Background: Sarcoidosis with cardiovascular involvement is critical and is associated with morbidity and mortality of the affected patients, if not properly managed. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to review the available literature to find the prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities and their association with sarcoidosis.
Methods: An electronic search was conducted through nine databases for articles reporting cardiovascular comorbidities in sarcoidosis patients. We assessed the quality of each included article using the National Institute of Health quality assessment tool (NIH), while meta-analysis was used to pool the results.
Results: Out of 2208 reports screened, we included 14 studies. The most common cardiovascular comorbidities were hypertension 28.8%, heart failure 9.3% and non-specified arrhythmia 8.1%. There were significant association between sarcoidosis and heart failure and hypertension rather than controls (OR = 2.10, 95%CI (1.65 - 2.69), p < 0.01) and (OR = 1.27, 95%CI (1.02 - 1.59), p = 0.036), respectively. However, we found no association between sarcoidosis and cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease and ventricular tachycardia (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Sarcoidosis is associated with certain types of cardiovascular comorbidities. Timely diagnosis and aggressive management in this population are needed to minimize the hazards associated with the disease.

University of Utah, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States.
Rationale: Guidelines recommend patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) be referred to pulmonary hypertension (PH) centers, but little is known about where care is actually delivered in the United States (US).
Objectives: To use prescription patterns to estimate the proportion of PAH care delivered at US PH centers and explore factors associated with location of care.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed claims from the Komodo database in adults who received ≥1 PAH prescription between March 2021 and February 2022.

Objective: The association of long-term hyperuricemia with liver function remains less well understood. This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the relationship between hyperuricemia and liver function as well as other metabolic and cardiovascular parameters.
Methods: We enrolled 375 participants with hyperuricemia and 599 normouricemic controls.

Background: Hypertension, a leading global risk factor for mortality and disability, disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minorities. Our study investigates the association between the type of prior antihypertensive medication use and the likelihood of cardiovascular events (CVE) and assesses whether the patient's race influences this relationship.
Methods: A retrospective study of 14 836 hypertension cases aged ≥ 40 years was conducted using data from HCA Healthcare between 2017 and 2023.
Aims: Risk prediction indices used in worsening heart failure (HF) vary in complexity, performance, and the type of datasets in which they were validated. We compared the performance of seven risk prediction indices in a contemporary cohort of patients hospitalized for HF.
Methods And Results: We assessed the performance of the Length of stay and number of Emergency department visits in the prior 6 months (LE), Length of stay, number of Emergency department visits in the prior 6 months, and admission N-Terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP (LENT), Length of stay, Acuity, Charlson co-morbidity index, and number of Emergency department visits in the prior 6 months (LACE), Get With The Guidelines Heart Failure (GWTG), Readmission Risk Score (RRS), Enhanced Feedback for Effective Cardiac Treatment model (EFFECT), and Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry (ADHERE) risk indices among consecutive patients hospitalized for HF and discharged alive from January 2017 to December 2019 in a network of hospitals in England.

Ageing is a multidimensional concept related to the progressive decline in physiological functions. The decrease of physical autonomy due to the ageing process leads to frailty, which in turn is associated with disability and comorbidity. Ageing represents the primary risk factor for chronic degenerative diseases, especially involving cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, and osteoarticular systems, determining the decrease in activities and quality of daily life.
