Department of Cardiology, Gødstrup Regional Hospital, Hospitalsparken 15, 7400 Herning, Denmark; Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Palle Juul-Jensens Boulevard 99, 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark. Electronic address:

Background: The role of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) in the risk-assessment of patients with de-novo stable chest pain is sparsely investigated. We assessed the association between Lp(a) concentration and the presence of coronary stenosis on coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography in a broad population of patients referred with stable chest pain.

Methods: Lp(a) measurements and coronary CT angiography were performed in 4,346 patients with stable chest pain and no previous history of coronary artery disease.

Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) present a variety of clinical symptoms, such as dyspnea and chest pain, complicating accurate diagnosis. NSCLC includes subtypes distinguished by histological characteristics, specifically lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). This study aims to compare and identify abnormal gene expression patterns in LUAD and LUSC samples relative to adjacent healthy tissues using an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) framework.

Hot Phases Cardiomyopathy: Pathophysiology, Diagnostic Challenges, and Emerging Therapies.

Curr Cardiol Rep

Center for Diagnosis and Treatment of Cardiomyopathies, Cardiovascular Department, Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Giuliano Isontina (ASUGI), European Reference Network for Rare, University of Trieste, Via P. Valdoni 7, 34100, Trieste, Italy.

Purpose Of Review: Hot phases are a challenging clinical presentation in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), marked by acute chest pain and elevated cardiac troponins in the absence of obstructive coronary disease. These episodes manifest as myocarditis and primarily affect young patients, contributing to a heightened risk of life-threatening arrhythmias and potential disease progression. This review aims to synthesize recent research on the pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic management of hot phases in ACM.
