Background And Aims: There are many IL1RL1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) significantly associated with circulating sST2 concentration. Little is known about the effects of IL1RL1 SNP on the outcome of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to investigate whether IL1RL1 SNP can predict mortality.
Methods: We enrolled 601 individuals receiving health examination, 532 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and 86 patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Genotyping for SNP rs950880 and rs13001325 was performed and sST2 level was measured. The primary endpoint was all-cause death. The secondary endpoints were cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, stroke, and amputation.
Results: Individuals having rs950880 AA genotype all had rs13001325 TT genotype and tended to have lower sST2 levels in all 3 populations. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that patients with high sST2 level and rs950880 AA genotype had the lowest survival rate in presence of CAD (p < 0.001) and PAD (p = 0.007). In multivariable Cox regression analysis, the independent predictors of all-cause death were rs950880 AA homozygote (p = 0.018), age (p = 0.002), log sST2 level (p = 0.014), and log GDF-15 level (p = 0.017) in CAD patients. The independent predictor of all-cause death was rs950880-AA homozygote (p = 0.019) in PAD patients. There was no significant difference in secondary endpoints between rs950880 AA homozygote and C allele carriers.
Conclusions: Individuals having rs950880 AA genotype also have rs13001325 TT genotype and tend to have lower sST2 levels. The rs950880 AA homozygote is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in CAD and PAD patients.

Background: We assessed the ability of MR-proANP, sST2 and BNP to predict maintenance of sinus rhythm at one year after successful electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.
Methods: Prospective, multicenter, observational study including patients undergoing electrical cardioversion of persistent AF. MR-proANP, sST2 and BNP were measured in peripheral venous blood before cardioversion.

Despite improvements in medical therapy, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a major burden on the healthcare system and remains a leading cause of death with a 5-year mortality rate of more than 60%. Novel therapeutic agents such as angiotensin-receptor-neprilysin-inhibitors (ARNIs) lead to significant improvement in clinical outcomes. Optimal therapy monitoring under these novel drugs is crucial for improving the outcome.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common complication of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) that sufficiently intervenes in the prognosis. The aim of the study is a) to investigate the possible discriminative value of adropin for newly onset AF in patients with HFpEF without a previous history of AF and who are being treated in accordance with conventional guideline and b) to compare it with predictive potencies of conventionally used predictors.
Methods: A total of 953 patients with HFpEF who had sinus rhythm on ECG were enrolled in the study.

Word count of the full article: 4834Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined as myocardial dysfunction in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients independent of coronary artery disease (CAD) or hypertension (HTN). With high morbidity and mortality, DCM poses a significant threat to patient health. Its underlying pathogenesis remains incompletely elucidated, and the prolonged subclinical phase renders early diagnosis and precise treatment clinically challenging.

Background: To investigate how serum sST2 and cfDNA can be used to inform evidence-based nursing practices for children with severe pneumonia and myocardial damage.
Methods: 100 children with severe pneumonia complicated with myocardial damage were recruited as research subjects. After assessing serum sST2 and cfDNA concentrations, the individuals were categorised into a control cohort (receiving standard treatment, n=50) and an experimental cohort (receiving evidence-based treatment guided by serum sST2 and cfDNA markers, n=50).
