Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of serum C-X-C chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16) in subjects with diabetic coronary artery disease (T2DM-CAD).

Methods: One hundred twenty Chinese subjects, including patients with coronary artery disease (CAD group), diabetic coronary artery disease (T2DM-CAD group), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM group), and healthy controls of similar age and gender (control group), were enrolled in this study. Serum CXCL16 was detected by a sandwich-type enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Simultaneously, other clinical biochemical parameters such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), uric acid (UA), and glucose (Glu) were tested based on standard methods.

Results: Compared to the levels in the CAD group (3.912±1.061 mg/L) and the T2DM group (4.115±0.876 mg/L), the levels of serum CXCL16 in the T2DM-CAD group were significantly increased (5.707±1.404 mg/L, P<0.01). In the T2DM-CAD group, serum CXCL16 concentrations correlated positively with hs-CRP (r=0.772, P<0.001) and uric acid levels (r=0.476, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that hs-CRP might be the only influencing factor for serum CXCL16 levels (β=0.772, P<0.001). Furthermore, in the T2DM-CAD group/T2DM group, the area under the curve of CXCL16 was 0.824, and the area under the curve of hs-CRP was 0.842; no significant difference was found (z=0.245, P>0.05).

Conclusions: Serum CXCL16 may be a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of patients with T2DM-CAD.

Importance: Disease characteristics of genetically mediated coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary angiography and the association of genomic risk with outcomes after coronary angiography are not well understood.

Objective: To assess the angiographic characteristics and risk of post-coronary angiography outcomes of patients with genomic drivers of CAD: familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), high polygenic risk score (PRS), and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).

Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective cohort study of 3518 Mass General Brigham Biobank participants with genomic information who underwent coronary angiography was conducted between July 18, 2000, and August 1, 2023.

Melatonin (MEL), functioning as a circulating hormone, is important for the regulation of ferroptosis in different health scenarios and acts as a crucial antioxidant in cardiovascular diseases. However, its specific function in ferroptosis related to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) remains to be fully elucidated. In our research, we utilized a rat model of MIRI induced by coronary artery ligation, along with a cell model subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R).

Background: Population aging has led to a surge in elderly care needs worldwide. Bone aging, skeletal muscle degeneration, and osteoporosis pose critical health challenges for the elderly. The process of bone and skeletal muscle aging not only impacts the functional abilities but also increases fragility fracture risk.

Background: Coronary artery ectasias and aneurysms (CAE/CAAs) are among the less common forms of coronary artery disease, with undefined long-term outcomes and treatment strategies.

Aims: To assess the clinical characteristics, angiographic patterns, and long-term outcomes in patients with CAE, CAA, or both.

Methods: This 15-year (2006-2021) retrospective single-centre registry included 281 patients diagnosed with CAE/CAA via invasive coronary angiography.

Aims: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are common cardiac complications of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Exercise stress echocardiography is often used in symptomatic patients with SSc to detect abnormal increases in pulmonary pressures during exercise, but the pathophysiologic and prognostic significance of exercise stress echocardiography to assess the presence of HFpEF in these patients is unclear.

Methods And Results: Patients with SSc (n=140) underwent ergometry exercise stress echocardiography with simultaneous expired gas analysis.
