Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the ability of subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR) to predict the degree of coronary artery stenosis and the relationship between SEVR and the incidence of short-term cardiovascular endpoint events.
Method: The indexes of 243 patients with chest pain were collected.. Binary logistic regression analyses were performed using the dichotomous outcome of high and non-high SYNTAX scores. Receiver operating characteristic curves were employed to comparatively analyze the diagnostic efficiencies of the indices and models. A survival analysis combined with the Cox regression analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method to understand the relationship between the SEVR and the incidence of cardiovascular events within 1 year in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).
Results: SEVR was significantly lower ( P < 0.05) in the high-stenosis group than control and low-stenosis groups. The diagnostic efficacy of SEVR [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.861] was better than those of age (AUC = 0.745), ABI (AUC = 0.739), and AIx@HR75 (AUC = 0.659). The cutoff SEVR was 1.105. In patients with confirmed CHD who had been discharged from the hospital for 1 year, only SEVR affected survival outcomes (hazard ratio = 0.010; 95% confidence interval: 0.001-0.418; P = 0.016).
Conclusion: A significant decrease in SEVR predicted severe coronary artery stenosis, with a cutoff value of 1.105 and an accuracy of 0.861. In patients with CHD, the lower the SEVR, the higher was the rate of cardiovascular events at 1 year after hospital discharge.

Rationale And Objectives: Increased aortic or central arterial stiffness (CAS) is a major factor in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with vascular risk factors. Decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and increased urinary albumin excretion (uALB) are associated with lethal and non-lethal cardiovas-cular events. The pathophysiological mechanisms of this association are not fully defined.

To investigate the predictive value of the central arterial waveform for intradialytic blood pressure (BP) change, a total of 152 hemodialysis patients (mean age 68 years) on a thrice-weekly hemodialysis schedule were enrolled, and at both the first and second session of the week, BP and central arterial waveform were measured every 30 min during hemodialysis. In both sessions, a 1-standard deviation increase in baseline subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR), an index of subendocardial perfusion, as well as in baseline systolic BP (SBP) was an independent predictor of maximum SBP decrease ≥ 30 mmHg during hemodialysis. When divided into four groups based on the respective median level of SEVR in the SBP ≥ median and SBP < median groups, intradialytic SBP change was different among the subgroups.

Objective: Hyperthyroidism increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study we compared non-invasive haemodynamics between 20 hyperthyroid patients and 60 euthyroid subjects.
Methods: The measurements were performed median 6 days after the initiation of antithyroid medication when the patients were still hyperthyroid.

Article Synopsis
- A young Asian man presented with chest pain and a recent history of flu-like symptoms, despite testing negative for COVID-19.
- His tests indicated significant heart issues, including abnormal ECG readings, elevated troponin levels, and moderate left ventricular dysfunction, leading doctors to suspect perimyocarditis and coronary artery disease.
- After further imaging and procedures, including a coronary angiogram and treatment for his heart condition, the man had a partial success with an ablation for an accessory pathway and was discharged in stable condition.

Article Synopsis
- Ultramarathon participation is on the rise, exposing runners to extreme conditions and unique stressors, but its immediate effects on the cardiovascular system remain largely unclear.* -
- A study during the 2023 Western States Endurance Run involved 41 middle-aged runners and measured changes in central artery stiffness, blood pressure, and muscle damage before and after the race.* -
- Results showed no significant change in arterial stiffness, a reduction in blood pressure, significant decreases in several cardiovascular metrics, and a dramatic increase in muscle damage as indicated by creatine kinase levels post-race.*
