Current treatments often fall short of preventing AF and its adverse outcomes. Accumulating evidence suggests that metabolic disturbances can promote the development of AF through structural and electrophysiological remodelling, but the underlying mechanisms that predispose an individual to AF are aetiology-dependent, thus emphasizing the need for tailored therapeutic strategies to treat AF that target an individual’s metabolic profile. AF itself can induce changes in glucose, lipid and ketone metabolism, mitochondrial function and myofibrillar energetics (as part of a process referred to as ‘metabolic remodelling’), which can all contribute to atrial dysfunction. In this Review, we discuss our current understanding of AF in the setting of metabolic disorders, as well as changes in atrial metabolism that are relevant to the development of AF. We also describe the potential of available and emerging treatment strategies to target metabolic remodelling in the setting of AF and highlight key questions and challenges that need to be addressed to improve outcomes in these patients. In this Review, the authors describe the changes in metabolism that predispose individuals to developing atrial fibrillation (AF) and highlight the potential of available and emerging therapeutic strategies that target metabolic remodelling to treat AF.","PeriodicalId":18976,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Cardiology","volume":"21 10","pages":"682-700"},"PeriodicalIF":41.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141179443","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}

One of the increasingly recognized drivers of atherosclerosis is dysfunctional efferocytosis, a homeostatic mechanism responsible for the clearance of dead cells and the resolution of inflammation. In atherosclerosis, the capacity of phagocytes to participate in efferocytosis is hampered, leading to the accumulation of apoptotic and necrotic tissue within the plaque, which results in enlargement of the necrotic core, increased luminal stenosis and plaque inflammation, and predisposition to plaque rupture or erosion. In this Review, we describe the different forms of programmed cell death that can occur in the atherosclerotic plaque and highlight the efferocytic machinery that is normally implicated in cardiovascular physiology. We then discuss the mechanisms by which efferocytosis fails in atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases, including myocardial infarction and diabetes mellitus, and discuss therapeutic approaches that might reverse this pathological process. In this Review, Adkar and Leeper describe the mechanisms of programmed cell death and efferocytosis, discuss how efferocytosis becomes impaired in atherosclerosis and other cardiometabolic diseases, and suggest potential strategies to target these pathways for the treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.","PeriodicalId":18976,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Cardiology","volume":"21 11","pages":"762-779"},"PeriodicalIF":41.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41569-024-01037-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140925028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Just as Lincoff and Topol argued that reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction was facing unresolved obstacles that hampered clinical success in 1993, we propose that challenging issues are similarly jeopardizing the potential benefits of stent-based angioplasty today. By analysing the appropriateness and efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), we emphasize the limitations of relying solely on visual angiographic guidance, which frequently leads to inappropriate stenting and overtreatment in up to one-third of patients and the associated increased risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction. The lack of optimal revascularization observed in half of patients undergoing PCI confers risks such as suboptimal physiology after PCI, residual angina and long-term stent-related events, leaving an estimated 76% of patients with an ‘illusion of revascularization’. These outcomes highlight the need to refine our diagnostic tools by integrating physiological assessments with targeted intracoronary imaging and emerging strategies, such as co-registration systems and angiography-based computational methods enhanced by artificial intelligence, to achieve optimal revascularization outcomes. In 1993, Lincoff and Topol claimed that the thrombolytic treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was suboptimal in many patients and gave an ‘illusion of reperfusion’. In this Perspective article, the authors propose that a similar illusion of revascularization exists for contemporary percutaneous revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease and ischaemia, and identify how outcomes might be improved.","PeriodicalId":18976,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Cardiology","volume":"21 9","pages":"652-662"},"PeriodicalIF":41.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140845335","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}
