Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular (CV) events and diseases worldwide. The aim of the review is to summarize our knowledge regarding clinical implementation of the biomarker-based strategy of the CV risk assessment in T2DM patient population. There is large body of evidence regarding use of the cardiac biomarkers to risk stratification at higher CV risk individuals who belongs to general population and cohort with established CV disease. Although T2DM patients have higher incidence of macrovascular and microvascular CV complications than the general population, whether cardiac biomarkers would be effective to risk stratification of the T2DM is not fully understood. The role of natriuretic peptides, galectin-3, interleukins, growth differentiation factor-15, as well as biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction are widely discussed. In conclusion, future directions, which associate with discovering of novel biomarkers and their best combinations to provide additional predictive information beyond other traditional CV risk factors, are discussed.

(Group A Streptococcus, GAS) is a human pathogen that causes local and systemic infections of the skin and mucous membranes. However, GAS is also found asymptomatically in the nasopharynx of infants. GAS infections, including pharyngitis and invasive pneumosepsis, pose significant public health concerns.

Objective: To assess the extent to which the concomitant presence of subclinical myocardial injury or stress and diabetes affects the risk of heart failure (HF) subtypes.
Research Design And Methods: The Jackson Heart Study included Black adults, categorized based on diabetes status, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. Subclinical myocardial injury was defined as hs-cTnI ≥4 ng/L in women and ≥6 ng/L in men, and subclinical myocardial stress as BNP ≥35 pg/mL.

Objective: Plasma metabolite profiling has uncovered several nonglycemic markers of incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). We investigated whether such biomarkers provide information about specific aspects of T2D etiology, such as impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance, and whether their association with T2D risk varies by race.
Research Design And Methods: Untargeted plasma metabolite profiling was performed of participants in the FINRISK 2002 cohort (n = 7,564).

Alcohol abuse can lead to significant cardiac injury, resulting in Alcoholic heart disease (AHD). The interplay between cardiac health and gut microbiota composition in the context of alcohol consumption is not well understood. Shen Song Yang Xin (SSYX) capsule and amiodarone are common drugs used to treat alcoholic heart disease, but little is known about their microbial regulatory mechanisms in alcoholic heart disease.

Objectives: The present multicenter study was designed to evaluate the analytical performance and the 99th percentile value of the reference healthy population i.e., 99th percentile upper reference limit of the MAGLUMI CLIA high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) method.
