The primary goal is to identify the pathogenesis of cardiovascular illnesses in obese patients. Articles were extracted using the MeSH search approach from PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were used, and duplicates were eliminated. Eight publications were finally included in this research study after two authors independently completed the quality check appraisal. Seven observational studies and one narrative review were found in our search. The publications evaluated the risk of coronary artery disease in metabolically healthy obese people with that of unhealthy obese adults and evaluated the effects of adipose tissue-mediated inflammation. Additionally, they offered several explanations for the obesity problem. Studies have indicated that adipocytokines and their pro-inflammatory cytokines have significantly affected the development of cardiovascular disease in obese subjects. The relationship between metabolically unhealthy people with increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) is unclear. It has also been shown that metabolically healthy obese persons are still at risk for developing coronary artery disease (CAD), as explained in certain studies in which inflammation plays a vital role in obese people. There hasn't been much data on the advantages of being physically active in overweight people, but obese people have to change their lifestyle as a first measure.

Background: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and its related vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may play a significant role in atherosclerosis and their targeting is a strategic approach that may affect multiple pathways influencing disease progression. This study aimed to perform a systematic review to reveal current evidence on the role of HIF-1α and VEGF immunophenotypes with other prognostic markers as potential biomarkers of atherosclerosis prognosis and treatment efficacy.
Methods: We performed a systematic review of the current literature to explore the role of HIF-1α and VEGF protein expression along with the relation to the prognosis and therapeutic strategies of atherosclerosis.

The relationship between retinal fundus hemorrhage and the severity of coronary artery lesions remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the incidence of fundus hemorrhage in patients at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and to examine its correlation with the SYNTAX score, a tool used to assess the complexity of coronary artery disease. This retrospective study consecutively enrolled patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) at Beijing Anzhen Hospital Hospital from June 2019 to January 2020.

An 18-year-old teenager with significant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk factors developed acute chest pain. His electrocardiogram showed inferior ST-segment elevations. Emergent coronary angiogram revealed complete thrombotic occlusion of the right coronary artery.

Background/objectives: Both hyperandrogenism (HA) and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) can separately lead to impaired vascular reactivity and ovulatory dysfunction in fertile females. The aim was to examine the early interactions of these states in a rat model of PCOS.
Methods: Four-week-old adolescent female rats were divided into four groups: vitamin D (VD)-supplemented ( = 12); VD-supplemented and testosterone-treated ( = 12); VDD- ( = 11) and VDD-and-testosterone-treated ( = 11).

Ventriculo-meningitis or nosocomial meningitis/ventriculitis is a severe nosocomial infection that is associated with devastating neurological sequelae. The cerebrospinal fluid isolates associated with the infection can be Gram-positive or -negative, while the spp. is rarely identified.
