Summary: There is an increased occurrence of cardiovascular diseases in women within 1 to 2 decades after a preeclamptic pregnancy. Recent evidence suggests that the abnormal biochemical and echocardiographic findings in preeclamptic women do not resolve after giving birth. Many women remain hypertensive in the immediate postnatal period, with some showing signs of cardiac dysfunction. Close monitoring and effective blood pressure control in the immediate postnatal period may lead to persistently lower blood pressures in women years after stopping medication. This review emphasizes the importance of delivering effective medical care in the fourth trimester of pregnancy to improve long-term cardiovascular health after a preeclamptic birth.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a prediction model for identifying the development of hypertension within 10 years following pre-eclampsia in women who were initially normotensive. The model, based on five variables, demonstrated good-to-excellent discriminative ability, with high sensitivity and specificity for predicting hypertension.

Summary: Pre-eclampsia increases women's risk of cardiovascular disease, especially within a decade after delivery and for women aged 30-39 years. A history of pre-eclampsia can be used to identify women at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and targeted interventions should be initiated soon after delivery.

Summary: This study compared echocardiographic findings before and after delivery in women with HDP, and found that hemodynamic changes related to delivery did not significantly influence TTE indices. Suboptimal echocardiographic findings in HDP patients may be due to chronic pregnancy cardiovascular load changes or pre-existing maternal cardiovascular impairment.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the changes in cardiovascular risk factors before pregnancy in women who develop pre-eclampsia and those who do not. The results showed that women who developed pre-eclampsia had abnormal values in multiple indicators before pregnancy, and these abnormalities worsened over the years before pregnancy.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between interpersonal violence (including childhood abuse, adult abuse, and intimate partner violence) and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in women. The results showed that childhood abuse, particularly sexual abuse, was associated with an increased risk of CVD in women. Intimate partner violence was also associated with CVD risk, with higher systolic blood pressure among IPV-exposed women being important in these associations.

Summary: The application of massively parallel sequencing data has increased the detection of Y-SNP haplotypes and the challenge lies in providing a clear phylogenetic tree. Y-SNP Haplogroup Hierarchy Finder is a web-based tool that generates hierarchical haplotypes based on Y-SNP data. Its advantage lies in its simplicity in assigning Y-SNP haplotypes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the frequency and clinical implications of sCr increase following SGLT2i treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes. The results showed that a modest increase in sCr (<30%) was common and not associated with worse clinical outcomes, indicating that therapy should not be prematurely stopped.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of revascularization on long-term survival and renal outcome in NSTEMI patients with severe CKD. The results showed that revascularization was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality in severe CKD patients, but it increased the risk of progression to chronic hemodialysis in non-dialysis-dependent patients.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether background medications modify the effects of SGLT2 inhibitor on eGFR and kidney outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. The results showed that background use of renin-angiotensin inhibitor and loop diuretics was associated with a larger initial decline in eGFR, while background use of metformin was associated with a smaller initial decline in eGFR. Except for renin-angiotensin system inhibitor with favorable outcomes and loop diuretics with worse composite kidney outcomes, most medications were not associated with long-term kidney outcomes in patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitor.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of direct acting antiviral (DAA) treatment on HCV-associated cardiovascular events. The results showed that patients treated with DAA had significantly lower rates of heart failure, venous thromboembolism, major adverse cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality. The reduction of venous thromboembolism was the most significant impact of DAA treatment among the cardiovascular outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the risk of cardiac dysfunction in prostate cancer patients undergoing ADT. The study found that patients undergoing ADT had a decline in LVEF, and lower baseline LVEF was significantly associated with CT-RCD.

Summary: This study investigated the association between post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia (PORH) and ovarian stimulation in normoandrogenic women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The results showed that the PCOS group had higher levels of C-reactive protein and insulin resistance. There was no significant difference in microcirculatory function between the groups at baseline, but after ovarian stimulation, the control group showed enhanced PORH while the PCOS group exhibited a blunting response. This suggests that normoandrogenic women with PCOS undergoing IVF may experience early changes in vascular endothelial dysfunction. Further observational studies are needed to determine if PORH measurement can predict IVF prognosis or obstetric complications.

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.

The results showed that the younger, female, non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic individuals with a high burden of co-morbidities and unfavorable social determinants of health had the highest risk of mortality in the identified latent classes.
