Background And Objective: It is unclear whether variation in covert cerebrovascular disease prevalence is attributable to ethnic differences or to other factors. We aimed to examine the associations of country of residence with covert vascular brain injury (VBI) and cognitive dysfunction among Chinese adults residing in Canada and China.
Methods: This was a multisite cross-sectional study of Chinese adults aged 40-80 years in the Canadian Alliance for Healthy Hearts and Healthy Minds (CAHHM; January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018) and Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiological-Mind (PURE-MIND; November 1, 2010, to July 31, 2015) cohorts living in Canada and China.

The recently introduced concept of 'exposome' emphasizes the impact of non-traditional threats onto cardiovascular health. Among these, air pollutants - particularly fine particulate matter < 2.5 μm (PM2.

Background: The impact of systemic inflammation in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) is still a matter of debate. The present ECLS-SHOCK sub-study investigates the association of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with short-term outcomes in patients with AMI-CS.
Methods: Patients with AMI-CS enrolled in the multicenter, randomized ECLS-SHOCK trial between 2019 and 2022 were included.

Background: The MarkVCID consortium was established to address the paucity of biomarkers for vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), a leading cause of dementia. Plasma neurofilament light (NfL), a neuroaxonal injury marker elevated in several neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, was selected as one of the first biomarkers to be examined. We performed comprehensive instrumental and clinical validation of the Quanterix Simoa NfL assay using the first MarkVCID cohort.

Background: Peak-width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) is an emerging biomarker of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD)-related vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). Higher PSMD values reflect greater white matter microstructural damage, and prior research has related PSMD to sporadic and monogenic forms of cSVD and worse cognitive function. Therefore, we proposed PSMD as a risk stratification biomarker for VCID.
