Ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery (INOCA) is a blind spot of coronary artery disease (CAD). Such patients are often reassured but offered no specific care, that lead to a heightened risk of adverse cerebrovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is proven to correlate independently with CAD and its severity, but it is unknown whether EAT is a specific and sensitive indicator of INOCA. This review focuses on the INOCA epidemiology and related factors, as well as the association between EAT.

Genetic Predisposition to Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Incident Type 2 Diabetes.
JAMA Cardiol
January 2025
Program of Medical and Population Genetics, Broad Institute of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Harvard, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Importance: Treatment to lower high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces incident coronary artery disease (CAD) risk but modestly increases the risk for incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). The extent to which genetic factors across the cholesterol spectrum are associated with incident T2D is not well understood.
Objective: To investigate the association of genetic predisposition to increased LDL-C levels with incident T2D risk.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction during pregnancy is a rare condition with an incidence of 1 to 10 per 100,000 deliveries. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is dominating the clinical presentation. It is estimated that 29% of the patients had normal coronary arteries, and hyperthyroidism may be associated with coronary vasospasm.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune rheumatic disease (ARD) that results from the dysregulation of multiple innate and adaptive immune pathways. Late-onset SLE (Lo-SLE) is the term used when the disease is first diagnosed after 50-65 years, though the standard age cut-off remains undefined. Defining "late-onset" as lupus with onset after 50 years is more biologically plausible as this roughly corresponds to the age of menopause.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome affecting a growing global population. Due to the high incidence of cardiovascular risk factors, a large proportion of the Western population is at risk for heart failure. Oxidative stress and inflammation play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Cardiol Rev

Department of Cardiology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City, NY.
Coronary artery calcification is an impediment to percutaneous coronary interventions by obstructing the device pathway or stent deployment. To facilitate percutaneous coronary intervention in such complex lesions, high-pressure balloon dilations, atherectomy procedures, and specialty balloons are used but they all come with considerable limitations and periprocedural complications like dissection and perforation. To surpass these disadvantages, intravascular lithotripsy was introduced which acts by delivering high-pressure pulsatile sonic waves circumferentially thereby destroying the calcium deposits.
