Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and obesity) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose control, and metabolic syndrome) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The AHA Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, brain health, complications of pregnancy, kidney disease, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, sudden cardiac arrest, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, valvular disease, venous thromboembolism, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing. The 2024 AHA Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort in 2023 by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and AHA staff members. The AHA strives to further understand and help heal health problems inflicted by structural racism, a public health crisis that can significantly damage physical and mental health and perpetuate disparities in access to health care, education, income, housing, and several other factors vital to healthy lives. This year's edition includes additional global data, as well as data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, with an enhanced focus on health equity across several key domains. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
The Rotterdam Study is a population-based cohort study, started in 1990 in the district of Ommoord in the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with the aim to describe the prevalence and incidence, unravel the etiology, and identify targets for prediction, prevention or intervention of multifactorial diseases in mid-life and elderly. The study currently includes 17,931 participants (overall response rate 65%), aged 40 years and over, who are examined in-person every 3 to 5 years in a dedicated research facility, and who are followed-up continuously through automated linkage with health care providers, both regionally and nationally. Research within the Rotterdam Study is carried out along two axes. First, research lines are oriented around diseases and clinical conditions, which are reflective of medical specializations. Second, cross-cutting research lines transverse these clinical demarcations allowing for inter- and multidisciplinary research. These research lines generally reflect subdomains within epidemiology. This paper describes recent methodological updates and main findings from each of these research lines. Also, future perspective for coming years highlighted.

Trends among platelet function, arterial calcium, and vascular function measures. Platelets 2023; 34:2238835. [PMID: 37609998 PMCID: PMC10947606 DOI: 10.1080/09537104.2023.2238835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
Arterial tonometry and vascular calcification measures are useful in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment. Prior studies found associations between tonometry measures, arterial calcium, and CVD risk. Activated platelets release angiopoietin-1 and other factors, which may connect vascular structure and platelet function. We analyzed arterial tonometry, platelet function, aortic, thoracic and coronary calcium, and thoracic and abdominal aorta diameters measured in the Framingham Heart Study Gen3/NOS/OMNI-2 cohorts (n = 3,429, 53.7% women, mean age 54.4 years ±9.3). Platelet reactivity in whole blood or platelet-rich plasma was assessed using 5 assays and 7 agonists. We analyzed linear mixed effects models with platelet reactivity phenotypes as outcomes, adjusting for CVD risk factors and family structure. Higher arterial calcium trended with higher platelet reactivity, whereas larger aortic diameters trended with lower platelet reactivity. Characteristic impedance (Zc) and central pulse pressure positively trended with various platelet traits, while pulse wave velocity and Zc negatively trended with collagen, ADP, and epinephrine traits. All results did not pass a stringent multiple test correction threshold (p < 2.22e-04). The diameter trends were consistent with lower shear environments invoking less platelet reactivity. The vessel calcium trends were consistent with subclinical atherosclerosis and platelet activation being inter-related.
