Article Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients are predisposed to various cardiovascular complications due to the nature and progression of the disease; the clinical outcomes of SCD patients experiencing myocardial infarction (MI) and undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are not well known. This study aims to explore a comprehensive nationwide analysis of the clinical outcomes in SCD patients who have suffered an MI and subsequently undergone PCI. It also identifies potential complications and compares their outcomes with non-SCD counterparts with the same interventions. We conducted a retrospective analysis of SCD patients who have suffered an MI and subsequently undergone PCI using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2016 to 2020. The primary outcome was mortality, while the secondary outcomes were the average length of stay, comorbid conditions, and cardiovascular outcomes. Logistic, linear, and Poisson regression model analysis applied for outcomes and adjusting co-founders. P-value <0.05 was considered significant. A total of 775 patients were analyzed for MI who had PCI with SCD, with a mean age of 58±1.06 years. SCD patients exhibited higher rates of comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus (45.81% vs. 37.84%), obesity (23.87% vs. 20.85%), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) (29.03% vs. 17.36%). Heart failure was more common among SCD patients with 34.19% vs. 26.02% in non-SCD patients (OR 1.5, CI 1.1-2.1, p-value=0.02). Other cardiovascular complications such as stroke, ventricular arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary edema, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, and mortality did not significantly differ between SCD and non-SCD (P-values >0.05). The study observed that SCD patients experienced a significantly higher incidence of heart failure than non-SCD patients. This implies that SCD patients undergoing PCI for MI exhibit distinct clinical outcomes compared to their non-SCD counterparts.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects a substantial proportion of the world's population and is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to cardiac arrhythmias, specifically prolonged QT intervals. This study investigates the correlation between glycemic control and cardiac health in 77 diabetic patients.
Methods: Patients with both type 1 and type 2 DM aged 14 to 82 years were included.
Orchestrated desaturation reprogramming from stearoyl-CoA desaturase to fatty acid desaturase 2 in cancer epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis.

Background: Adaptative desaturation in fatty acid (FA) is an emerging hallmark of cancer metabolic plasticity. Desaturases such as stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) have been implicated in multiple cancers, and their dominant and compensatory effects have recently been highlighted. However, how tumors initiate and sustain their self-sufficient FA desaturation to maintain phenotypic transition remains elusive.

An anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the opposite sinus (R- ACAOS) with interarterial course is a very rare congenital anomaly with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. A 29-year-old woman was admitted for exertional angina pectoris. A coronary computed tomography angiography with 3D multiplanar reconstruction revealed an R-ACAOS running between the aorta and pulmonary artery with high anatomical features and no ischemia-induced at the stress test.

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) represent one of the cornerstones of treatment for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Post-hoc data from the TOPCAT trial, conducted in patients with heart failure mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF), suggest the possible clinical benefit of MRAs, particularly for slightly reduced ejection fraction values. The advent of non-steroidal MRAs, including finerenone, seems to represent a turning point in the treatment for HFmrEF/HFpEF.

Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major concern in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) have different guidelines for SCD risk stratification. Their comparative performance in diverse populations remains uncertain.
