In 64 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 24-hour Holter monitoring of the ECG was made in order to detect the incidence of individual disorders of the cardiac rhythm. The examination revealed a large number of potentially malignant ventricular arrhythmias (47% of the patients). Most frequently polytopic ventricular extrasystoles were involved (31.3%), attacks of ventricular tachycardia (20.3%), less frequently bigeminy was recorded (10.9%) and early extrasystoles type R on T (3.1%). As to other disorders of the cardiac rhythm, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia was frequent (34.4%), atrial fibrillation or flutter (9.4%) and more numerous supraventricular extrasystoles (7.8%). Sinoatrial (4.7%) and atrioventricular blocks (7.8%) were relatively rare. Examination of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an essential prerequisite for the initiation of early and effective treatment which can exert a favourable effect on the subsequent fate of the patients.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM), a significant chronic complication of diabetes, manifests as myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and other pathological alterations that substantially impact cardiac function and elevate the risk of cardiovascular diseases and patient mortality. Myocardial energy metabolism disturbances in DbCM, encompassing glucose, fatty acid, ketone body and lactate metabolism, are crucial factors that contribute to the progression of DbCM. In recent years, novel protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as lactylation, β-hydroxybutyrylation, and succinylation have been demonstrated to be intimately associated with the myocardial energy metabolism process, and in conjunction with acetylation, they participate in the regulation of protein activity and gene expression activity in cardiomyocytes.

In 2017, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) published a Clinical Practice Guideline Update for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, Prevention, and Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD). Since then, new lines of evidence have been published related to evaluating disordered mineral metabolism and bone quality and turnover, identifying and inhibiting vascular calcification, targeting vitamin D levels, and regulating parathyroid hormone. For an in-depth consideration of the new insights, in October 2023, KDIGO held a Controversies Conference on CKD-MBD: Progress and Knowledge Gaps Toward Personalizing Care.

Fractures are common and serious skeletal injuries, and accelerating their healing while alleviating patient suffering remains a clinical challenge. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a widely distributed, calcium-dependent, phospholipid-binding protein involved in bone remodeling. However, its role in chondrocyte differentiation and endochondral ossification remains unclear.
