Despite the importance of comorbid ischemic heart disease (IHD) in the prognosis of asthma, the long-term impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on IHD in adults with asthma remains unclear. This study investigated the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the risk of IHD in individuals with asthma, particularly regarding COVID-19 severity. Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service claims database, we identified individuals with asthma who had recovered from COVID-19 between October 8, 2020, and December 31, 2021 (n = 8,011) and 1:1 propensity score-matched controls (n = 8,011). The incidence and risk of IHD were compared between the two groups. Overall, during a median follow-up of 95 days (interquartile range, 34-213 days; range, 1-448 days), which includes a median of 14 lag days, the COVID-19 cohort did not show a higher risk of IHD (hazard ratio [HR], 2.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99-4.48) compared to matched controls. However, when the severity of COVID-19 was considered, the severe COVID-19 cohort exhibited a higher risk of IHD (HR, 4.89; 95% CI, 1.86-12.84) than matched controls; in contrast, the non-severe COVID-19 cohort showed no significantly increased risk of IHD (HR, 1.64; 95% CI, 0.73-3.70). Severe COVID-19 is associated with an increased long-term risk of IHD in adults with asthma, emphasizing the importance of cardiovascular events monitoring to improve asthma treatment outcomes in the era of COVID-19.

The new section on ischemic heart disease (IHD) among the Italian Sports Cardiology Guidelines (COCIS) provides updated recommendations for the evaluation, management and eligibility of athletes with known or suspected IHD. Emphasizing a risk-stratified approach, the guidelines integrate clinical, functional, and imaging assessments to determine the safety of competitive sports participation. Key updates include considerations for athletes with asymptomatic or subclinical disease.

Background: Environmental noise, particularly from road and railway traffic, has been identified as a significant public health concern. The World Health Organization (WHO) has highlighted the adverse effects of noise exposure on cardiovascular health, including ischemic heart disease (IHD). Despite the European Union's regulations on air pollution, there are no mandatory limits for environmental noise exposure, necessitating further investigation into its health impacts.

Introduction: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading global health burden, with lead exposure identified as a significant environment risk factor contributing to its prevalence.
Methods: Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2021 were used to analyze deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of IHD due to lead exposure at global, regional, and national levels. Decomposition analysis, frontier analysis, and Bayesian age-period cohort (BAPC) models were applied to assess trends from 1990 to 2021.

Objectives: This study aims to analyze the disease burden of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in China from 1990 to 2021 utilizing data from Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database.
Methods: Data from the GBD 2021 database were used to evaluate the prevalence, incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and years of life lost (YLLs) attributable to IHD in China from 1990 to 2021. Age-standardized rates and Joinpoint analysis were employed to assess temporal trends, with comparisons across gender and age groups.

Using generalised linear models (GLMs) with a Poisson link, this study analysed the short-term effect of NO, ozone, PM and PM on the daily number of emergency hospital admissions due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), acute cerebrovascular disease, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and ischaemic heart disease (IHD). The impact of the minimum daily temperature in cold waves and maximum daily temperature in heat waves was likewise analysed. Specific dose-response functions were calculated for each province and cause of admission considered.
