Summary: This study found an association between atherogenic dyslipidaemia and cardiac adipose tissue parameters, particularly an increased volume of epicardial adipose tissue, in patients with coronary artery disease. Atherogenic index of plasma was also associated with type II diabetes, male sex, and coronary artery calcification. These findings suggest that atherogenic dyslipidaemia may contribute to adverse changes in adipose tissue, increasing the risk of coronary artery disease.

Summary: This systematic review examines the associations between perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and lipid concentrations in human populations. The results suggest that PFAS exposure is associated with higher levels of LDL, HDL, and TC, while the association with TG tends to be negative. Additionally, the study indicates a positive relationship between PFAS concentrations and cholesterol-related health outcomes. Further research is needed to investigate the effects of less-studied PFAS on human health.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between lipid profile and prevalence of hypertension in Chinese adult women. The results showed that TC, LDL-c, and non-HDL-c were positively associated with hypertension prevalence, while HDL-c was negatively associated with hypertension prevalence but became nonsignificant after full adjustment for variables.

Summary: Atherogenic dyslipidemia is associated with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), and there is a linear association between triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and the triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein (TG/HDL-C) ratio with arterial stiffness. HDL-C has a stronger association with arterial stiffness, while the association of TG/HDL-C with arterial stiffness is dependent on HDL-C levels.

Summary: In this meta-analysis, the relationship between serum lipid profile and breast cancer risk was investigated. The results showed a negative association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level and breast cancer risk, while other indicators such as TG, TC, ApoA and LDL-C were not associated with breast cancer development.

Summary: Studies have shown varying effects of antidepressant drugs on lipid profiles in patients with major depression disorder (MDD). This study examined the effects of switching antidepressant medication on lipid markers in MDD patients. The findings revealed a decrease in HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol two weeks after switching medication, highlighting the importance of considering these changes in treatment strategies for MDD patients.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the association between triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C) and the risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study found a significant association between TG/HDL-C and prediabetes and T2DM, especially in women. Furthermore, TG/HDL-C was also associated with the risk of developing T2DM in prediabetic individuals.

Summary: This study found that the impact of blood lipids on CVD risk varies according to several biological, lifestyle, and clinical parameters. TC and LDL-C were significant predictors of CVD risk in younger, normal-weight individuals not on lipid-lowering drugs. HDL-C and TG were significant predictors in older individuals, those with low adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and individuals with hypercholesterolemia.

Summary: The study identified common 5-hmC and 5-mC signatures in two populations exposed to varying levels of inorganic As, but differences in As-related epigenetic sites across the study populations may also reflect low and high As-specific associations. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of potential epigenetic dysregulations of As, with further research needed to confirm biological consequences associated with DIP2C epigenetic regulation and investigate the role of 5-hmC and 5-mC separately in As-induced health disorders at different exposure levels.

Summary: Hypertension is a common cardiovascular risk factor, and blood pressure control remains a challenge. Recent clinical trials and evidence have supported the superiority of 24-hour blood pressure measurement and explored new treatment methods and technologies. The use of fixed-dose combination therapy and polypills has been proven effective.

Summary: This systematic review evaluated the relationship between LDL and HDL particle size and number determined by NMR spectroscopy and cardiovascular risk (CVR). The results showed that the number of LDL particles was positively associated with CVR, while LDL particle size was inversely associated. An increase in the number of small LDL particles was associated with an increased CVR, while HDL particle number and size were inversely associated with CVR.

Summary: This study investigated the role of lipoprotein functionality as well as particle number and size in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and on-target LDL-C levels. It was found that ACS patients had higher susceptibility to LDL oxidation and lower HDL-antioxidant capacity. They also had lower HDL-C and Apolipoprotein A-I levels compared to non-ACS patients.

Summary: This study investigated platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (pEVs) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and first-onset acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It was found that CHF patients had reduced pEVs carrying specific antigens, while ACS patients had increased pEVs with phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure. The background etiology of CHF or ACS type did not affect pEV levels.

Summary: Obesity increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but weight loss (>=5%) can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1 RA) have been shown to cause clinically significant weight loss. This study assessed the differences in weight loss and HbA1c efficacy and evaluated the safety and adherence during the titration phase.

Summary: Bempedoic acid is a selective inhibitor that reduces LDL cholesterol levels and has potential cardiovascular benefits. However, there is controversy regarding its net clinical benefit. This meta-analysis of four clinical trials provides reliable evidence that treatment with Bempedoic acid significantly reduces the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, and myocardial revascularization.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the GRACE risk score in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) patients for 30-day mortality and the need for thrombolytic treatment. The study found that the GRACE risk score, along with the PESI score, were independent risk factors associated with 30-day mortality and the need for thrombolytic treatment. The GRACE risk score showed high sensitivity and specificity in predicting mortality, and its combination with the PESI score helped define high-risk PE patients and predict poor prognosis.

Summary: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is commonly used to evaluate isolated tricuspid regurgitation (TR), but there is limited research comparing its quantification with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this study, a novel TTE algorithm was developed to identify severe TR based on TTE parameters. The algorithm had a higher accuracy than the current guidelines' criteria in detecting severe TR by MRI.

Summary: This article presents a case of a patient with known situs inversus who underwent cardiac catheterization and was found to have chronic total occlusion in the right coronary artery. Situs inversus is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by the inverted position of chest and abdominal organs. Cardiac catheterization is uncommon in patients with this particular abnormality, highlighting the importance of customizing techniques to engage coronary arteries and optimize guide support for percutaneous coronary intervention if needed.

Summary: This study evaluated the angiogenic capacity of adipose tissue in patients undergoing cardiac surgeries and found that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) had reduced angiogenic capacity in their pericardial adipose tissue. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulated expression of the anti-angiogenic gene TSP-1 in CAD patients, with no significant differences in other angiogenic factors. Additionally, inhibiting TSP-1 expression significantly improved angiogenic deficiency in CAD patients.

Summary: The current guidelines recommend prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) and low left ventricular ejection fraction. However, not all patients will benefit from ICD treatment. This study evaluated the feasibility of using the MADIT-II-based Risk Stratification Score (MRSS) to predict the survival benefit of prophylactic ICDs in patients with HF. The results showed that different risk subgroups had varying levels of ICD survival benefit.
