Background: Secondary bile acids (SBAs), the products of bacterial metabolism, are ligands of the nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and have been implicated in cardiovascular health. Diet can modulate gut microbiota composition and bile acid metabolism.
Objectives: We aimed to examine the associations of circulating SBAs and their receptor polymorphisms with the risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) among people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: A total of 1234 participants with newly diagnosed T2D without CVD or cancer were included from the Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort study in China. Circulating SBAs and their conjugated forms were quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Fifteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding bile acid receptors were genotyped.
Results: During a median follow-up of 5.7 y, 259 incident CVD cases were documented. After multivariable adjustment, higher levels of unconjugated SBAs [sum of deoxycholic acid (DCA), lithocholic acid, and ursodeoxycholic acid] and DCA were significantly associated with a higher risk of CVD among people with T2D, with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 1.62 (1.12, 2.35) and 1.46 (1.04, 2.06) comparing the extreme quartile of SBAs and DCA, respectively. Restricted cubic spline regression suggested a linear relationship of unconjugated SBAs and DCA with an elevated risk of CVD, and per standard deviation, an increment in natural log-transformed unconjugated SBAs and DCA was associated with an 18% (95% CI: 4%, 34%) and 16% (95% CI: 2%, 33%) higher risk of CVD, respectively. Moreover, genetic variants in FXR (rs56163822 TT compared with GG, and rs17030295 TT compared with CC) were significantly associated with a 121%-129% higher risk of CVD among individuals with T2D.
Conclusions: A higher proportion of unconjugated SBAs, especially DCA, is linearly associated with a higher risk of CVD among people with newly diagnosed T2D. Our findings support the potential role of gut microbiota-derived SBAs in cardiovascular health in individuals with T2D.

Elevated Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictor of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Hypertensive Individuals.
J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich)

Department of Cardiology, Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China.
The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been proposed as a promising inflammatory biomarker, with potential implications for cardiovascular prognosis. However, its association with mortality outcomes in hypertensive individuals is not fully elucidated. This investigation sought to clarify the linkage between PLR and both overall and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive individuals.

Aim: To evaluate whether integrating Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) into the SCORE2 cardiovascular risk prediction framework improves its predictive accuracy and clinical applicability within the UK Biobank population.
Method: A 10-year prospective cohort study was conducted with 448,303 UK Biobank participants eligible for SCORE2 calculation. Three approaches were employed: (1) threshold analysis to determine the optimal ApoB cutoff for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction using Youden's Index, (2) assessment of the synergistic effect of SCORE2 and ApoB through concordant and discordant classifications, and (3) recalibration of the SCORE2 model by incorporating ApoB as an additional predictor.
A study to compare and correlate the effect of a yogic lifestyle on Framingham, Q RISK 3, and WHO risk scores among high-risk cardiovascular subjects.

Department of Physiology, Rajasthan University of Health Sciences, Jaipur, India.
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Yoga is a low-cost, easily accessible lifestyle modification program that holds as an approach to decreasing cardiometabolic risk factors and increasing exercise self-efficacy among high-risk subjects. This study aimed to assess the impact of the yogic lifestyle (including diet) on cardiovascular risk scores by using the Framingham (FRS), QRISK3 score, and World Health Organization (WHO) CVD risk prediction charts at baseline, three months, and six months.

Background: Women with previous hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Overweight is a modifiable risk factor for both conditions. Anthropometric indices such as waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, estimated total body fat, a body shape index, waist-to-hip-to-height ratio, and index of central obesity improve estimation of cardiovascular death risk in the general population as compared to body mass index (BMI).

Background: Previous studies found that it is promising to achieve the protective effects of dietary patterns on cardiovascular health through the modulation of gut microbiota. However, conflicting findings have been reported on how dietary patterns impact gut microbiota in individuals either established or at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our systematic review aimed to explore the effect of dietary patterns on gut microbiota composition and on risk factors for CVD in these populations.
