Hypertension is a well known risk factor of coronary artery disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate a clinical course and prognosis in hypertensive patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). 100 consecutive patients with acute MI underwent the study. In 38 of them (28 males and 10 females) a history of hypertension and intermittent rises of arterial blood pressure in a course of MI were stated. All patients underwent 2-DE examination and 24 hours Holter ecg monitoring. Clinical characteristics consisted of the heart failure and arrhythmias occurrence as well as the in-hospital mortality. Significantly higher rate of MI in the past and/or angina pectoris as well as a diabetes mellitus was stated in hypertensive patients. In these patients inferior, transmural MI was more often observed, while there was no difference in life-threatening arrhythmias, pulmonary edema and cardiogenic shock between normotensive and hypertensive patients.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), is a common syndrome in end stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients, is marked by dysregulation of electrolytes and hormones, including calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcimemetics are a cornerstone of PTH lowering therapy; cinacalcet, an oral calcimemetic, is the most used and typically prescribed as a daily administration, thus contributing to the high total pill burden of this population. Recent clinical trials have provided evidence that administration of cinacalcet at the dialysis unit three times a week might be a safe and effective treatment option.

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are more susceptible to microvascular complications. However, whether DM is associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is unclear. This observational study used data from the Coronary Microvascular Disease Registry (CMDR) (NCT05960474) and included patients with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) who underwent invasive CMD evaluation using the CoroVentis CoroFlow System (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA).
