Changes in Blood Eosinophil Counts Predict the Death of Patients With Myocardial Infarction After Hospital Discharge.

J Am Heart Assoc

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Tropical Translational Medicine of Ministry of Education & Key Laboratory of Tropical Cardiovascular Diseases Research of Hainan Province, School of Public Health Hainan Medical University Haikou China.

Background: Preclinical studies demonstrate a cardioprotective role of eosinophils in acute myocardial infarction. Yet clinical studies show conflicting correlations between blood eosinophil counts and acute myocardial infarction risk and mortality. This study evaluates blood eosinophil counts of patients with acute myocardial infarction at hospital admission (EOS) and discharge (EOS) on all-cause and cardiac mortalities.

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is linked to diverse aging-related diseases, including hematologic malignancy and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). While CHIP is common among older adults, the underlying factors driving its development are largely unknown. To address this, we performed whole-exome sequencing on 8,374 blood DNA samples collected from 4,187 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC) participants over a median follow-up of 21 years.

Article Synopsis
  • Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease in general populations, but its impact on patients with existing CV conditions in clinical trials was unclear.
  • A study of 63,700 patients from five randomized CV therapy trials found that while CHIP+ patients had a 30% higher risk of a first myocardial infarction (heart attack), their risk for recurrent heart attacks showed no significant increase.
  • The research also indicated that CHIP does not significantly affect the effectiveness of standard CV treatments, suggesting that both CHIP+ and CHIP- patients benefit similarly from these therapies.

Inflammatory risk and cardiovascular events in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease: the ORFAN multicentre, longitudinal cohort study.

Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is the first line investigation for chest pain, and it is used to guide revascularisation. However, the widespread adoption of CCTA has revealed a large group of individuals without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), with unclear prognosis and management. Measurement of coronary inflammation from CCTA using the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) Score could enable cardiovascular risk prediction and guide the management of individuals without obstructive CAD.

Background: Growing evidence links air pollution exposure to the risk of dementia. We hypothesized that hypertension may partially mediate this effect.

Methods: We previously documented an association between air pollution and dementia in the Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory Study, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 3069 adults ≥75 years across four US sites who were evaluated for dementia every 6 months from 2000-2008.
