Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) are a leading contributor to worldwide morbidity and mortality. Recent insights into the pathogenesis of CMDs reveal crucial roles of intercellular crosstalk between metabolically active organs and cardiac cells. In this context, extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipid membrane-delimited particles containing diverse cargo (including small and long RNAs, proteins, lipids, and metabolites), and non-vesicular extracellular particles (NVEPs) have emerged as key mediators of cell-to-cell communications. EV cargo can reflect the metabolic state of their cells of origin and affect the function of their target cells. Understanding EV cargo content and function is essential for unraveling the pathophysiology of CMDs. This mini-review describes recent studies on EV-mediated local and interorgan crosstalk in CMDs, focusing on those that lead to atrial and ventricular myopathy which are hallmarks of atrial fibrillation and heart failure, respectively. Lastly, this review discusses the potential applications of EVs in the diagnostics and therapeutics of these CMDs.

Background: Although existing studies have reported associations between blood group A and cardiometabolic diseases (CMD), most have focused on dominant inheritance models. However, genome-wide association studies have mostly been based on additive genotypes. This study aims to investigate the association between the blood group A allele and 15 CMD using recessive, dominant, and additive models and identify potential mediators.

Evidence on when socioeconomic inequalities in conventional cardiometabolic risk factors emerge and how these change over time is sparse but important in identifying pathways to socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular disease (CVD). We examine socioeconomic inequalities in cardiometabolic risk factors trajectories across childhood and adolescence. Data were from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), born in 1991/1992.

Objective: Law enforcement officers (LEOs) face numerous stressors that exacerbate cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk. The current study examined novel and classic risk factors among a cohort of LEOs to better understand relationships between biomarkers of stress, oxidative stress, inflammation, and CMD risk.
Methods: Associations between measures of cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, body composition, and cardiometabolic health with novel/classic CMD risk factors were assessed among 66 male LEOs.
Obesity is a highly heterogeneous disease that cannot be captured by one single adiposity trait. Here, we performed a multi-trait analysis to study obesity in the context of its common cardiometabolic comorbidities, acknowledging that not all individuals with obesity suffer from cardiometabolic comorbidities and that not all those with normal weight clinically present without them. We leveraged individual-level genotype-phenotype data of 452,768 individuals from the UK Biobank and designed uncoupling phenotypes that are continuous and range from high adiposity with a healthy cardiometabolic profile to low adiposity with an unhealthy cardiometabolic profile.

Background: The visceral adiposity index (VAI) reflects changes in visceral adipose function and is also linked to cardiometabolic risk. The study aimed to investigate the association between VAI and both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in the U.S.
