Timely evaluation of acute chest pain is necessary, although most evaluations will not find significant coronary disease. With employers increasingly adopting high-deductible health plans (HDHP), how HDHPs impact subsequent care after an emergency department (ED) diagnosis of nonspecific chest pain is unclear.

Lipoprotein-related traits have been consistently identified as risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, largely on the basis of studies of coronary artery disease (CAD). The relative contributions of specific lipoproteins to the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) have not been well defined. We leveraged large-scale genetic association data to investigate the effects of circulating lipoprotein-related traits on PAD risk.

eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) is an endothelial cell (EC)–specific gene predominantly expressed in medium- to large-sized arteries where ECs experience atheroprotective laminar flow with high shear stress. Disturbed flow with lower average shear stress decreases eNOS transcription, which leads to the development of atherosclerosis, especially at bifurcations and curvatures of arteries. This prototypic arterial EC gene contains 2 distinct flow-responsive cis-DNA elements in the promoter, the shear stress response element (SSRE) and the KLF (Krüppel-like factor) element. Previous in vitro studies suggested their positive regulatory functions on flow-induced transcription of EC genes including eNOS. However, the in vivo function of these cis-DNA elements remains unknown.

Phospholamban (PLN) is a critical regulator of calcium cycling and contractility in the heart. The loss of arginine at position 14 in PLN (R14del) is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy with a high prevalence of ventricular arrhythmias. How the R14 deletion causes dilated cardiomyopathy is poorly understood, and there are no disease-specific therapies.

The American Heart Association (AHA) is the largest not-for-profit funder of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease research in the United States. It has supported research of independent scientists for 7 decades with the goal of finding novel discoveries that will reduce death and disability from these diseases and ultimately improve overall health. In 2014, the AHA approved a pilot initiative to include lay stakeholders (patients, caregivers, and passionate advocates) in its research and science operations. The initiative was based on the premise that lay stakeholders would add a unique and necessary perspective that would improve decisions concerning research funding, research direction, and scientific guidelines. The AHA developed a framework for the initiative that defined lay stakeholder, created a volunteer recruitment and training program, established policies for incorporating lay stakeholders into science operations, and set metrics for evaluating the initiative over time. It has instituted creative ways to engage lay volunteers and to foster lay and scientist cooperation. Program assessments have been consistently positive and have identified needed future improvements. The benefits of lay/scientist collaboration have far exceeded the AHA’s expectations. The AHA will continue to strengthen lay volunteer engagement throughout its science and research operations; to focus on developing a larger, diverse group of qualified lay stakeholders; to educate scientists on how to communicate research effectively to the public and donors; and to retain the respect of donors for the rigors of its research funding, scientific statements, and clinical guidelines.

Cardiac catheterization procedures have rapidly evolved and expanded in scope and techniques over the past few decades. However, although some practices have emerged based on evidence, many traditions have persisted based on beliefs and theoretical concerns. The aim of this review is to highlight common preprocedure, intraprocedure, and postprocedure catheterization laboratory practices where evidence has accumulated over the past few decades to support or discount traditionally held practices.
