There are strong evidences that common mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups may influence the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In this matched case-control study, we investigate the association between mtDNA haplogroups and two CVDs, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, and classical cardiovascular risk factors. Data obtained show that haplogroup H constitute a susceptibility risk factor for MI (p=0.001; OR=2.379, 95% CI [1.440-3.990]). Otherwise, our data also suggest a beneficial role of haplogroup J against hypertension (p=0.019; OR=0.348, 95% CI [0.144-0.840]). These results may provide some guidance for predicting the genetic risk of these diseases in different human populations through the differences in energy efficiency between haplogroups.

Objective: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of indobufen in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and thromboembolic disorders. The primary focus is on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), thrombosis, bleeding events, and adverse reactions. The results are intended to provide a reference for the clinical application of indobufen and suggest directions for further large-scale, multi-center, prospective studies.

Aim: This study aimed to protect brain functions in patients who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest through the application of local cerebral hypothermia. By utilizing a specialized thermal hypothermia device, this approach sought to mitigate ischemic brain injury associated with post-cardiac arrest syndrome, enhance survival rates, and improve neurological outcomes as measured by standardized scales.
Methods: A prospective, single-center cohort study was conducted involving patients aged ≥18 years who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest and achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

Background: Depression is being increasingly acknowledged as an important risk factor contributing to coronary heart disease (CHD). Currently, there is no predictive model specifically designed to evaluate the risk of coronary heart disease among individuals with depression. We aim to develop a machine learning (ML) model that will analyze risk factors and forecast the probability of coronary heart disease in individuals suffering from depression.

Objective: To determine the age-standardized rate of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) events and its trend in recent years.
Materials And Methods: An ecological study of secondary data on morbidity in emergency areas of Peruvian hospitals between 2018 and 2023 was conducted. Cases of AMI in adults aged 20 years or older were identified using ICD-10 codes.

Objectives: The significant correlation between acute myocardial infarction and subsequent hepatorenal dysfunction could result in a higher mortality rate in patients. The study aimed to evaluate the effect and mechanisms of coenzyme-Q10 (Q10) administration on hepatorenal dysfunction in an isoprenaline (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction model in rats.
Materials And Methods: Twenty male rats were assigned into four groups (n = 5).
