Continuous ketone monitoring: Exciting implications for clinical practice.
DIABETES, OBESITY & METABOLISM - 24 Sep 2024
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening complication usually affecting people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and, less commonly, people with type 2 diabetes. Early identification of ketosis is a cornerstone in DKA prevention and management. Current methods for ketone measurement by people with diabetes include capillary blood or urine testing. These approaches have limitations, including ...
Firing properties of single axons with cardiac rhythmicity in the human cervical vagus nerve.
THE JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY - 25 Sep 2024
Microneurographic recordings of the human cervical vagus nerve have revealed the presence of multi-unit neural activity with measurable cardiac rhythmicity. This suggests that the physiology of vagal neurones with cardiovascular regulatory function can be studied using this method. Here, the activity of cardiac rhythmic single units was discriminated from human cervical vagus nerve recordings u...
Decorin, an exercise-induced secretory protein, is associated with improved prognosis in breast cancer patients but does not mediate anti-tumorigenic tissue crosstalk in mice.
JOURNAL OF SPORT AND HEALTH SCIENCE - 26 Sep 2024
Regular exercise can reduce incidence and progression of breast cancer, but the mechanisms for such effects are not fully understood. We used a variety of rodent and human experimental model systems to determine whether exercise training can reduce tumor burden in breast cancer and to identify mechanism associated with any exercise training effects on tumor burden. We show that voluntary wheel ...
Cost-effectiveness of a novel AI technology to quantify coronary inflammation and cardiovascular risk in patients undergoing routine Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography.
EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. QUALITY OF CARE & CLINICAL OUTCOMES - 28 Sep 2024
Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) is a first line investigation for chest pain in patients with suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). However, many acute cardiac events occur in the absence of obstructive CAD. We assessed the lifetime cost-effectiveness of integrating a novel artificial intelligence-enhanced image analysis algorithm (AI-Risk) that stratifies the ris...
Cardiac Function and Functional Capacity in Patients with Long COVID: a Comparison to Propensity-Matched Community Controls.
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY - 17 Sep 2024
Cardiac impairment has been associated with acute COVID-19 since the earliest reports of the pandemic. However, its role in post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC, or "long COVID") is undefined, and many existing observations about cardiovascular involvement in PASC are uncontrolled. To compare the prevalence of cardiac dysfunction in patients with Long COVID, and non-infected controls from the ...
The quest for the holy grail in antithrombotic therapy: revitalized hope for platelet GPVI as a safe and effective antithrombotic target.
EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL - 20 Sep 2024
The islet tissue plasminogen activator/plasmin system is upregulated with human islet amyloid polypeptide aggregation and protects beta cells from aggregation-induced toxicity.
DIABETOLOGIA - 09 Sep 2024
Apart from its fibrinolytic activity, the tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)/plasmin system has been reported to cleave the peptide amyloid beta, attenuating brain amyloid deposition in Alzheimer's disease. As aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) is toxic to beta cells, we sought to determine whether activation of the fibrinolytic system can also reduce islet amyloid depositio...
The association of glycaemic risk factors and diabetes duration with risk of heart failure in people with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
DIABETES, OBESITY & METABOLISM - 13 Sep 2024
To conduct a systematic review in order to better understand the association of glycaemic risk factors and diabetes duration with risk of heart failure (HF) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We identified longitudinal studies investigating the association of glycaemic factors (glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c], HbA1c variability, and hypoglycaemia) and diabetes duration with HF in individua...
Recent trends and disparities in 24-hour movement behaviors among US youth with mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental conditions.
JOURNAL OF AFFECTIVE DISORDERS - 01 Sep 2024
Meeting 24-h movement behaviors (24-HMB: physical activity [PA], screen time [ST], and sleep [SL]) recommendations may be associated with positive health outcomes among youth with specific mental, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental (MBD) conditions. However, temporal trends and disparities in meeting 24-HMB guidelines in these higher-risk groups have not been investigated, hampering the develop...

Influence of angiotensin II on the gut microbiome: modest effects in comparison to experimental factors.
CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH - 02 Sep 2024
Animal models are regularly used to test the role of the gut microbiome in hypertension. Small-scale pre-clinical studies have investigated changes to the gut microbiome in the angiotensin II hypertensive model. However, the gut microbiome is influenced by internal and external experimental factors, which are not regularly considered in the study design. Once these factors are accounted for, it...

HEART, LUNG & CIRCULATION - 06 Sep 2024
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is highly prevalent in the Australian community, ranking amongst the highest globally. The consequences of AF are significant. Stroke, dementia and heart failure risk are increased substantially, hospitalisations are amongst the highest for all cardiovascular causes, and Australians living with AF suffer from substantial symptoms that impact quality of life. Australian ...
Strain surveillance during chemotherapy to improve cardiovascular outcomes: the SUCCOUR-MRI trial.
EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL - 01 Sep 2024
The detection of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) by reduction of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during chemotherapy usually triggers the initiation of cardioprotective therapy. This study addressed whether the same approach should be applied to patients with worsening of global longitudinal strain (GLS) without attaining thresholds of LVEF. Strain sUrveillance duri...
Lipidomic Risk Score to Enhance Cardiovascular Risk Stratification for Primary Prevention
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY - 22 Jul 2024
Background
Accurate risk stratification is vital for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, traditional tools such as the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) may underperform within the diverse intermediate-risk group, which includes individuals requiring distinct management strategies.
Objectives
This study aimed to develop a lipidomic-enhanced risk score (LRS), specifically tar...
General and abdominal adiposity and hypertension in eight world regions: a pooled analysis of 837 population-based studies with 7·5 million participants.
LANCET (LONDON, ENGLAND) - 31 Aug 2024
Adiposity can be measured using BMI (which is based on weight and height) as well as indices of abdominal adiposity. We examined the association between BMI and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) within and across populations of different world regions and quantified how well these two metrics discriminate between people with and without hypertension. We used data from studies carried out from 1990 t...
Diagnosis to Ablation in Persistent AF: Any Time Can Be a Good Time to Ablate.
JACC. CLINICAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY - 01 Jul 2024
Nonrandomized data suggest that longer diagnosis-to-ablation time (DAT) is associated with poorer outcomes; however, a recent randomized trial found no difference in recurrences when ablation was delayed by 12 months. This study sought to assess the impact of DAT on atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in patients undergoing catheter ablation for persistent AF. CAPLA (Effect of Catheter Ablation...
Predictors of Late Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Cardiac Surgery.
JACC. CLINICAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY - 01 Jul 2024
Although postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) frequently occurs early after cardiac surgery, there is a paucity of data evaluating predictors and timing of late atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. The authors sought to evaluate predictors of late AF recurrence in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We retrospectively reviewed cardiac surgery patients from 2010 to 2018 with no preoperative...
