Ambient air pollution is a significant public health concern, known to affect cardiovascular health adversely. Research has identified both long-term and short-term cardiovascular risks associated with various air pollutants, including those linked to acute coronary syndromes. However, the observed effects are rather small, with most data sourced from highly polluted regions.

While immunotherapy has shown efficacy in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients, many respond only partially or not at all.

The tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient (TRPG) reflects the difference in pressure between the right ventricle and right atrium (ΔP). Its estimation by echocardiography correlates well with that obtained using right-heart catheterization. An elevated TRPG is an important marker for identifying right ventricular dysfunction in both the acute and chronic settings.
