The emergence of digital twin technology, which creates virtual replicas of real-world objects or systems, has shown great promise in various fields, including healthcare. In the context of CVD, digital twins offer a unique opportunity for personalised medicine and risk assessment by integrating diverse data sources and generating patient-specific computational models. This viewpoint explores the potential applications and benefits of digital twins in CVD management, including personalised risk assessment, disease modelling, treatment optimisation, and remote patient monitoring. Additionally, it discusses the challenges and limitations associated with implementing digital twins in the context of cardiovascular diseases. Digital twins have the potential to revolutionise CVD management by providing a dynamic and individualised approach to risk assessment, treatment optimisation, and proactive care. Collaborative efforts between healthcare professionals, researchers, and technology developers are necessary to overcome these challenges and fully realise the potential of digital twins in improving patient outcomes and revolutionising cardiovascular healthcare. Future directions include advancements in artificial intelligence, integration of omics data, real-time monitoring, virtual clinical trials, patient empowerment, and integration with healthcare systems.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between uric acid to HDL ratio and hypertension. We found that UHR was positively associated with hypertension prevalence in a nationally representative sample of U.S. participants. In model 3 corrected for multiple confounders, the HR (95% CI) was 1.49 (1.30, 1.70), 2.11 (1.74, 2.54), and 2.97 (2.40, 3.68) for Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively, compared with the reference value (Q1). There was a nonlinear relationship between the ratio of uric acid to HDL and blood pressure, with an inflection point value of approximately 17. The correlation between the ratio of uric acid to HDL and hypertension was more pronounced before the inflection point value, a finding that was consistent across subgroups except for coronary artery disease. Uric acid, HDL and UHR were predictive of the prevalence of hypertension to varying degrees, with Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.62, 0.53, and 0.59, respectively.
