The 2023 American Heart Association (AHA) Health Presidential Advisory recommends risk assessment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) within the context of Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic syndrome (CKMS). However, an intuitive and easy-to-use risk score incorporating CKM health metrics remains needed to prevent CVD in daily practice. We constructed an acronym-based clinical risk score using CKM-related predictors and externally validated its predictive performance for total CVD and its subtypes of atherosclerotic CVD and heart failure, based on two prospective community-based cohorts. We found the Cholesterol, Kidney function, Male [Doubled], Smoker [Doubled]-Blood pressure, Age, and fast blood Glucose (CKMS-BAG) score exhibited good-to-excellent and robust performance regarding discrimination and risk stratification for total CVD and its subtypes in internal and external validation. Using clinical routine data, the CKMS-BAG score accurately discriminates participants at cardiovascular low, intermediate, and high risk. Thus, it might help improve CVD prevention and management in clinical practice without any paper or electronic tools.

Background: Cerebrovascular reactivity reflects changes in cerebral blood flow in response to an acute stimulus and is reflective of the brain's ability to match blood flow to demand. Functional MRI with a breath-hold task can be used to elicit this vasoactive response, but data validity hinges on subject compliance. Determining breath-hold compliance often requires external monitoring equipment.

The current guidelines for cardiovascular disease prevention by the European Society of Cardiology highlight the undisputable benefits of exercise and a physically active lifestyle for cardiovascular risk reduction. In addition to the health benefits of physical activity, observational data suggests that regular physical activity lowers all-cause mortality. However, this was not confirmed by Mendelian randomization studies and randomized controlled trials.

Background: Non-obstructive azoospermia represents the most severe form of male infertility. The heterogeneous nature of focal spermatogenesis within the testes of non-obstructive azoospermia patients poses significant challenges for accurately predicting sperm retrieval rates.
Objectives: To develop a machine learning-based predictive model for estimating sperm retrieval rates in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) frequently coexist in patients, with the development of AF often preceding HF decompensation. We sought to evaluate whether daily remote monitoring of ICD parameters could predict AF occurrence using machine learning techniques in a real-world cohort.
Methods: Data from patients with primary prevention ICDs transmitted daily to the Northwell centralized remote monitoring center between 2012 and 2021 were extracted.
