Mineralocorticoid axis activity and cardiac remodeling in patients with ACTH dependent Cushing's syndrome.
Endocr Connect
January 2025
P Kamenický, Centre de Référence des Maladies Rares de l'Hypophyse, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, 94275, France.
Background: Arterial hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy and remodeling are independent cardiovascular risk factors in patients with Cushing's syndrome. Changes in the renin-angiotensin system and in the mineralocorticoid axis activity could be involved as potential mechanisms in their pathogenesis, in addition to cortisol excess.
Methods: In this ancillary study of our previous study prospectively investigating patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (NCT02202902), 11 patients without any interfering medication were cross-sectionally compared to 20 control subjects matched for age, sex and body mass index.
Successful thoracoscopic-assisted resection of a functional paraganglioma in the mediastinum with extracorporeal circulation: a case report.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Department of Thoracic Surgery, The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, P. R. China.
Background: Paragangliomas are rare neoplasms arising from extra-adrenal chromaffin cells, with mediastinal paragangliomas representing an exceptionally rare subset. This report details the surgical management of a complex mediastinal paraganglioma case, presenting with refractory hypertension and invasion of critical surrounding structures. A comprehensive review of the current literature is included to underscore existing cases, enhance clinical awareness, and share our insights and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this challenging condition.

Department of Cardiology, Ippokrateio University Hospital, Athens, Greece.
Introduction/objective: Emotional, mental, or psychological distress, defined as increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or stress, is common in patients with chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD).
Methods: Literature was reviewed regarding data from studies and meta-analyses examining the impact of emotional stress on the occurrence and outcome of several CVDs (coronary disease, heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, stroke). These influences' pathophysiology and clinical spectrum are detailed, tabulated, and pictorially illustrated.
Abnormal ramification pattern of the renal and testicular vessels.
Anat Cell Biol

Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, National Defense Medical College, Tokorozawa, Japan.
We demonstrate an aberrant ramification pattern of the renal and testicular vessels. On both sides, the anterior and posterior renal veins emerged from the renal. On the right side, the anterior renal vein collected the right testicular vein and drained into the inferior vena cava, while the posterior one directly drained into the inferior vena cava.

Article Synopsis
- The coexistence of anxiety or depression with coronary heart disease (CHD) presents significant challenges in treatment strategies within cardiovascular medicine.
- Recent research highlights the HPA axis as a potential key player in understanding treatment options for individuals with both CHD and anxiety or depression, focusing on its role in regulating inflammation and cellular health.
- The review emphasizes the HPA axis's importance in the cardiovascular and nervous systems and its potential as a therapeutic biomarker for managing patients with comorbid conditions.
