To address this problem, we employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization approach. Methods : We selected genetic instruments for these risk factors from genome-wide association studies encompassing 3,383,199 individuals at the genome-wide significance level ( p < 5 × 10 − 9 ). Arterial stiffness data were acquired from the UK Biobank, which included 127,121 participants. Our primary analysis utilized the inverse variance-weighted method to explore causality. To confirm our results’ robustness, we conducted sensitivity analyses using Egger regression, the weighted median method, and Mendelian Randomization Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO). Results : Our analysis revealed a significant association between genetic inclination to smoking initiation and an increase in the arterial stiffness index ( β = 0.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.06 to 0.16; p = 1.95 × 10 − 5 ). Additionally, there was a suggestive connection between genetically predicted number of cigarettes per day and the arterial stiffness index ( β = 0.05; 95% CI, 5.25 × 10 − 4 to 0.10; p = 4.75 × 10 − 2 ). No causal relationships were observed between the genetically predicted age of smoking initiation, smoking cessation, or alcohol consumption and the risk of arterial stiffness index. Conclusions : This Mendelian randomization study indicates that smoking initiation is likely a causative risk factor for arterial stiffness. However, further research is needed to determine if the quantity of daily cigarettes directly contributes to arterial stiffness development. Regarding alcohol consumption, age of smoking initiation, and smoking cessation, there was insufficient evidence to establish causality.","PeriodicalId":507771,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine","volume":"109 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141665951","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}

Besides historically validated causal factors, inflammatory and oxidative stress (OS) related markers seem to be correlated to CV events but this association needs to be further explored. We conducted an observational study to determine the predictive role of the longitudinal changes of commonly used and OS-related biomarkers during the cancer treatment period. Methods : Patients undergoing anticancer therapies, either aged 75+ years old or younger with an increased CV risk according to European Society of Cardiology guidelines, were enrolled. We assessed the predictive value of biomarkers for the onset of CV events at baseline and during therapy using Cox model, Subpopulation Treatment-Effect Pattern Plot (STEPP) method and repeated measures analysis of longitudinal data. Results : From April 2018 to August 2021, 182 subjects were enrolled, of whom 168 were evaluable. Twenty-eight CV events were recorded after a median follow up of 9.2 months (Interquartile range, IQR: 5.1–14.7). Fibrinogen and troponin levels were independent risk factors for CV events. Specifically, patients with higher than the median levels of fibrinogen and troponin at baseline had higher risk compared with patients with values below the medians, hazard ratio (HR) = 3.95, 95% CI, 1.25–12.45 and HR = 2.48, 0.67–9.25, respectively. STEPP analysis applied to Cox model showed that cumulative event-free survival at 18 and 24 months worsened almost linearly as median values of fibrinogen increased. Repeated measure analysis showed an increase over time of D-Dimer ( p -interaction event*time = 0.08), systolic ( p = 0.07) and diastolic ( p = 0.05) blood pressure and a decrease of left ventricular ejection fraction ( p = 0.15) for subjects who experienced a CV event. Conclusions : Higher levels of fibrinogen and troponin at baseline and an increase over time of D-Dimer and blood pressure are associated to a higher risk of CV events in patients undergoing anticancer therapies. The role of OS in fibrinogen increase and the longitudinal monitoring of D-dimer and blood pressure levels should be further assessed.","PeriodicalId":507771,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine","volume":"52 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141663400","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}

In this study, we aimed to investigate the changes in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) before and after treatment in BC patients who received anthracyclines adjuvant chemotherapy protocol (AC-T) and anthracyclines combined with trastuzumabadjuvant chemotherapy protocol (AC-TH). Additionally, we assessed whether there were any differences in the changes in EAT between the two groups of patients. Our objective was to examine the effects of anthracyclines and trastuzumab on EAT and determine the potential role of EAT changes on CTX. Methods : We reviewed female BC patients who were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy protocols of AC-T and AC-TH, all of whom underwent baseline (T0) and follow-up (T1) chest computed tomography (CT) and echocardiography. A cohort of healthy women, matched in age, underwent two chest CTs. EAT was quantified on chest CT using semi-automated software. CTX was defined as a > 10% reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline, with an absolute value of < 53%. Results : A total of 41 BC patients were included in the study, with 23 patients in the AC-T group and 18 patients in the AC-TH group. Additionally, 22 healthy females were included as the normal group. None of the BC patients developed CTX after chemotherapy. The age did not differ significantly between the normal group and the AC-T group ( p = 0.341) or the AC-TH group ( p = 0.853). Similarly, the body mass index (BMI) of the normal group was comparable to that of the AC-T group ( p = 0.377, 0.346) and the AC-TH group ( p = 0.148, 0.119) before and after chemotherapy. The EAT volume index (mL/kg/m 2 ) was significantly higher in both the AC-T group (5.11 ± 1.85 vs. 4.34 ± 1.55, p < 0.001) and the AC-TH group (4.53 ± 1.61 vs. 3.48 ± 1.62, p < 0.001) at T1 compared with T0. In addition, both the AC-T group (–72.95 ± 5.01 vs. –71.22 ± 3.91, p = 0.005) and the AC-TH group (–72.55 ± 5.27 vs. –68.20 ± 5.98, p < 0.001) exhibited a significant decrease in EAT radiodensity (HU) at T1 compared to T0. However, there was no significant difference observed in the normal group. At T0, no difference was seen in EAT volume index (4.34 ± 1.55 vs. 3.48 ± 1.62, p = 0.090) and radiodensity (–71.22 ± 3.91 vs. –68.20 ± 5.98, p = 0.059) between the AC-T and AC-TH groups. Similarly, at T1, there was still no significant difference observed in the EAT volume index (–5.11 ± 1.85 vs. 4.53 ± 1.61, p = 0.308) and radiodensity (–72.95 ± 5.00 vs. –72.54 ± 5.27, p = 0.802) between the two groups.
