Inorganic nitrate reduces contrast-induced nephropathy in high-risk patients

Inorganic nitrate reduces contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), improves renal outcomes and reduces cardiac events compared to placebo in patients at risk of renal injury undergoing coronary angiography for acute coronary syndrome, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.

Inflammatory diets raise dementia and Alzheimer's risk

This research study links higher Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) scores to an increased risk of developing dementia, specifically Alzheimer's disease. The findings suggest that anti-inflammatory diets may offer a preventive strategy for dementia, underlining the need for further research to validate these associations.

OCT-guided PCI does not reduce target vessel failure in complex patients, but improves safety

Optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) leads to a larger minimum stent area but does not reduce the two-year rate of target vessel failure compared with angiography-guided PCI, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.

Unlocking ACE2: The enzyme that links COVID-19, heart disease, and diabetes

A recent study in the Journal of Biomedical Science examines the critical role of ACE2, an enzyme involved in blood volume and electrolyte balance, in chronic diseases like cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and COVID-19. The research suggests that ACE2 could serve as both a disease severity biomarker and a therapeutic target.
