PM is an important environmental risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and poses a threat to global health. This study combines bibliometric analysis, Mendelian randomization (MR), and Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data to comprehensively explore the relationship between PM exposure and CVD. MR analyses provided strong evidence for causality, reinforcing findings from traditional observational studies. The estimated global burden of PM-related CVD indicated, that there exist significant impacts on the elderly, men, and populations in low and medium socio-demographic index (SDI) areas. This study further found that population growth and aging are the main drivers of this burden with large inequities, although medical advances have mitigated some of the effects. Overall, the opportunity to reduce the burden of CVD remains significant, particularly in medium SDI countries. Projections to 2045 suggested that the absolute burden will increase, while age-standardized rates will decline due to improvements in air quality and health care. These findings emphasized the urgent need for targeted interventions to mitigate the deleterious effects of PM on global cardiovascular health and to address health inequalities between regions.

The adapted Caprini score as a proxy forpostoperative venous thromboembolismprophylaxis: a tertiary hospital experience.
S Afr J Surg
December 2024
Department of Biostatistics, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Free State, South Africa.
Background: Postoperative patients' risk for developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) can be predicted using the adapted Caprini risk assessment model which informs administration of postoperative VTE prophylaxis. The study aimed to assess the appropriateness of postoperative VTE prophylaxis of patients according to the adapted Caprini scores and investigate whether a patient's HIV status influenced postoperative VTE prophylaxis administration.
Methods: This cohort study included patients who had elective or urgent surgery at a tertiary hospital, Bloemfontein.

Department of Surgery, School of Clinical Medicine, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.
Background: Endocrine hypertension is believed to be underestimated worldwide especially in the developing countries. There is a scarcity of publications on endocrine hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this study was to reflect the profile of patients with endocrine hypertension of adrenal/paraganglioma origin at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH).

Background: Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor, yet traditional care often results in suboptimal blood pressure (BP) control at the population level. We implemented a remote hypertension management program that monitored home BP and titrated medications per algorithm. This study assessed the program's long-term effects by examining participants' office BP up to 42 months post-enrollment.

Background: Postmenopausal women (PMW) who complete menopause at a late age (55+ years) have lower cardiovascular disease risk than PMW who complete menopause at a normal age (45-54 years). However, the influence of late-onset menopause on vascular endothelial dysfunction is unknown. Moreover, the mechanisms by which a later age at menopause may modulate endothelial function remain to be determined.

Background: Patients with acute myocardial infarction and angiographically obstructive non-culprit lesions are at high risk for recurrent major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). However, it remains largely unknown whether events are due to stenosis severity or due to the underlying high-risk lesion morphology.
Methods: Between January 2017 and December 2021, 1312 patients with acute myocardial infarction underwent optical coherence tomography of all the 3 main epicardial arteries after successful percutaneous coronary intervention.
