Little is known about intakes of macronutrients and food groups, particularly carbohydrate (CHO) quality and fibre-rich foods, relative to cardiac phenotypes. Therefore, the association between CHO quality and cardiac phenotypes was examined in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study.METHODSTrained interviewers conducted the CARDIA Diet History to gather dietary intake at exam years 0, 7, and 20. Cardiac phenotype measures were collected at exam years 25 and 30 via echocardiography. Linear mixed effects regression models were used to evaluate the association of CHO quality and fibre-rich food score averaged across years 0, 7, and 20 with cardiac phenotype measures at years 25 and 30.RESULTSAmong the 3171 CARDIA participants, quartiles of CHO quality (defined using CHO:fibre ratio) were favourably associated with left ventricular (LV) mass index (Ptrend < .001) and global longitudinal strain (Ptrend < .001) after adjusting for demographic and lifestyle factors. Similarly, quartiles of fibre-rich food score (created based on daily intakes of whole grains, fruit, vegetables, nuts, and legumes) were favourably associated with LV mass index (Ptrend < .001), LV ejection fraction (Ptrend = .008), global longitudinal strain (Ptrend < .001), E/e' ratio (Ptrend = .02), and left atrial volume index (Ptrend = .02). Cardiac phenotype effect sizes between 10% and 26% of their respective standard deviations.CONCLUSIONSHigher quality of CHO and intake of fibre-rich foods were favourably associated with LV structure and function.","PeriodicalId":11976,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144578668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have suggested that serine carboxypeptidase 1 (Scpep1) is involved in vascular diseases; however, its role in cardiac diseases remains unclear. This study aims to explore the role of Scpep1 in regulating cardiac homeostasis during MI.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The impact of Scpep1 deficiency or cardiac-specific knock-down and Scpep1 overexpression on heart function was evaluated in mice with MI.

Genetic ablation or cardiac-specific knock-down of Scpep1 alleviated MI-induced cardiac dysfunction and damage in mice. In contrast, cardiac-specific Scpep1 overexpression aggravated these adverse effects. Mechanistically, Scpep1 exacerbated MI-induced cardiac dysfunction and damage by impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics via binding to Pex3 to promote its degradation, ultimately contributing to mitochondrial fission and apoptosis. Moreover, the expressional profiles of Scpep1 in plasma samples and heart tissues of patients with MI or ischaemic cardiomyopathy were in line with those observed in the mouse models. In addition, pharmaceutical inhibition of Scpep1 notably improved MI-induced cardiac dysfunction and damage by improving mitochondrial fragmentation and bioenergetics post-MI.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Scpep1 deficiency mitigates MI by improving Pex3-mediated mitochondrial fission and subsequent cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
