Article Abstract
Aim: This study investigated the impact of ABCB1 gene polymorphisms on clopidogrel absorption and therapeutic response by analyzing plasma levels of the clopidogrel carboxylic acid metabolite (CAM), and cardiovascular events (CVEs) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: A prospective cohort study of 264 post-PCI patients was conducted in Peshawar, Pakistan. CVEs over 12 months were recorded. Plasma concentrations of CAM were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), while the ABCB1 gene (rs1045642) was genotyped by Sanger sequencing to determine associations between genetic variants, CAM levels, and clinical outcomes.
Results: The study documented 54 CVEs, including 13 deaths, 6 stent thromboses, 10 recurrent myocardial infarctions, 23 ischemic events requiring hospitalization, and 2 strokes. The analysis showed that 31.1% of patients had subtherapeutic CAM levels ( <2000 ng/ml), while 68.9% had therapeutic levels. Genetic analysis identified 65% as poor absorbers (CT/TT genotypes) and 35% as good absorbers (CC genotype), while CAM levels were significantly associated with the CT/TT genotype ( < 0.005).
Conclusion: This study linking ABCB1 variation to CAM concentration and therapeutic outcomes. There was a significant association between ABCB1 variants and CAM concentrations. However, no association was found between ABCB1 polymorphisms and CVEs.

Drug-Eluting Resorbable Scaffold Versus Balloon Angioplasty for Below-the-Knee Peripheral Artery Disease: 2-Year Results From the LIFE-BTK Trial.

Background: Limited treatment options exist for infrapopliteal disease in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a condition associated with a high risk of limb loss. Interventional management of diseased infrapopliteal vessels with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is associated with high rates of restenosis and reintervention. In the LIFE-BTK trial, the drug-eluting resorbable scaffold (DRS) demonstrated superior 12-month efficacy compared with PTA in a selected CLTI population with predominantly noncomplex, mildly to moderately calcified lesions.

Aims: Cardiogenic shock remains a significant cause of mortality despite multiple advancements in medical interventions. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides crucial circulatory support but also increases left ventricular (LV) after-load, potentially worsening outcomes. Effective LV unloading strategies can enhance patient survival during VA-ECMO treatment.

Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) may be associated with adverse influenza-related outcomes. We assessed the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of high-dose (HD-IIV) vs. standard-dose (SD-IIV) inactivated influenza vaccination against cardiovascular and all-cause hospitalizations and all-cause mortality according to history of AF.

Background: The incidence of unstable angina (UA), a type of cardiovascular disease (CVD), has increased in recent years. Meanwhile, timely percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures are crucial for patients with UA who also have diabetes mellitus (DM). Additionally, exploring other factors that may influence the prognosis of these patients could provide long-term benefits.

Background: Limited data are available regarding the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), particularly Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR), in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of SDB and CSR, as well as the factors associated with these conditions, in patients with AF without LV systolic dysfunction.
Methods: Patients with paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal AF underwent echocardiography and cardiorespiratory polygraphy.
