitted urgently with a diagnosis of HT to the Cardiology Department at University Hospital in Wroclaw (Poland) between January 2017 and June 2021 was conducted.
