Article Abstract

Aims: To investigate the relationship between the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) with all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or pre-diabetes (pre-DM) among American adults.

Methods: This study included 3684 patients with T2DM or pre-DM from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2018.

Results: Our study revealed an inverse J-shaped relationship between the SMI with all-cause mortality in US adults with T2DM or pre-DM. We determined the inflection points for all-cause mortality in patients with T2DM or pre-DM were 9.07 kg/m in males and 7.82 kg/m in females. In men, the all-cause mortality decreased by approximately 72 % (HR, 0.28; 95 % CI, 0.09-0.93) for each unit increased in the SMI below the inflection point. In women, all-cause mortality was reduced by 60 % (HR, 0.40; 95 % CI, 0.16-0.91) for each unit increased in SMI below the threshold. A reverse J-shaped SMI-mortality association emerged in patients with T2DM, contrasting with a U-shaped pattern in pre-DM individuals.

Conclusions: An inverse J-shaped association was observed between the SMI with all-cause mortality in in US adults with T2DM or pre-DM. SMI is a valuable tool for predicting all-cause mortality in patients with T2DM or pre-DM.

Background: Long-term outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (TEER) are compared with medical therapy remain under investigation. This study evaluated the 3-year effects of MitraClip on mitral regurgitation (MR) severity, ventricular remodeling, and clinical outcomes in high surgical-risk patients.

Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort included 31 MitraClip patients (2016-2023) and 30 contemporaneous controls on maximally tolerated guideline-directed medical therapy.

Background: Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is prevalent among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and associated with adverse outcome, yet this bidirectional association remains underexplored.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the pathophysiological and prognostic significance of AFMR in HFpEF, both at rest and during exercise.

Methods: In this multicenter cohort study, consecutive patients with HFpEF underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing with echocardiography, with a particular focus on mitral regurgitation (MR) severity assessment in rest and during exercise.

Background The prognostic value of baseline visual emphysema scoring at low-dose CT (LDCT) in lung cancer screening cohorts is unknown. Purpose To determine whether a single visual emphysema score at LDCT is predictive of 25-year mortality from all causes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Materials and Methods In this prospective cohort study, asymptomatic adults aged 40-85 years with a history of smoking underwent baseline LDCT screening for lung cancer between June 2000 and December 2008.

Introduction: The aim of this article is to compare the long-term efficacy of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) versus Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) in reducing mortality among adult patients with uncomplicated Stanford type B aortic dissection (uSTBAD).

Methods: An electronic search of PubMed, Cochrane Central and Google Scholar was conducted for studies comparing TEVAR with OMT for mortality in adult patients with uSTBAD. Relevant outcomes, including mortality, aortic rupture, re-intervention, retrograde type A dissection, myocardial infarction and stroke were analyzed and presented as risk ratios (RRs) along with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
