Aims: Given the notable rise in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in China, it is urgent to identify early screening indicators. Extensive dose-response meta-analyses have been conducted to investigate the association between resting heart rate (RHR) and MS, and additional relevant studies have been updated in the last five years. Therefore, this paper aims to update the results of previous meta-analyses.
Data Synthesis: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched from the inception to 25th May 2023. Additional relevant references were manually screened. Quality assessment was performed independently by authors using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Stata 15.0 software was applied for data analysis. A random-effects model was adopted to pool the effect size of hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). A restricted cubic spline function was utilized to assess dose-response relationships. The protocol was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (number CRD42023458979). 35 studies from 21 reports were included, with 433,365 adults and 84,354 events of MS and/or diabetes mellitus. The highest RHR tertile was positively associated with the risk of MS [HR = 1.80, 95% CI (1.60, 2.04)]. Dose-response analysis suggested a non-linear correlation between RHR and MS, with a 3.5% increase in risk per unit increase in RHR, at a RHR of 42.5.
Conclusions: Both high RHR and its increasing rate are significantly associated with the risk of MS. Therefore, RHR might be a non-invasive and convenient community-based screening tool for the management and monitoring of MS.

BAY 2413555 is a novel selective and reversible positive allosteric modulator of the type 2 muscarinic acetylcholine (M2) receptor, aimed at enhancing parasympathetic signaling and restoring cardiac autonomic balance for the treatment of heart failure (HF). This study tested the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of this novel therapeutic option. REMOTE-HF was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase Ib dose-titration study with two active arms.

Introduction The study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the early patient outcome and left ventricular function after mitral valve replacement with a tilting disc valve and total preservation. Patients and methods This retrospective observational study includes patients who underwent mitral valve replacement using a tilting disc valve with total preservation of mitral valvular and subvalvular apparatus from July 2021 to August 2022 at a single center. Results The data were reviewed retrospectively for age, sex, comorbidities, operating time, aortic cross-clamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, preoperative and postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, mean gradient across the mitral valve, left ventricular diameter, left atrial size, atrial fibrillation, complications, mortality, and early patient outcome.

Background: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a disease resulting from an overactive type 2 response to . Initial studies suggest that asthma biologics can effectively treat ABPA, but it is unclear which biologic class is superior.
Objective: We sought to compare the effectiveness of asthma biologics in the treatment of ABPA.

Early detection of a premetabolic status that is at risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS) but not meeting the criteria is crucial. This study examined 27,623 participants aged 20-50 (mean: 40.7) years who underwent initial health screening at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital (2011-2019), focusing on individuals with one or two MetS components.

Background: Patients with type 1 diabetes (DM1), even in the setting of adequate glycaemic control, have an excess risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Residual insulin secretion (RIS), measured by detectable C-peptide levels in patients with DM1, might protect against diabetes-related complications. This study aimed to examine the relationship between residual insulin secretion and prognostic markers of cardiovascular complications in patients with DM1.
