Targeting of Pentraxin 3 Alleviated Cardiac Hypertrophy in Mice Induced by Angiotensin II
ABSTRACT Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) responds rapidly to inflammatory signals. This study investigated the functional involvement of PTX3 in angiotensin II (Ang II)‐mediated cardiac hypertrophy pathogenesis, with particular focus on its potential regulation through inflammatory pathways and oxidative stress mechanisms.

Prediabetes, Malignant Ventricular Hypertrophy and Stroke: The SPRINT Trial
ABSTRACT Aims Prediabetes and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are common risk factors in adults with hypertension. Whether their coexistence, particularly in the presence of subclinical myocardial injury or stress (malignant LVH), confers a heightened stroke risk is unknown.

ABSTRACT Aims Heart failure (HF) is among the most costly and prevalent complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D), with annual incremental healthcare costs reaching US$12800 in Hong Kong. We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of NT‐proBNP‐guided cardiovascular risk stratification to guide cardioprotective treatment. Materials and Methods We developed a four‐
