This review identified distinguishing features of adult Kawasaki Disease compared to pediatric cases, noting more favorable prognosis in adults with fewer cardiovascular complications and no fatalities, although it remains a rare and often unrecognized condition.

This case report highlights the first known instance of ANA-negative systemic lupus erythematosus presenting as spontaneous coronary artery dissection, emphasizing a need for rheumatological evaluation in such patients.

This study investigates the potential link between atrial fibrillation and circulating aldosterone levels related to cardiac fibrosis in patients with hypertension.

In this study involving patients with coronary artery disease, a preauricular crease was present in 77% of cases, suggesting it may be worth investigating for association with the condition.

This case report describes a 36-year-old female patient with panhypopituitarism, experiencing severe adrenal insufficiency and thyroid hormone deficiency, which led to electrolyte imbalance, QT interval prolongation, and ventricular tachycardia; treatment stabilized her condition, underscoring the importance of hormonal evaluation in arrhythmia assessment.

In this study, nonobese normotensive women with PCOS had higher left ventricular mass index compared to healthy controls, which was linked to inflammation and insulin resistance rather than androgen excess.

This study found that male patients with androgenetic alopecia were associated with an increased risk of varicose veins, but not other major vascular diseases.

Hair loss may be linked to cardiovascular health problems.

This case report describes a 27-year-old male with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, characterized by symptoms including fever, dysarthria, dysphagia, oral candidiasis, nail dystrophy, alopecia, hypoparathyroidism, and dilated cardiomyopathy. The study highlights unique bilateral symmetrical brain calcifications and underscores the syndrome’s diverse manifestations.

This study found evidence suggesting that androgenic alopecia may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors, but noted a lack of comprehensive research on scarring alopecias and cardiovascular disease.

This article reviews the clinical aspects and potential mechanisms of chronic graft vs host disease skin manifestations, describing a novel form of premature skin aging, but presents no new research findings.

This case report suggests that premature aging may contribute to weakened immunity and the development of autoimmune diseases.

This case study reports a 60-year-old woman's clinical findings related to hypothyroidism and elevated prolactin levels but does not present new research results.

In this study, premature coronary artery disease in Indians under 40 was linked to factors like dyslipidemia, low HDL-C, smoking, and central obesity, with cutaneous markers significantly associated.

In this study, researchers found that transgender men exhibited impaired autonomic modulation during sympathetic stimulation compared to cisgender women, potentially due to testosterone treatment affecting cardiac autonomic modulation.

This study found that extracellular vesicles derived from cardiosphere-derived cells classified as potent were effective in reducing cardiac hypertrophy and improving systemic health markers in rats with induced cardiac aging.

This report presents a case of a 17-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic vasculitis, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and timely referral for intensive treatment.

This case report highlights a 42-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who exhibited fundus changes indicating retinal vasculitis, underlining the importance of regular ocular fundus examinations for early detection of severe disease complications.

This study found that one month after discharge, cardiovascular patients previously hospitalized for COVID-19 experienced reduced respiratory symptoms but increased reports of depression, hypercholesterolemia, fatigue, and sleep disorders.

This study found that magnesium deficiency in rats led to elevated diastolic blood pressure and altered vascular responses, although the mechanisms remain unclear.

This review discusses the disproportionate negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals with chronic medical conditions and calls for strategies to protect these vulnerable populations.

Higher variability in systolic blood pressure increases long-term mortality risk in coronary artery disease patients.

Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

In this review, the authors discuss how both genetic and epigenetic factors influence the development of vascular systems, highlighting the natural and pathological roles of angiogenesis in processes like pregnancy and diseases such as cancer and diabetes.

This research explores the impact of advanced technologies, such as machine learning and robotics, on cardiothoracic surgery, noting that innovations like artificial hearts and enhanced circulatory support systems may improve patient outcomes by aiding diagnostics, surgery planning, and postoperative care.

This case report highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex cardio-obstetric patients, as demonstrated by a pregnant woman with a large pericardial effusion successfully treated with a surgical pericardial window.

This study reports a case of a child with congenital skin fragility, alopecia, and cardiomyopathy due to compound heterozygous mutations in the DSP gene causing desmoplakin deficiency.

This study reports a case of Ellis van Creveld syndrome in a 40-year-old Iranian woman, highlighting uncommon features such as pectus excavatum, Phrygian cap gallbladder, liver hemangioma, polycystic ovarian disease, and breast fibrocystic cysts.

This study found that in adults with vitiligo, certain autoimmune diseases are associated with factors like age, sex, and extent of vitiligo, suggesting tailored screening strategies based on these variables.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenic alopecia have a higher risk of needing coronary revascularization before age 60 compared to those with later onset or no hair loss.
