Background The burden of noncardiovascular conditions is becoming increasingly prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF). We aimed to identify novel phenogroups incorporating noncardiovascular conditions to facilitate understanding and risk stratification in elderly patients with HF. Methods and Results Data from a total of 1881 (61.2%) patients aged ≥65 years were extracted from a prospective multicenter registry of patients hospitalized for acute HF (N=3072). We constructed subgroups of patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; N=826, 43.9%) and those with non-HFpEF (N=1055, 56.1%). Latent class analysis was performed in each subgroup using 17 variables focused on noncardiovascular conditions (including comorbidities, Clinical Frailty Scale, and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index). The latent class analysis revealed 3 distinct clinical phenogroups in both HFpEF and non-HFpEF subgroups: (1) robust physical and nutritional status (Group 1: HFpEF, 41.2%; non-HFpEF, 46.0%); (2) multimorbid patients with renal impairment (Group 2: HFpEF, 40.8%; non-HFpEF, 41.9%); and (3) malnourished patients (Group 3: HFpEF, 18.0%; non-HFpEF, 12.1%). After multivariable adjustment, compared with Group 1, patients in Groups 2 and 3 had a higher risk for all-cause death over the 1-year postdischarge period (hazard ratio [HR], 2.79 [95% CI, 1.64-4.81] and HR, 2.73 [95% CI, 1.39-5.35] in HFpEF; HR, 1.96 [95% CI, 1.22-3.14] and HR, 2.97 [95% CI, 1.64-5.38] in non-HFpEF; respectively). Conclusions In elderly patients with HF, the phenomapping focused on incorporating noncardiovascular conditions identified 3 phenogroups, each representing distinct clinical outcomes, and the discrimination pattern was similar for both patients with HFpEF and non-HFpEF. This classification provides novel risk stratification and may aid in clinical decision making.

Targeting Reactive Oxygen Species for Diagnosis of Various Diseases.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated predominantly during cellular respiration and play a significant role in signaling within the cell and between cells. However, excessive accumulation of ROS can lead to cellular dysfunction, disease progression, and apoptosis that can lead to organ dysfunction. To overcome the short half-life of ROS and the relatively small amount produced, various imaging methods have been developed, using both endogenous and exogenous means to monitor ROS in disease settings.

Background: High levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are previously considered protective against cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but recent studies suggest an increased risk of adverse events at very high HDL-C levels in the general population. It remains to be elucidated such a relationship in diabetes, a condition with high cardiovascular risks. We examined the association of HDL-C levels with the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality in type 2 diabetes.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to explore the relationship between soft drusen (small yellowish deposits in the eye) and mortality rates in a representative U.S. population of 4,497 people from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2008.
- After an average follow-up period of over 12 years, the study found that 22.5% of participants died, and those with soft drusen had higher risks of dying from all causes (41% increase) and specifically from cardiovascular disease (53% increase).
- The findings suggest that soft drusen may be indicators of overall frailty and age-related health issues, particularly in individuals with larger or multiple types of soft drusen
Beyond the Heart: The Predictive Role of Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring in Non-Cardiovascular Disease Risk Stratification.

PearResearch, Dehradun 248001, India.
Article Synopsis
- Coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) is a non-invasive method that improves cardiovascular risk assessment for individuals without symptoms and is increasingly linked to non-cardiovascular diseases and overall mortality.
- The review emphasizes a strong connection between CACS and various non-CV diseases like COPD, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, suggesting CACS could help with early diagnosis and risk evaluation.
- Further research is needed to determine effective CACS cutoff values and enhance integration of this scoring into healthcare for better preventive care.

Background: Heart failure is common, complex, and often associated with coexisting chronic medical conditions and a high mortality. We aimed to assess the epidemiology of people admitted to hospital with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), including the period covering the COVID-19 pandemic, which was previously not well characterised.
Methods: In this retrospective, cohort study, we used whole-population electronic health records with 57 million individuals in England to identify patients hospitalised with heart failure as the primary diagnosis in any consultant episode of an in-patient admission to a National Health Service (NHS) hospital.
