Major cardiovascular diseases and phenomena such as infective endocarditis, congestive heart failure, Kawasaki disease and thromboembolism are associated with specific skin findings, and advances in genetics, immunology and clinical epidemiology show that inflammatory dermatological diseases, such as psoriasis, have serious cardiovascular and cardiometabolic consequences. Additionally, commonly used cardiovascular therapies, such as antihypertensive medications, are associated with important cutaneous adverse effects, including photosensitivity, photocarcinogenesis and eczematous skin reactions. Moreover, systemic dermatological therapies, including retinoids, Janus kinase inhibitors and biologics, can alter the risk of cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases. In this Review on cardiodermatology, we provide interdisciplinary insights from dermatology and cardiology that will be of practical use to both cardiologists and generalists who manage cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases in patients with dermatological findings or histories.

However, vein graft failure rates of 40–50% within 10 years of the implantation lead to poor long-term outcomes after bypass surgery. Currently, only a few therapeutic approaches for vein graft disease have been successfully translated into clinical practice. Building on the past two decades of advanced understanding of vein graft biology and the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying vein graft disease, nanomedicine-based strategies offer promising opportunities to address this important unmet clinical need. In this Review, we provide deep insight into the latest developments in the rational design and applications of nanoparticles that have the potential to target specific cells during various pathophysiological stages of vein graft disease, including early endothelial dysfunction, intermediate intimal hyperplasia and late-stage accelerated atherosclerosis. Additionally, we underscore the convergence of nanofabricated biomaterials, with a particular focus on hydrogels, external graft support devices and cell-based therapies, alongside bypass surgery to improve local delivery efficiency and therapeutic efficacy. Finally, we provide a specific discussion on the considerations, challenges and novel perspectives for the future clinical translation of nanomedicine for the treatment of vein graft disease. In this Review, Tao and colleagues discuss the design and applications of nanoparticles and nanofabricated biomaterials, such as hydrogels, external graft support devices and cell-based therapies, for the treatment of vein graft disease and highlight the potential of using these nanofabricated biomaterials alongside bypass surgery to improve local delivery efficiency and therapeutic efficacy.","PeriodicalId":18976,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Cardiology","volume":"22 4","pages":"255-272"},"PeriodicalIF":41.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142580063","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}

In this Review, we discuss the motivations and frameworks for sustainable cardiovascular care with an emphasis on the reduction of the climate-related and environmental effects of cardiovascular care. We also provide an overview of greenhouse gas emissions related to the provision of health care, including their measurement and quantification, carbon accounting, carbon disclosures and climate effects. The principles of life-cycle assessment, waste prevention and circular economics in health care are discussed, and the emissions associated with various sectors of cardiovascular care as well as the rationale for prevention as a powerful approach to reduce these emissions are presented.

Atrial fibrosis can be both a cause and a consequence of AF and, once present, it accelerates the progression of AF. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to atrial fibrosis are diverse and include stretch-induced activation of fibroblasts, systemic inflammatory processes, activation of coagulation factors and fibrofatty infiltrations. Importantly, atrial fibrosis can occur in different forms, such as reactive and replacement fibrosis. The diversity of atrial fibrosis mechanisms and patterns depends on sex, age and comorbidity profile, hampering the development of therapeutic strategies. In addition, the presence and severity of comorbidities often change over time, potentially causing temporal changes in the mechanisms underlying atrial fibrosis development. This Review summarizes the latest knowledge on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of atrial fibrosis, its association with comorbidities and the sex-related differences. We describe how the various patterns of atrial fibrosis translate into electrophysiological mechanisms that promote AF, and critically appraise the clinical applicability and limitations of diagnostic tools to quantify atrial fibrosis. Finally, we provide an overview of the newest therapeutic interventions under development and discuss relevant knowledge gaps related to the association between clinical manifestations and pathological mechanisms of atrial fibrosis and to the translation of this knowledge to a clinical setting. In this Review, Schotten and colleagues summarize the latest knowledge on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of atrial fibrosis, describe the electrophysiological manifestations of atrial fibrosis, critically appraise the diagnostic tools to quantify atrial fibrosis, discuss emerging therapeutic interventions, and highlight knowledge gaps and future research directions.","PeriodicalId":18976,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Cardiology","volume":"22 4","pages":"225-240"},"PeriodicalIF":41.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142487832","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}
