Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death globally, posing a serious threat to human health. However, the current treatment approaches available for CHD fall short of the ideal results. Tongxinluo (TXL) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been employed in the clinical treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (such as angina pectoris, stroke, etc.) in China for many years and holds great potential as a prospective treatment. TXL either as a standalone treatment or in combination with interventions recommended in CHD guidelines has been shown to be effective and well tolerated in clinical trials for CHD...

China's carbon-neutral target could have benefits for ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5 )-associated mortality. Although previous studies have researched such benefits, the potential impact on cardiovascular disease incidence burden is yet to be investigated thoroughly. Here, we first estimate the association between short-term PM2.5 exposure and the incidence of stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) via a case-crossover study before projecting future changes in short-term PM2.5 -associated excess incidence across China from 2025 to 2060 under three different emission scenarios...

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Recently, increasing evidence has demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, aortic dissection, and more. LncRNA H19 was the first to be described as a non-protein-coding mRNA-like molecule. A large number of studies have found that lncRNA H19 is related to the pathophysiological processes of cardiovascular diseases, and it is emerging as a potential key regulator of various heart diseases...

BACKGROUND: Transradial access (TRA) is accepted as the safest route for coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention. Radial artery stenosis (RAS) prevents use of the radial artery in various clinical situations, even in cases without hand ischemia. In this context, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between the amount of air supplied to the radial artery compression device [transradial (TR) band] and RAS. METHODS: The population in this single-center retrospective study consisted of patients who underwent CAG via TRA under elective conditions between March 1st , 2020 and May 1st , 2022...

OBJECTIVES: The transradial route is used in most coronary procedures today. Although this method seems to be advantageous in terms of bleeding complications and patient comfort, the small radial artery diameter brings with it complications such as radial artery spasm and occlusion. It has been demonstrated in previous studies that subcutaneous nitrate administration dilates the radial artery. The Glidesheath Slender, which has a thinner outer wall than conventional sheaths, is another method that has been shown to reduce complications by reducing friction on the radial artery wall...

Endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) are progenitors of endothelial cells with significant proliferative and angiogenic ability. ECFCs are a promising treatment option for various diseases, such as ischemic heart disease and peripheral artery disease. However, some barriers hinder the clinical application of ECFC therapeutics. One of the current obstacles is that ECFCs are dysfunctional due to the underlying disease states. ECFCs exhibit dysfunctional phenotypes in pathologic states, which include but are not limited to the following: premature neonates and pregnancy-related diseases, diabetes mellitus, cancers, haematological system diseases, hypoxia, pulmonary arterial hypertension, coronary artery diseases, and other vascular diseases...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: People with HIV (PWH) whose disease is controlled on anti-retroviral regimens remain at an increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). Traditional cardiovascular risk factors do not fully explain the residual risk in PWH suggesting contributions from nontraditional factors. Homocysteine (Hcy) may be one of these as prior work in adults without HIV demonstrate that Hcy may impair endothelial function by decreasing the availability of nitric oxide, promoting the development of atherosclerosis...

BACKGROUND: There are many percutaneous coronary approaches. The most commonly used one is the radial artery because of its lowest risk of adverse vascular events. However, it could not be an option in some situations as congenital radial artery hypoplasia and spasm. In these cases, the second most common access is the femoral artery. The current literature over the brachial artery access is controversial. Thus, the aim of this study was to verify the brachial artery approach's effectiveness and safety...

BACKGROUND: Bleeding and thrombotic complications compromise outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (pMCS) with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and/or microaxial flow pumps like the Impella™. Antithrombotic practices are an important determinant of the coagulopathic risk, but standardization in the antithrombotic management during pMCS is lacking. This survey outlines European practices in antithrombotic management in adults on pMCS, making an initial effort to standardize practices, inform future trials, and enhance outcomes...

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a strong and independent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, manual assessment of CAC often requires radiological expertise, time, and invasive imaging techniques. The purpose of this multicenter study is to validate an automated cardiac plaque detection model using a 3D multiclass nnU-Net for gated and non-gated non-contrast chest CT volumes. CT scans were performed at three tertiary care hospitals and collected as three datasets, respectively. Heart, aorta, and lung segmentations were determined using TotalSegmentator, while plaques in the coronary arteries and heart valves were manually labeled for 801 volumes...
