Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the incredible success of the Special Issue “Current Advances in Acute Coronary Syndrome” https://0-www-mdpi-com.brum.beds.ac.uk/journal/jcm/topical_collections/Advances_Acute_Coronary_Syndrome, the Editors of the Journal of Clinical Medicine have decided to prepare and publish this new Special Issue.

With the aging of the population and related therapeutic innovations, patients with acute and chronic coronary syndromes are becoming increasingly complex to address, consequently generating evidence in this context regarding the therapeutic level, interventionism, and the impact of geriatric syndromes.

The objective of this Special Issue is to disseminate a wide range of advances in clinical research on Acute and Chronic Coronary Syndromes topics that could support the future of the clinical progress, care and treatment of patients with Acute and Chronic Coronary Syndromes.

(1) Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death in both sexes. The male sex is considered a classical atherosclerosis risk factor, whereas females should be protected by hormonal effects until menopause. Although there are known differences in the development, type, and prognosis of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) between both sexes, there are no differences in approach in the guidelines. (2) Methods: The sex-related differences in CAD risk factors, treatment, echocardiographic, and angiographic results were assessed among 3291 patients with CCS. (3) Results: Women were older and had a higher prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and diabetes mellitus than men. Women were more often treated conservatively than men. There was no difference in the use of beta-blockers and statins among the sexes. The LDL cholesterol goal was less frequently reached by women. Women were treated less often with aspirin than men, but they were treated more often with angiotensin receptor blockers than men. The left ventricle ejection fraction was higher among females. The number of obstructed vessels was higher in men. (4) Conclusions: Women may be more exposed to the risk factors of CAD than men. Men are diagnosed with CAD earlier, and their prevention and therapy are more efficient. Full article

Which Biomarker(s) Augment the Diagnostic Value of the Positive Exercise Electrocardiography Test: Systemic Inflammatory Index, Plasma Atherogenic Index, or Monocyte/HDL-C Ratio?

The exercise electrocardiography test (EET) is still used before coronary angiography in the diagnosis of chronic coronary syndromes. This study aimed to demonstrate the value of the combination of a positive EET with the systemic inflammatory index (SII), the plasma atherogenic index (PAI), and the monocyte/HDL-C ratio (MHR) in the determination of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). This single-center, retrospective study included 540 patients who underwent coronary angiography after ETT. The patients were separated into Group 1, comprising 434 patients with normal coronary arteries and non-obstructive CAD, and Group 2, including 106 with obstructive CAD. In Group 2, the patients were separated into SYNTAX ≤ 22 or ≥23. Glucose, low-density lipoprotein, white blood cells, and MHR were determined to be significantly higher in Group 2 (p < 0.05). According to the multivariate logistic regression analysis, age, gender, diabetes mellitus, and low-density lipoprotein were determined to be independent predictors of CAD. In the ROC curve analysis, a cut-off value of 12 for the MHR in the determination of obstructive CAD had a sensitivity of 60.4% and a specificity of 53.0%. The main result of this study was that a high MHR is an indicator of obstructive CAD in patients with positive EET and suspected CAD. Full article

Cardiovascular (CV) diseases remain a global health challenge, with ischemic heart disease (IHD) being the primary cause of both morbidity and mortality. Despite optimal pharmacological therapy, older patients with IHD exhibit an increased susceptibility to recurrent ischemic events, significantly impacting their prognosis. Inflammation is intricately linked with the aging process and plays a pivotal role in the evolution of atherosclerosis. Emerging anti-inflammatory therapies have shown promise in reducing ischemic events among high-risk populations. This review aims to explore the potential of targeted anti-inflammatory interventions in improving clinical outcomes and the quality of life for older patients with IHD. Full article
