Environmental Exposures and Pediatric Cardiology: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Circulation. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000001234. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnvironmental toxicants and pollutants are causes of adverse health consequences, including well-established associations between environmental exposures and cardiovascular diseases. Environmental degradation is widely prevalent and has a long latency period between exposure and health outcome, potentially placing a large number of individuals at risk of these health consequences. Emerging evidence suggests that environmental exposures in early life may be key risk factors for cardiovascular conditions across the life span. Children ...

Positive Vasoreactivity Testing in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Therapeutic Consequences, Treatment Patterns, and Outcomes in the Modern Management Era
CONCLUSIONS: Our data display heterogeneity within the group of vasoresponders, with a large subset failing to show a sustained satisfactory clinical response to CCBs. This highlights the necessity for comprehensive reassessment during early follow-up. The use of pulmonary artery compliance in addition to current measures may better identify those likely to have a good long-term response.PMID:38606558 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.063821 (Source: Circulation)

Patient-Centered Adult Cardiovascular Care: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
The objective of this scientific statement is to inform health care professionals and stakeholders about the role and impact of patient-centered care in adult cardiovascular medicine. This scientific statement describes the background and rationale for patient-centered care in cardiovascular medicine, provides insight into patient-oriented medication management and patient-reported outcome measures, highlights opportunities and strategies to overcome challenges in patient-centered care, and outlines knowledge gaps and future directions.PMID:38602110 | DOI:10.1161/CIR.0000000000001233 (Source: Circulation)

Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia Treated With Revascularization
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia deemed eligible for either Bypass or Endo, revascularization resulted in significant and clinically meaningful improvements in HRQoL. In patients with an available single-segment great saphenous vein for bypass, but not among those without one, Endo was statistically superior on some HRQoL measures; however, these differences were below the threshold of clinically meaningful difference.PMID:38597097 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.065277 (Source: Circulation)

Asparagine Synthetase Marks a Distinct Dependency Threshold for Cardiomyocyte Dedifferentiation
CONCLUSIONS: We discovered a novel gene Asns as both a molecular marker and an essential mediator, marking a distinct threshold that appears in common for at least 4 models of CMDD, and revealing an Asns/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 axis dependency for dedifferentiating cardiomyocytes. Further study will be needed to extrapolate and assess its relevance to other cell state transitions as well as in heart regeneration.PMID:38586957 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.063965 (Source: Circulation)

Effect of Alcohol-Mediated Renal Denervation on Blood Pressure in the Presence of Antihypertensive Medications: Primary Results from the TARGET BP I Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Alcohol-mediated RDN was associated with a modest but statistically significant reduction in 24-hour ambulatory systolic BP compared with sham control. No significant differences between groups in office BP or 6-month major adverse events were observed.PMID:38587557 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.124.069291 (Source: Circulation)
