Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) could serve as a robust tool for comprehensive evaluation of early changes across heart failure (HF) stages classified by the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guideline in diabetes mellitus (DM).
Objectives: The authors aimed to explore phenotypic imaging features characterizing DM participants at different HF stages by CMR.
Methods: DM participants with preserved ejection fraction who underwent CMR examination between January 2020 and December 2021 were evaluated.

Background: Patients with abnormal (positive) exercise electrocardiography, but normal stress echocardiography (+ECG/-Echo), have an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events compared with patients with a normal (negative) ECG and a normal stress Echo (-ECG/-Echo). However, it is unclear if +ECG/-Echo discordance is associated with a greater burden of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis.
Methods: Project Baseline Health Study participants who underwent a stress Echo and coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan were stratified by stress Echo result: -ECG/-Echo or +ECG/-Echo.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) comprise a group of conditions affecting the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joints and associated structures, often manifesting as orofacial pain and functional limitations of the mandible. Central sensitization (CS) is gaining increasing attention in research focused on pain syndromes and somatization, playing a significant role in the pain experience. This study investigates the prevalence of CS and somatization among TMD patients, analyzing their relationships with TMD diagnoses and the intensity of chronic masticatory muscle pain (MMP).
