Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a global public health concern, and CHD risk assessment remains a major challenge. Therefore, in this study, the ability of small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) alone to sufficiently predict CHD risk in the Chinese population was evaluated.
Methods: Patients with CHD (139) and healthy controls (58) were included in this study. Serum sdLDL was measured using the peroxidase method. Other lipid parameters were also determined.
Results: The sdLDL level in the CHD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that sdLDL was an independent risk factor for CHD. Based on the receiver operating characteristic curves, the area under the curve (AUC) of sdLDL alone for CHD was 0.722. The AUC of triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and sdLDL combined was 0.763, which was larger than that of the independent ones or combinations of any two; however, the value was not significant.
Conclusions: sdLDL alone can predict CHD risk efficiently similar to the combination of TG, HDL, and sdLDL. This finding suggests that sdLDL can be considered as an ideal parameter for the preliminary diagnosis of CHD in Chinese people.

Aim: To determine the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors for heart failure (HF) among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis, using J-DREAMS database, was conducted from December 2015 to January 2020 with type 2 diabetes. The primary objectives were to describe patient characteristics stratified by HF history at baseline and new HF events during follow-up.

Background: Depression is being increasingly acknowledged as an important risk factor contributing to coronary heart disease (CHD). Currently, there is no predictive model specifically designed to evaluate the risk of coronary heart disease among individuals with depression. We aim to develop a machine learning (ML) model that will analyze risk factors and forecast the probability of coronary heart disease in individuals suffering from depression.

The need for effective early detection and optimal therapy monitoring of cardiovascular diseases as the leading cause of death has led to an adaptation of the guidelines with a focus on cardiac computed tomography (CCTA) in patients with a low to intermediate risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). In particular, the introduction of photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) in CT diagnostics promises significant advances through higher temporal and spatial resolution, and also enables advanced texture analysis, known as radiomics analysis. Originally developed in oncological imaging, radiomics analysis is increasingly being used in cardiac imaging and research.

Background: The precise pathways connecting insulin resistance (IR) to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remain undefined. The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of arterial stiffness in the association between IR and ASCVD, providing epidemiology insights into the potential mechanisms driving IR to incident ASCVD.
Methods: A total of 59,777 participants from the Kailuan Study Arterial Stiffness Subcohort who were free of ASCVD at baseline were enrolled in the present study.
