Summary: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by a bimodal mortality pattern related to clinical disease activity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The high prevalence of CVD in SLE patients is believed to be caused by the complex interaction between traditional and non-traditional CVD risk factors. Additionally, nutritional approaches have the potential to reduce SLE severity and organ damage by modulating the development of CVD risk factors.

Summary: Poor sleep quality may be associated with poor cardiovascular health during pregnancy, and this association may be mediated by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Late chronotype and snoring, in particular, may worsen cardiovascular health by increasing chronic inflammation.

Summary: Monomeric C-reactive protein (mCRP) plays a critical role in the development of diseases caused by inflammation. Its tissue and cellular distribution are associated with inflammation and the progression of neurological and cardiovascular complications. Current research has also identified the diagnostic and prognostic potential of mCRP, making it a potential target for future therapeutic interventions.

Summary: Disrupted circadian rhythms have been found to be associated with an increased risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. This study reveals a U-shaped relationship between sleep length and SBP/DBP, and a positive association between poor sleep quality/night shift work and SBP/DBP.

Summary: Cardiovascular complications during pregnancy, such as preeclampsia and peripartum cardiomyopathy, have become a major cause of maternal mortality and have long-term effects on maternal cardiovascular health. However, the causes and mechanisms underlying these complications are not well understood, and treatment options are limited. Preclinical models have played an important role in advancing our understanding of these diseases.

Summary: This study demonstrates that bempedoic acid can reduce hsCRP levels in patients at risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The changes in hsCRP and LDL-C are related, but the effect of bempedoic acid on hsCRP is independent of LDL-C lowering.

Summary: This study investigated the association between increased C-reactive protein (CRP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with rectal cancer, as well as the impact of chemotherapy on increasing CRP and its underlying mechanisms.

Summary: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Lipid-lowering agents used in the treatment of CVD may also have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. This review aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory properties of currently available lipid-lowering medications, dietary supplements, and novel drugs.

Summary: Elevated levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with worse ischemic outcomes, including all-cause mortality, in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Inflammation, indicated by high hsCRP levels, may increase cardiovascular risk independent of diabetes status.

Summary: Women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy have higher rates of long-term cardiovascular events, and the American Heart Association calls for early identification and risk reduction by physicians. This review discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and outcomes of HDP-associated cardiovascular disease.

Summary: Systemic vascular inflammation plays crucial roles in the progression and destabilization of ASCVD, requiring more individualized approaches for successful clinical translation. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein may serve as a clinical measure of inflammation.

Summary: This study compared the risk of cardiovascular disease outcomes for women with and without a history of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia using national hospital admissions data in England. The results showed that women with previous gestational hypertension or pre-eclampsia had a greater risk of various cardiovascular outcomes, including stroke, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and peripheral arterial disease. The associations were consistent across different cardiovascular disease subtypes and increased with the number of affected pregnancies.
