Article Abstract
Dyslipidemia is one of the most important risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic disease and its control, through well-proven therapies, allows an optimal risk management over time. LDL-cholesterol targets are well defined by international guidelines and based on individual cardiovascular risk. As guidelines evolve, also laboratory reports need to do the same, including lipid reference values by cardiovascular risk classes, to avoid misunderstandings and inappropriate lipid-lowering therapy withdrawal. The aim of the present joint document from the Italian Society of Cardiology (SIC) and the Italian Society of Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology - Lab Medicine (SIBioC) is to analyze the importance of cardiovascular risk estimation, therapeutical targets, and crucial elements about dyslipidemia in laboratory tests, as well as to suggest a shared proposal for the report of lipid profile parameters to be applied to all clinical scenarios of our daily practice.

We report here the results of the 9th National Census (Cs-24) of Peritoneal Dialysis in Italy, carried out in 2025 by the Italian Society of Nephrology's Peritoneal Dialysis Project Group and relating to 2024. The Census was conducted in the 228 non pediatric centers which performed Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) in 2024. The results have been compared with previous Censuses carried out since 2005.

Background: The PORTEC-3 trial investigated the benefit of chemoradiotherapy versus pelvic radiotherapy alone for women with high-risk endometrial cancer. We present the preplanned long-term analysis of the randomised PORTEC-3 trial with a post-hoc analysis including molecular classification of the tumours.
Methods: PORTEC-3 was an open-label, multicentre, randomised, international phase 3 trial.

Cardiac adipose tissue is normally present in the epicardium, but a variable amount can also be present in the myocardium, particularly in the subepicardial regions of the right ventricular anterolateral and apical regions. Pathological adipose tissue changes may occur in both ischemic (previous myocardial infarction) and nonischemic (previous myocarditis, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, cardiac lipomas and liposarcomas) conditions, with or without extensive replacement-type myocardial fibrosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance is the gold standard imaging technique to characterize myocardial tissue changes and to distinguish between physiological and pathological cardiac fat deposits.

Hypertension is a clinical condition associated with an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension is also a driver of faster disease progression. Correct and appropriate treatment with antihypertensive medication reduces the risk of cardiovascular events and slows kidney disease progression.
