Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant global health priority, affecting approximately 844 million adults (10% of the world population). 1 Beyond its implication for kidney health, CKD is inherently linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. 2 The interplay between CKD and CVD is well documented, with mechanisms including shared risk factors, metabolic disturbances and systemic inflammation. 2 Albuminuria, a ma

A transient ischemic attack, also known as a mini-stroke, is typically defined as a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain that causes symptoms that go away within a day, but a new study finds that people who have this type of stroke may also have prolonged fatigue lasting up to one year.

Introduction Cardiac MRI (CMRI) is an important investigation in cases of unclear cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It demonstrates diagnostic utility in assessing reversibility and tissue scar burden and ultimately aids in further treatment planning. Methods A retrospective analysis of all adult patients referred for CMRI after SCA between 2007 and 2022 by local intensive care units in our institution was performed.

Background The upper reference limit of normal (ULN) of cardiac troponin (cTn) for older adults can be higher than for young adults, while the same ULN is used for both older and young adults in the current clinical practice. Methods In this multicentre longitudinal cohort study, non-acute myocardial infarction (non-AMI) inpatients with at least two cTn concentrations hospitalised between 2013 and 2022 in the Tianjin Health and Medical Data Platform were included.

Women who experience infertility are more likely to develop heart and blood vessel conditions later in life, with younger women and those who undergo fertility treatments at a greater risk. The findings, presented at the first Joint Congress between the European Society of Pediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) and the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE), highlight the importance of considering a woman's reproductive history when assessing her long-term heart health.

Background The impact of early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) on cardiovascular outcomes, particularly when albuminuria is present, remains unclear. This study examined the associations between early CKD (stages 1 and 2) with and without albuminuria and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), heart failure (HF) and all-cause mortality.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) typically manifests in the first weeks of life. We report a 28-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation and pulmonary hypertension which were later found to be associated with ALCAPA syndrome. Despite a history free of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, her symptoms included exercise intolerance, palpitations, and an ischemic stroke.
