Evidence is mixed for cardiovascular disease diagnoses and cardiovascular mortality. Although research is limited, anticipated discrimination is an independent risk factor for poor sleep health and subclinical cardiovascular disease. Key methodological limitations included the limited use of gold-standard objective measures of health behaviors and well-validated self-report measures, inadequate consideration of intersectionality, and lack of robust examinations of psychological, behavioral, and physiological mechanisms linking discrimination with cardiovascular health outcomes. There is substantial evidence linking experiences of discrimination with cardiovascular outcomes. Yet, before translating these findings into clinical practice, more rigorous studies are needed to address methodological limitations and uncover mechanisms by which discrimination influences cardiovascular health. There is a need for studies to inform the development of evidence-based interventions focused on reducing the influence of discrimination-related stressors on cardiovascular health outcomes. Findings have important implications for future work to advance cardiovascular health equity.","PeriodicalId":10829,"journal":{"name":"Current Cardiology Reports","volume":"27 1","pages":"48"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143364260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using readily available echocardiographic images for this purpose is feasible, effective and safe. This document highlights the increasing role of VR in procedural planning, education, and intraprocedural guidance using three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE). Key advancements include the development of smaller 3D transthoracic and pediatric transesophageal probes with better temporal resolution, which enable enhanced imaging for preoperative planning. VR allows surgeons to visualize dynamic 3D cardiac models created from echocardiographic or Computed Tomography (CT) data, enabling better pre-surgical rehearsal, device selection, and landing zone visualization. It also provides immersive training tools for echocardiographers and offers potential for intraprocedural guidance in interventions such as atrial septal defect closures. These developments underscore the growing synergy between VR and 3DE for refining diagnosis and procedural strategies.","PeriodicalId":10829,"journal":{"name":"Current Cardiology Reports","volume":"27 1","pages":"47"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143364248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formula for ABSI includes waist circumference, which is not included in the conventional calculation of body mass index (BMI), along with BMI and height. High ABSI is independently associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular events. ABSI with specific cutoff values can be a useful tool for cardiovascular risk stratification by detecting the presence of abdominal obesity and it can be used for evaluation of the risk of cardiovascular events. Nonetheless, other factors such as race, gender, age, and physical, environmental and socioeconomic purviews also need be taken into consideration.","PeriodicalId":10829,"journal":{"name":"Current Cardiology Reports","volume":"27 1","pages":"46"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143188574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explores advancements of AI in predictive modeling, biomarker discovery, and cardiovascular imaging. Finally, considerations for clinical integration of AI into preventive cardiology workflows are reviewed.Recent findings: AI-driven tools, including machine learning (ML) models, have greatly enhanced IHD risk prediction by integrating multimodal data from clinical sources, patient-generated inputs, biomarkers, and imaging. Applications in these various data sources have demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy compared to traditional methods. However, ensuring algorithm fairness, mitigating biases, enhancing explainability, and addressing ethical concerns remain critical for successful deployment. Emerging technologies like federated learning and explainable AI are fostering more robust, scalable, and equitable adoption. AI holds promise in reshaping preventive cardiology workflows, offering more precise risk assessment and personalized care. Addressing barriers related to equity, transparency, and stakeholder engagement is key for seamless clinical integration and sustainable, lasting improvements in cardiovascular care.","PeriodicalId":10829,"journal":{"name":"Current Cardiology Reports","volume":"27 1","pages":"44"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143074138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially believed to be a rare and benign condition for its reversible nature, TTS has recently emerged as a complex multifaceted clinical entity, with heterogenous clinical presentations and a non-negligible risk of serious in-hospital complications, including acute heart failure, arrhythmias and death.Recent findings: Emerging pathophysiological hypotheses, ranging from microvascular dysfunction to systemic inflammation, offer new insights into the underlying mechanisms of TTS. Moreover, increasing awareness of potential complications during the acute phase of the disease underscores its significant prognostic implications and emphasizes the need for randomized clinical trials to guide the therapeutic management of TTS. In this narrative review article, we aim to discuss the recent insights on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, treatment and prognosis of patients affected by TTS discussing the emerging evidence and the remaining knowledge gap in the field.","PeriodicalId":10829,"journal":{"name":"Current Cardiology Reports","volume":"27 1","pages":"39"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143032483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
