An analysis has been made of the structure of a group of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) subjected to prophylactic control in a city polyclinic and the antianginal treatment performed has been assessed. Clinical examination of 85 patients with diagnosed CHD and angina pectoris (AP) and 111 patients with diagnosed CHD only, demonstrated AP in 46.7 and 35.8% of cases, respectively. 50.4% of the patients had contraindications for bicycle ergometry. An adequate treatment with propranolol, sustak (64 mg) and nitrosorbide was effected in less than 2 and 3, and in 6% of patients, respectively. Calcium antagonists in adequate doses were not used.

Aim: There are limited data on the prevalence of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) in Māori and known inequities in outcomes after aortic valve intervention. Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of CAVD in Māori.

Methods: Data from initial clinically indicated echocardiograms performed between 2010 to 2018 in patients aged ≥18 years were linked to nationally collected outcome data.

Lysosomal dysfunction and inflammatory sterol metabolism in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Science

January 2025

Center for Pulmonary Vascular Biology and Medicine, Pittsburgh, Heart, Lung, and Blood Vascular Medicine Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

Vascular inflammation regulates endothelial pathophenotypes, particularly in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Dysregulated lysosomal activity and cholesterol metabolism activate pathogenic inflammation, but their relevance to PAH is unclear. Nuclear receptor coactivator 7 () deficiency in endothelium produced an oxysterol and bile acid signature through lysosomal dysregulation, promoting endothelial pathophenotypes.

Background: The precise pathways connecting insulin resistance (IR) to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remain undefined. The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of arterial stiffness in the association between IR and ASCVD, providing epidemiology insights into the potential mechanisms driving IR to incident ASCVD.

Methods: A total of 59,777 participants from the Kailuan Study Arterial Stiffness Subcohort who were free of ASCVD at baseline were enrolled in the present study.

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are vital tools in cardiovascular disease (CVD) research and care, providing insights that complement traditional clinical outcomes like mortality and morbidity. PROMs capture patient experiences with CVD, such as quality of life, functional capacity, and emotional well-being, allowing clinicians to assess how interventions impact daily life. PROMs are integral to cardiovascular investigations as well as management, especially in chronic conditions and rehabilitation, where they inform on the impact of personalized care plans by tracking symptom progression and patient adherence.
