The blood lipid levels were collated with the atherosclerotic damage to the coronary bed in 124 patients with coronary heart disease. An increase in the content of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol directly correlated with the degree of the total lesion of the coronary bed. The concentrations of high density cholesterol and very low density cholesterol and the atherogenicity index showed no correlation with the severity of atherosclerotic changes in the coronary arteries. The level of triglycerides in these patients displayed a tendency to increase. In evaluating the severity of coronary heart disease, it is recommended to determine the levels of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. Changes in the concentration of high density lipoprotein cholesterol are unreliable for assessing the degree of coronary atherosclerosis.

Most postoperative deaths occur on general wards, often linked to complications associated with untreated changes in vital signs. Monitoring in these units is typically intermittent checks each shift or maximally every 4-6 h, which misses prolonged periods of subtle changes in physiology that can herald a critical downstream event. Continuous monitoring of vital signs is therefore intuitively necessary for patient safety.

The endothelium plays a key role in regulating vascular homeostasis by responding to a large spectrum of chemical and physical stimuli. Vasculitis is a group of inflammatory conditions affecting the vascular bed, and it is known that they are strongly linked to endothelial dysfunction (ED). Kawasaki disease (KD) is one childhood systemic vasculitis, and it represents the leading cause of acquired cardiac disease in children due to coronary damage and subsequent cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality.

Article Synopsis
- HFpEF is commonly found in patients with moderate AFMR, significantly impacting clinical outcomes, leading to higher mortality and hospitalization rates.
- Patients with HFpEF-AFMR were generally older and faced more severe symptoms, including a higher prevalence of severe tricuspid regurgitation.
- Interventions, such as combined mitral and tricuspid valve procedures or rhythm control therapy, improved clinical outcomes compared to isolated treatments.
