In 2008 the Food and Drug Administration has revised approval process for new antidiabetic agents and introduced a requirement to demonstrate the cardiovascular safety in an international multicenter trial. Currently cardiovascular outcome trials of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors (SAVOR-TIMI53, EXAMINE and TECOS), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (EMPAREG, CANVAS), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (ELIXA, EXSCEL LEADER and SUSTAIN-6), ultralong-acting and insulin (DEVOTE) have been completed. The trials confirmed cardiovascular safety of these glucose-lowering medications, and in addition, EMPA-REG OUTCOME (empagliflozin), CANVAS (canagliflozin) and LEADER (liraglutide) have also demonstrated cardioprotective effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. These data led to the changes of clinical guidelines for the management of type 2 diabetes.

Purpose: This study analyzed longitudinal data to examine whether occupational sitting time is associated with increases in body mass index (BMI) and five-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
Methods: We included 2,000 employed men and women (aged 31-60) from the German Study on Mental Health at Work (S-MGA) for a BMI analysis and 1,635 participants free of CVD at baseline (2011/2012) for a CVD analysis. Occupational sitting time was categorized into five groups (< 5, 5 to < 15, 15 to < 25, 25 to < 35, and ≥ 35 h per week).

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and effective treatment for patients experiencing ventricular and atrial tachyarrhythmias. While complications after RFA are generally rare, the occurrence of coronary artery (CA) injury, albeit infrequent, can have significant clinical implications. Given the proximity of CAs to common ablation sites, understanding the interplay between RFA and CA perfusion pathophysiology is paramount.

Background: There is a paucity of data regarding drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment in the context of left main (LM) true bifurcation lesions.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DCB-based treatment for unprotected LM true bifurcation lesions.
Methods: A total of 39 patients with LM true bifurcation lesion (Medina: 1,1,1/0,1,1/1,0,1) who were successfully treated with DCB alone or in combination with drug-eluting stent (DES) were retrospectively enrolled into the DCB-based group.

Background: No-reflow following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is challenging to treat.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of upstream high-bolus-dose tirofiban administration in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cases undergoing PPCI on top of dual antiplatelet therapy, including ticagrelor, in comparison to selective bailout administration.
Methods: This hospital-based, randomized, single-blinded prospective interventional study was conducted on 150 patients at Assiut University Heart Hospital.

Background: It is uncertain whether ticagrelor is more effective and safer than clopidogrel in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in the East Asian population in the real world. This study compared the clinical outcomes of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 1124 patients diagnosed with STEMI in Nanjing First Hospital from July 2011 to April 2019.
