Summary: Multi-omic profiling of patients with coronary artery disease reveals links between alterations in the serum metabolome with genetics, diet, and the microbiome. The study found that these metabolomic alterations are associated with metabolic impairment preceding clinically overt coronary artery disease. The results highlight the importance of understanding risk-factor heterogeneity in coronary artery disease through the serum metabolome.

Summary: Increased long-term intake of lignans was significantly associated with a lower risk of total CHD in both men and women. The inverse associations were more apparent among participants with higher total lignan intake, and lignan intake was more strongly associated with plasma concentrations of enterolactone when fiber intake was higher.

Summary: The risk of subsequent cerebrovascular disease among cancer patients of multiple cancers in the US is not well understood. Certain cancer sites, race, marital status, metastasis, age, and time of cancer diagnosis are associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease. More precise and proactive strategies for cerebrovascular disease prevention are needed for cancer patients with a higher risk, especially within the first two months.

Summary: Higher levels of lipoprotein(a) are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease events in both Black and White adults with ASCVD, but not with ischemic stroke events.

Summary: The study found that cumulative blood pressure in young adults is associated with the risk of heart failure, coronary heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases. Cumulative blood pressure provides incremental prognostic value and improves risk reclassification for cardiovascular diseases when compared to single blood pressure assessments or changes in blood pressure.

Summary: The study found that increased high-frequency hearing loss was associated with a dose-response relationship with elevated risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, while the association with coronary heart disease and speech-frequency hearing loss was not significant.

Summary: This study aims to explore the distribution differences of common risk factors between coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke in China. The study found substantial differences in the distribution of risk factors for CHD and stroke, indicating the need for specific prevention and control measures based on these differences.

Summary: The study found that social isolation has little direct effect on the risk of developing a first coronary heart disease or stroke event. However, social isolation substantially increases the risk that the first event is fatal before reaching the hospital, particularly among people who live alone.

Summary: This study found a significant association between the level of depression and increased risk of CHD, stroke, and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. The risk of these outcomes also increased with the severity of depression.

Summary: Recent current cannabis use is associated with lower resting heart rate, but this association appears to be transient as past cumulative exposure to cannabis was not related to heart rate.

Summary: This study found that, compared to warfarin, the use of NOACs in patients with atrial fibrillation and aortic stenosis may increase the risk of thromboembolism but decrease the risk of major bleeding, based on observational data.Confirmation of these findings in large randomized trials in this patient population is warranted.

Summary: Fibrinogen levels may be a potential risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) but not for stroke. Further research is needed to clarify the differences in the role of fibrinogen levels on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) between Asian and Western countries.

Summary: This study aims to explore whether Apple Watch, used as a long-term monitoring device, is effective in the early diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the prevention of cognitive function decline in older adults. By using AI-ECG to screen high-risk patients and record electrocardiograms, the effectiveness of Apple Watch will be evaluated. If successful, this approach could have significant implications on how future clinical practice leverages consumer devices for early diagnosis and disease prevention.
