Correlation of non-esterified fatty acids with acute coronary syndrome risk in young Chinese adults.

Objective: Circulating non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) are linked to endothelial dysfunction and coronary artery disease (CAD) mainly in older adults. This study examines the association between NEFAs and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) risk in young Chinese individuals.

Method: Of the 1264 young ACS patients and 1072 age-matched controls aged 55 years or younger assessed, 1108 ACS patients and 979 controls were found eligible.

The controlling nutritional status score and clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure: Pool analysis of observational studies.

Background And Aims: Malnutrition is very common in patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with a worse clinical outcome. The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is an easily derived index for the evaluation of malnutrition. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the CONUT score and the prognosis in patients with HF.
