Summary: The study found that residual waist circumference was significantly associated with all cardiometabolic risk factors in mainland Chinese adults, but not necessarily for other racial/ethnic populations. Furthermore, Chinese adults are more susceptible to the effects of overall obesity and fat distribution on cardiometabolic risk factors compared to other racial/ethnic groups.

Summary: In this post hoc analysis, researchers analyzed data from 4952 patients with type 2 diabetes and found that waist-to-hip ratio, waist circumference, and waist circumference adjusted for hip circumference were independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease outcomes. However, body mass index was only a risk factor for heart failure requiring hospitalization. These findings indicate the importance of considering body fat distribution when assessing cardiovascular risk.

Summary: This study suggests that the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is associated with anthropometric indices and metabolic parameters in Iranian atherosclerosis patients. Patients with atherosclerosis consuming a pro-inflammatory diet showed positive associations with fasting blood sugar, lipid, and liver enzymes measures. However, further prospective and interventional studies are needed to clarify the association between this dietary index and cardiovascular disease risk factors among patients with atherosclerosis.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between anthropometric parameters and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality among diabetic patients. The results showed that arm circumference (AC) and arm-to-waist ratio (AC/WC) were inversely associated with CVD and all-cause mortality among individuals with diabetes. These anthropometric parameters are important for diabetic patients.

Summary: This study aimed to develop age- and gender-specific percentile curves of waist circumference (WC), abdominal circumference (AbC), and gluteal circumference (GC) for Czech children aged 6-11 years. The study found that all parameters increased with age in both boys and girls, with boys generally having higher WC and AbC, but girls having higher GC. This study serves as a valuable reference for evaluating somatic and medical status in Czech children, providing additional tools for screening and evaluating overweight and obese conditions, especially related to abdominal obesity in the pediatric population.

Summary: Inter-individual variation in fat distribution is clinically important but not routinely assessed. This study introduces a deep learning model trained on body silhouette images to accurately estimate specific fat volumes and ratios. The silhouette-based model outperforms traditional models and shows associations between VAT/ASAT ratio and disease risk independent of BMI and waist circumference. This research lays the foundation for scalable population-based assessment of fat distribution.

Summary: Metabolic syndrome is a complex disorder associated with high risks of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This study utilized KNHANES data to investigate neck circumference as a predictor for MetS risk, with findings demonstrating a significant association between neck circumference and MetS risk, suggesting the need for further research for validation.

Summary: This review summarizes common anthropometric methods based on body circumference, including central body indices for predicting cardiometabolic risk and limb circumference measurements for assessing sarcopenia. Additionally, recent developments in optic-based imaging technologies for elucidating changes in body size and shape in European populations over the last decades are discussed.

Summary: This study compared and evaluated the conduction system defects and arrhythmia risk after EVOH-DMSO septal ablation with other non-alcohol agents and alcohol septal ablation. The results showed that although EVOH-DMSO can cause conduction system problems more commonly than other non-alcohol agents, it is less common than alcohol septal ablation.

Summary: Cardiac masses are rare and challenging in clinical diagnosis. They can be detected incidentally or cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, syncope, sudden cardiac death, and mortality. Cardiac masses associated with systemic inflammatory disorders are uncommon. This case report presents a case with an asymptomatic IgG4-related left atrial mass detected during routine echocardiographic control imaging for rheumatic valve disease.

Summary: Secondary infection of the aorta is a life-threatening disease caused by adjacent structure infections. The main cause is a psoas abscess eroding the aortic wall, which rarely results in non-aneurysmal aortic rupture. Surgical aortic reconstruction is the primary treatment, but it carries a high risk. Endovascular aortic stent-graft implantation can be a lifesaving alternative, but durability and late infections require long-term antibiotic treatment and follow-up.
