Background: A subset of individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) have a high burden of cardiovascular risk factors and cerebral small-vessel disease, implicating vascular disease in the development of depression. Cross-sectional studies demonstrate a link between endothelial dysfunction and MDD, but the prospective association between peripheral endothelial dysfunction (PED) and an incident diagnosis of MDD is unknown.
Methods And Results: Patients undergoing a baseline assessment of cardiovascular risk were evaluated for PED using reactive hyperemia-peripheral arterial tonometry (≤1.
Article Synopsis
- Obesity is a significant public health issue, impacting nearly half of U.S. adults, and is linked to increased risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related mortality, prompting guidelines to recommend weight loss for prevention.
- Recent advancements in pharmacologic treatments for weight management may help healthcare professionals see obesity as a treatable chronic condition and encourage patients to pursue weight loss again after unsuccessful prior attempts.
- The article highlights the challenges and advantages of various obesity treatments and emphasizes the effectiveness and safety of new glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, suggesting these medications be prioritized in managing obesity and reducing CVD risk, especially for individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Background Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental disorders and are an emerging risk factor for coronary artery disease and its complications. We determine the relationship between having a clinical diagnosis of an anxiety disorder and coronary endothelial dysfunction (CED) using invasive coronary reactivity testing across both sexes. Methods and Results Patients presenting with chest pain and nonobstructive coronary artery disease (stenosis <40%) at coronary angiography underwent an invasive assessment of CED.
