The Association for European Cardiovascular Pathology and the Society for Cardiovascular Pathology have produced this position paper concerning the current role of endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) for the diagnosis of cardiac diseases and its contribution to patient management, focusing on pathological issues, with these aims: • Determining appropriate EMB use in the context of current diagnostic strategies for cardiac diseases and providing recommendations for its rational utilization • Providing standard criteria and guidance for appropriate tissue triage and pathological analysis • Promoting a team approach to EMB use, integrating the competences of pathologists, clinicians, and imagers.

Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Treatment: New Developments.
Curr Atheroscler Rep
January 2025
Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism Research Unit, Department of Medicine, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Purpose Of Review: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) is characterized by marked elevation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This is a review of novel pharmacological therapies to lower LDLC in patients with HoFH.
Recent Findings: Novel therapies can be broadly divided by whether their efficacy is dependent or independent of residual low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) function.

Background: FDA-approved carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) have been shown to attenuate Aβ pathology, neurodegeneration, and cerebrovascular dysfunction in models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), suggesting a key role for CAs as a novel and previously unexplored target for AD therapy. Amyloid β accumulation severely impairs the cerebral neuro-signaling pathway with a progressive loss in neurotrophic factors (NTFs, i.e.

Background: About two-thirds of those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are women, most of whom are post-menopausal. Menopause accelerates the risk for dementia by increasing the risk for metabolic, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular diseases. Mid-life metabolic disease (e.

Department of Neurology, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, and the New York Presbyterian Hospital, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Blood-based biomarkers may aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), but their contribution may be confounded by the presence of multiple chronic conditions and have not been well-tested in community populations. In the current study, we aimed to determine whether blood-based biomarkers can aid in refining a multi-ethnic, urban clinically diagnosed AD community-based cohort.
Method: We included 546 individuals in the Washington Heights, Hamilton Heights, and Inwood Columbia Aging Project (WHICAP) study in this cross-sectional study.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
College of Public Health, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA.
Background: We recently reported genetic associations with dementia-related proteinopathies. Using multidimensional generalized partial credit modeling, we constructed three continuous latent variables, corresponding to TDP-43, Aβ/Tau, and a-synuclein related neuropathology endophenotype scores.
Method: Participant data were drawn from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) neuropathology (NP) data (from the September 2023 data freeze) linked to Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC) genotype data.
