Background: Globally, coronary artery disease (CAD) and cancer are the leading causes of death. Studies focusing on the proportion and spectrum of cancer mortality among CAD patients are lacking. We aim to characterize the proportion and spectrum of cancer-specific mortality among patients with CAD.

Methods: We analyzed 93,797 hospitalized survivors with angiographically documented CAD between 2007 and 2020 (mean age: 62.8 ± 11.1 years, 24.7% female) from Cardiorenal ImprovemeNt II (CIN-II) cohort.

Results: During the median follow-up of 4.8 years (IQR: 2.6-7.5), 13,162 (14.0%) patients died after discharge. A total of 1223/7703 (15.8% of cause-specific death) CAD patients died of cancer. The three most common types of cancer-specific death were lung (36.1%), liver (13.3%), and colorectum cancer (12.8%). Furthermore, male (adjusted HR 2.38, 95% CI: 1.99-2.85) and older (≥60 vs. <60 years, adjusted HR 3.25, 95%CI 2.72-3.88) patients had a significantly increased cancer-specific mortality.

Conclusions: Our data suggest that nearly one-sixth of death is accounted for cancer among CAD patients within a median follow-up of 4.8 years. Lung, liver, and colorectum cancer are top three cancer-specific mortality. Further studies are needed to reduce cancer mortality for CAD patients, especially in older and male ones.

Leptin drives glucose metabolism to promote cardiac protection via OPA1-mediated HDAC5 translocation and Glut4 transcription.

Metabolic reprogramming, the shifting from fatty acid oxidation to glucose utilization, improves cardiac function as heart failure (HF) progresses. Leptin plays an essential role in regulating glucose metabolism. However, the crosstalk between leptin and metabolic reprogramming is poorly understood.

Artificial intelligence-based quantitative coronary angiography (AI-QCA) was introduced to address manual QCA's limitations in reproducibility and correction process. The present study aimed to assess the performance of an updated AI-QCA solution (MPXA-2000) in lesion detection and quantification using manual QCA as the reference standard, and to demonstrate its superiority over visual estimation. This multi-center retrospective study analyzed 1,076 coronary angiography images obtained from 420 patients, comparing AI-QCA and visual estimation against manual QCA as the reference standard.

The study sought to assess the clinical utility of complete blood count-derived composite scores, suggesting their potential as markers of inflammation and disease severity in Kawasaki disease (KD) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) with Kawasaki-like features. This retrospective study analyzed data from 71 KD and 73 MIS-C patients and 70 healthy controls. The KD group showed a higher rate of coronary involvement (26.

The constantly emerging evidence indicates a close association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the exact mechanisms underlying their mutual relationship remain undefined. This study aims to explore the common signature genes, potential mechanisms, diagnostic markers, and therapeutic targets for CAD and NAFLD.

Background And Aims: Due to the multitude of risk factors outlined in the guidelines, personalised dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) guidance after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is complex. A simplified method was created to facilitate the use of risk stratification. We aimed to compare the predictive and prognostic value of the 'Zuidoost Nederland Hart Registratie' (ZON-HR) classification for bleeding risk with the PREdicting bleeding Complications In patients undergoing Stent implantation and subsEquent DAPT (PRECISE-DAPT) score and to determine the effect of ticagrelor monotherapy versus DAPT in patients with or without high bleeding risk (HBR).
