Warning symptoms associated with imminent sudden #cardiac arrest: a population-based case-control study with external validation

aledopress

BackgroundSudden cardiac arrest is a global public health problem with a mortality rate of more than 90%. Prearrest warning symptoms could be harnessed using digital technology to potentially improve survival outcomes. We aimed to estimate the strength of association between symptoms and imminent sudden cardiac arrest.MethodsWe conducted a case-control study of individuals with sudden cardiac… Continue reading Warning symptoms associated with imminent sudden #cardiac arrest: a population-based case-control study with external validation

Identification of astroglia-like cardiac nexus glia that are critical regulators of cardiac development and function

aledopress

Glial cells are essential for functionality of the nervous system. Growing evidence underscores the importance of astrocytes; however, analogous astroglia in peripheral organs are poorly understood. Using confocal time-lapse imaging, fate mapping, and mutant genesis in a zebrafish model, we identify a neural crest–derived glial cell, termed nexus glia, which utilizes Meteorin signaling via Jak/Stat3… Continue reading Identification of astroglia-like cardiac nexus glia that are critical regulators of cardiac development and function

Compensatory ion transport buffers daily protein #rhythms to regulate osmotic balance and cellular physiology

aledopress

Between 6–20% of the cellular proteome is under circadian control and tunes mammalian cell function with daily environmental cycles. For cell viability, and to maintain volume within narrow limits, the daily variation in osmotic potential exerted by changes in the soluble proteome must be counterbalanced. The mechanisms and consequences of this osmotic compensation have not… Continue reading Compensatory ion transport buffers daily protein #rhythms to regulate osmotic balance and cellular physiology

A Meta-Analysis on the Global Prevalence, Risk factors and Screening of Coronary #Heart Disease in Non-alcoholic #Fatty Liver Disease

aledopress

Background and AimsCardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Studies examining the association of coronary heart disease (CHD) and NAFLD are cofounded by various cardiometabolic factors particularly diabetes and body mass index. Hence, we seek to explore such association by investigating the global prevalence, independent risk… Continue reading A Meta-Analysis on the Global Prevalence, Risk factors and Screening of Coronary #Heart Disease in Non-alcoholic #Fatty Liver Disease

Prognostic and Practical Validation of ESC/EACTS High #Ischemic Risk Definition on Long-Term Thrombotic and Bleeding Events in Contemporary #PCI Patients

aledopress

The ESC/EACTS myocardial revascularization guidelines recently standardized the definition of patients at high ischemic risk (HIR). However, the ability of ESC/EACTS-HIR criteria to stratify ischemic and bleeding risk in a contemporary real-world East Asian cohort remains unexplored. Methods: A total of 10,167 consecutive patients undergoing PCI from prospective Fuwai PCI Registry (January 2013 to December… Continue reading Prognostic and Practical Validation of ESC/EACTS High #Ischemic Risk Definition on Long-Term Thrombotic and Bleeding Events in Contemporary #PCI Patients

#Coronary heart disease in mothers and fathers of adult children with #alcohol use disorders

aledopress

Having a family member with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) may negatively affect a person’s health. Our aim was to study the long-term risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in parents who have an offspring with AUD. DesignCohort study. Cox regression models and co-sibling analyses. SettingSweden. ParticipantsFrom population registers, we selected all parent-offspring pairs in… Continue reading #Coronary heart disease in mothers and fathers of adult children with #alcohol use disorders

Associations of #cognitive performance with #cardiovascular magnetic resonance phenotypes in the UK Biobank

aledopress

Existing evidence suggests links between brain and cardiovascular health. We investigated associations between cognitive performance and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) phenotypes in the UK Biobank, considering a range of potential confounders. Methods and resultsWe studied 29 763 participants with CMR and cognitive testing, specifically, fluid intelligence (FI, 13 verbal-numeric reasoning questions), and reaction time (RT, a… Continue reading Associations of #cognitive performance with #cardiovascular magnetic resonance phenotypes in the UK Biobank
