Inflammation has a pivotal role in cardiac remodeling, and circulating biomarkers of inflammation are independently associated with risk of developing heart failure and with prognosis after onset of the condition. Pentraxin 3 has been suggested as a novel biomarker of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with normal ejection fraction.

Summary: This study investigated the association between markers of white matter connectivity and depressive symptoms. The findings suggest that fewer white matter connections may contribute to prevalent depressive symptoms and its persistence.

Blood Pressure Responses During Exercise: Physiological Correlates and Clinical Implications

Summary: By measuring the changes in blood pressure and vascular stiffness, the cardiac and vascular components of exercise blood pressure can be analyzed. The study found that higher peak exercise blood pressure is associated with both higher arterial stiffness and higher cardiac-peripheral performance, especially in women. Therefore, studying the response of blood pressure to exercise in relation to vascular and cardiac physiology can reveal mechanisms of hypertension and clarify the clinical interpretation of exercise blood pressure.

Summary: We identified 5 protein biomarkers associated with incident HFpEF, including NT-proBNP, growth differentiation factor-15, adrenomedullin, uncarboxylated matrix Gla protein, and C-reactive protein. We also found 14 biomarkers associated with incident HFrEF, including myeloperoxidase, resistin, and paraoxanase-1. These findings provide insights into similarities and differences in the development of HF subtypes.

Summary: This study investigated the association between serum AT1AA levels and serum MGO and AGE levels in APA patients, and found no significant correlation between these markers. Furthermore, no significant changes were observed in these markers after adrenalectomy in APA patients.

In RA patients without prevalent CVD, incident CVD is mainly associated with traditional risk factors: A 20-year follow-up in the CARR?E cohort study

Summary: This study investigated the cardiovascular disease (CVD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients over a 20-year follow-up, with a focus on patients without prevalent CVD. The results showed that the increased risk of CVD in RA patients without prevalent CVD is mainly due to the presence of traditional risk factors rather than RA itself.

Genetic Effect on Body Mass Index and Cardiovascular Disease Across Generations

Summary: The effects of genetic burden on obesity risk and cardiovascular disease differ based on birth year, with individuals born after 1960 being more strongly affected. This suggests that the impact of genetics on obesity and cardiovascular risks may be amplified in the increasingly obesogenic environment.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between healthy dietary patterns and physical fitness in adults, as well as the biological connections between diet and fitness through circulating metabolites. The results indicate that a healthy diet is associated with greater physical fitness in middle-aged adults, and this relationship may be explained by favorable metabolic health.

Summary: Systolic blood pressure increases with age after midlife, particularly in women, and contributes to development of wide pulse pressure hypertension in middle-aged and older adults. The relative contributions of aortic stiffness and premature wave reflection to increases in pulse pressure remain controversial.

Social, Behavioral, and Metabolic Risk Factors and Racial Disparities in Cardiovascular Disease Mortality in US Adults: An Observational Study

Jiang He, Joshua D. Bundy, Siyi Geng, Ling Tian, Hua He, Xingyan Li, Keith C. Ferdinand, Amanda H. Anderson, Kirsten S. Dorans, Ramachandran S. Vasan, Katherine T. Mills, Jing Chen

Summary: The study examines the association between social, behavioral, and metabolic risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and whether there are racial differences in CVD mortality after accounting for these factors. The results show that social, behavioral, and metabolic risk factors are significantly associated with CVD mortality. After adjusting for these factors, the Black-White difference in CVD mortality diminishes and completely dissipates with adjustment for social determinants of health.

Summary: Arterial tonometry and vascular calcification measures are valuable in assessing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study examined the relationship between arterial tonometry, platelet function, arterial calcium, and aortic diameter. The results suggest that higher arterial calcium may be associated with increased platelet reactivity, while larger aortic diameter may be linked to lower platelet reactivity. These findings indicate the potential interplay between subclinical atherosclerosis, platelet activation, and vascular structure.
