An exceptional combination of three major coronary anomalies: a single coronary artery, a congenital coronary-right ventricular fistula and a large proximal coronary aneurysm were found in a living 66-year-old patient suffering from post-myocardial ischaemic heart disease. Each coronary anomally and their influence on the clinical situation of the patient are briefly discussed.

Gut Microbiota Metabolites Sensed by Host GPR41/43 Protect Against Hypertension.

Hypertension Research Laboratory, School of Biological Sciences (R.R.M., T.Z., E.D., L.X., A.B.-W., H.A.J., M.N., M.P., K.C.L., W.Q., J.A.O.D., F.Z.M.).
Background: Fermentation of dietary fiber by the gut microbiota leads to the production of metabolites called short-chain fatty acids, which lower blood pressure and exert cardioprotective effects. Short-chain fatty acids activate host signaling responses via the functionally redundant receptors GPR41 and GPR43, which are highly expressed by immune cells. Whether and how these receptors protect against hypertension or mediate the cardioprotective effects of dietary fiber remains unknown.

Stress computed tomography perfusion (CTP) delivers a comprehensive evaluation of both the anatomical and functional aspects in a single examination. It stands out as the only non-invasive technique capable of quantifying coronary stenosis and assessing its functional impact, offering a consolidated diagnostic and management approach for patients with confirmed or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). This very practical review ('How to.

Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improves outcomes in patients with ischemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, but accurate patient selection remains critical. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging aids in assessing myocardial viability, a key predictor of surgical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of myocardial viability on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing CABG.

Background: Cardiometabolic disorders may accelerate the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), potentially impacting ethnic-racial groups with a higher prevalence of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, though limited data exists on Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) populations.
Objective: This study aims to examine the prevalence of diabetes and associated comorbidities among AD patients from different ethnic-racial groups - Asians, Whites, and NHPIs - in Hawaii, with a focus on identifying risk factors linked to AD.
Method: A retrospective review was conducted on AD patient records from a single center in Hawaii, spanning June 2018 to June 2024.

Objectives: Postoperative pulmonary complications (POPC) are common after cardiac surgeries such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and are influenced by factors including anesthesia and surgical trauma. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with visual biofeedback may mitigate these complications. This study investigates the impact of threshold loading inspiratory muscle training (TL-IMT) combined with respiratory biofeedback on the dynamic strength of inspiratory muscles (S-index) in patients undergoing CABG surgery during their hospitalization phase.
