Patients at high or very high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) were recruited from 1 785 medical institutions across China between September 2022 and November 2024. Clinical data, including age, gender, and lipid profiles, were collected. We described the utilization status of lipid-lowering therapy and identified factors associated with the intensity of lipid-lowering therapy using multivariate logistic regression analysis. <b>Results:</b> A total of 189 674 ASCVD patients were included in the final analysis (153 066 high-risk (80.7%); 36 608 very high-risk (19.3%)).

Core metrics for ACM in China-including prevalent cases, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)-were extracted. The absolute numbers, rates (per 100 000 population), and variation characteristics of the above mentioned disease burden parameters were analyzed by stratification according to age and gender. The Joinpoint regression model was employed to calculate the estimated annual percentage change and average annual percentage change for analyzing the segmented trends of disease burden. Decomposition analyses were conducted to attribute the changes in disease burden to three independent factors: population growth, population aging, and changes in epidemiological rates, so as to quantify the absolute contribution value and relative contribution ratio of each factor to the changes in disease burden. <b>Results:</b> In 2021, the number of prevalent cases of ACM in China was 28 103 (95% uncertainty interval (<i>UI</i>) 22 175-34 991), the number of deaths was 1 861 (95%<i>UI</i> 318-2 987), and the DALYs reached 64 746 person-years (95%<i>UI</i> 12 595-102 876 person-years). The corresponding rates were 1.98 (95%<i>UI</i> 1.56-2.46), 0.13 (95%<i>UI</i> 0.02-0.21), and 4.55 (95%<i>UI</i> 0.89-7.23) per 100 000 population, respectively. The prevalence of ACM in China in 2021 was 4.1-fold of that in 1990, while the mortality and DALYs rates were 3.3-fold and 2.8-fold of those in 1990, respectively. From 1990 to 2021, the average annual percentage change of prevalence, mortality, and DALY rate of ACM were 4.96% (95% confidence interval (<i>CI</i>) 4.67%-5.25%), 3.94% (95%<i>CI</i> 3.63%-4.24%), and 3.65% (95%<i>CI</i> 3.36%-3.93%), respectively, showing an overall trend of initial increase followed by stabilization. Specifically, the annual percentage change peaked at 15.73% (95%<i>CI</i> 14.51%-16.96%) for prevalence during 2000-2004, 8.42% (95%<i>CI</i> 7.89%-8.96%) for mortality during 2004-2011, and 9.80% (95%<i>CI</i> 8.72%-10.89%) for DALYs during 2005-2009. The disease burden exhibited an inverted U-shaped distribution with age. The peaks of case number and prevalence emerged in the 45-54 years age group, whereas the peaks of death number and DALYs occurred in the 50-59 years age group. Across all age groups under 90 years, males bore a higher burden of ACM in terms of prevalence, mortality, and DALYs than females, with the overall prevalence, mortality, and DALY rate being 7.4-fold, 7.7-fold, and 12.1-fold those of females, respectively. Decomposition analysis revealed that epidemiological factors were the primary driver of changes in the burden of ACM in China (contribution ratio: 43.56%-67.17%), followed by population aging (19.98%-33.56%) and population growth (12.84%-22.88%). <b>","PeriodicalId":38755,"journal":{"name":"中华心血管病杂志","volume":"54 3","pages":"310-316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147500105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 12 patients with AMI complicated by papillary muscle rupture and severe mitral regurgitation who underwent TEER at Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital affiliated to Xiamen University from December 2021 to October 2024. Collected data included demographic characteristics, diagnostics and treatment processes, in-hospital outcomes data.

Echocardiography was used to assess cardiac function in each group. HE staining was performed to observe the overall structure and cellular morphology of myocardial tissue. Wheat germ agglutinin staining was used to measure the cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes. Masson staining and Sirius red staining were employed for quantitative analysis of myocardial fibrosis levels and collagen proportion. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of Rap1GAP, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC), collagen type Ⅰ, collagen type Ⅲ, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), phosphorylated extracellular regulated kinase (p-ERK), extracellular regulated kinase (ERK), phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38), phosphorylated nuclear factor κB (p-NF-κB), and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) in myocardial tissue. In cell experiments, primary cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from 1-3-day-old Wistar rat neonates.
