Background And Aims: In patients with NAFLD, liver fibrosis increases liver-related complications, but there is controversy about the increase in CVD. Based on a prospective cohort study, this study investigated the risk of cardiovascular disease due to liver fibrosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Methods And Results: This study analyzed KCPS-II prospective cohort that tracked 104,399 people who participated in health check-ups at 18 institutions nationwide from 2004 to 2013. If the fatty liver index was 30 or higher, it was defined as SLD, and participants were classified into No-SLD, MASLD, MetALD, ALD, and Cryptogenic SLD. Liver fibrosis was defined by the FIB-4 index, and the occurrence of cardiovascular disease according to SLD classification was analyzed using Cox proportional model regression analysis. Out study included a total of 6,942 participants (6.6%) had MASLD, 6,694 (6.4%) had MetALD, 4,751 (4.6%) had ALD, and 382 (0.3%) had Cryptogenic SLD. For the cases of FIB-4 index ≥1.3, the multivariable-adjusted HR (95% CI) of cardiovascular disease was 2.27 (1.87-2-76) in MASLD, 1.67 (1.30-2.10) in MetALD, and 2.56 (1.99-3.30) in ALD, but it was 0.78 (0.19-3.10) in Cryptogenic_SLD, which was not significant. The risk of cardiovascular disease according to the fibrosis stage classified by BARD also presented similar results.
Conclusions: This prospective cohort study of Korean patients with newly defined MASLD, MetALD, and ALD with FIB-4 ≥ 1.3 at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Objective: High triglyceride (TG) levels are important risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Some recent studies have shown that snoring is also closely related to elevated TG levels. The specific pathogenesis of elevated TG levels in snoring patients is still unclear.

Background: Lately, numerous researches have portrayed stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is predominantly connected with short-term adverse prognosis among individuals who have acute coronary syndrome. Nevertheless, the relation of SHR with prolonged effects and the value of SHR in predicting in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with or lacking chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unclear. The present study was designed to elucidate the relation of SHR with prolonged prognosis and the value of SHR in predicting the long-term all-cause and cardiovascular death of CAD patients with CKD or non-CKD.

A high-fat diet and physical inactivity are key contributors to obesity, predisposing individuals to various chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which involve multiple organs and tissues. To better understand the role of multi-organ interaction mechanisms in the rising incidence of obesity and its associated chronic conditions, treatment and prevention strategies are being extensively investigated. This review examines the signaling mechanisms between different tissues and organs, with a particular focus on the crosstalk between adipose tissue and the muscle, brain, liver, and heart, and potentially offers new strategies for the treatment and management of obesity and its complications.

Background: Takayasu arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis, in addition to giant cell arteritis. Various post-operative complications associated with the cardiac macrovasculature have been reported. Detachment of the prosthetic valve, pseudoaneurysm formation, and dilatation of the aortic root are well-known post-operative complications associated with vasculitis syndromes, including Takayasu arteritis.

Background: In 2015, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) developed standardized variant curation guidelines for Mendelian disorders. Although these guidelines have been widely adopted, they are not gene- or disease-specific. To mitigate classification discrepancies, the Clinical Genome Resource FBN1 variant curation expert panel (VCEP) was established in 2018 to develop adaptations to the ACMG/AMP criteria for FBN1 in association with Marfan syndrome.
