Objective: The aim: Study of prognostic possibilities of batokine complexes (fibroblast growth factor (FGF-21) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A)) in determining the risks of developing coronary heart disease (CHD) and obesity (especially in case of their comorbidity).

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 105 patients aged 25-85 were examined: 70 (main group) -with CHD on the background of obesity and 35 - with isolated CHD (comparison group).

Results: Results: Probable associations with increased risks of comorbidity of CHD and obesity were: increased systolic blood pressure (SBP) (OR = 0.844 [95.0% CI 0.735-0.970], p = 0.017), FGF-21 (OR = 1.701 [95.0 % CI 1.219-2.375], p = 0.002), VEGF-A (OR = 1.725 [95.0% CI 1.213-2.372], p = 0.005), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (OR = 4.419 [95.0% CI 1.351-14.469], p = 0.014). Probable associations were also established for lesions of the left anterior descending artery (LADA) (OR = 1.117 [95.0% CI 0.987-1.263], p = 0.078), intermediate branch of the left coronary artery (IBLCA) (OR = 1.336 [95.0% CI 1.099-1.624], p = 0.004).

Conclusion: Conclusions: The values of the characteristics of batokine metabolism (FGF-21 and VEGF-A levels) can be used as a significant predictor of the development of obesity in CHD. Increased levels of FGF-21 and VEGF-A in blood serum characterize a significant relationship with the development of such comorbidity, which indicates a significant influence of batokine complexes on the pathogenesis of comorbidity of CHD and obesity.

Background: Several studies have attempted to demonstrate the associations between body mass index (BMI) in early age and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, their findings were inconsistent and inconclusive, indicating the need for further investigation.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies focusing on BMI in early age (age from 2 to 22) in relation to CVDs in adulthood, including coronary artery disease (CHD), ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction and heart failure.

Objective: There is increasing evidence that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). In this study, we provide valuable insights in the field by examining the evolution of the relationship between COPD and CHD over the past 20 years.

Methods: A comprehensive computer search was conducted in the Web of Science (WOS) core dataset, covering literature on COPD combined with CHD from January 1, 2005, to August 20, 2024.

Visiting staff, Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Yuan's General Hospital, Kaohsiung City 802793, Taiwan, Republic of China.

Background: Both serum testosterone (T) levels and erectile dysfunction (ED) are associated with systemic diseases in men and ED is the most common presenting symptom of hypogonadism.

Aim: To evaluate the association of serum total testosterone (TT) levels with cardiometabolic diseases in men with ED.

Methods: Serum endogenous TT levels were determined to evaluate their associations with cardiometabolic diseases in men with ED in outpatient clinics.

Objective: To assess the prevalence of obesity and investigate any changes in body mass index in children with CHD compared to age-matched healthy controls, in Southwestern Ontario.

Methods: The body mass index z-scores of 1259 children (aged 2-18) with CHD were compared with 2037 healthy controls. The body mass index z-scores of children who presented to our paediatric cardiology outpatient clinic from 2018 to 2021 were compared with previously collected data from 2008 to 2010.
