    Abstract: Positive outward remodeling of pre-existing collateral arteries into functional conductance arteries, arteriogenesis, is a major endogenous rescue mechanism to prevent cardiovascular ischemia. Collateral arterial growth is accompanied by expression of kinin precursor. However, the role of kinin signaling via the kinin receptors (B1R and B2R) in arteriogenesis is unclear. Objective: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the functional role and mechanism of bradykinin receptor signaling in arteriogenesis. Methods and Results: Bradykinin receptors positively affected arteriogenesis, with the contribution of B1R being more pronounced than B2R. In mice, arteriogenesis upon femoral artery occlusion was significantly reduced in B1R mutant mice as evidenced by reduced microspheres and laser Doppler flow perfusion measurements. Transplantation of wild-type bone marrow cells into irradiated B1R mutant mice restored arteriogenesis, whereas bone marrow chimeric mice generated by reconstituting wild-type mice with B1R mutant bone marrow showed reduced arteriogenesis after femoral artery occlusion. In the rat brain 3-vessel occlusion arteriogenesis model, pharmacological blockade of B1R inhibited arteriogenesis and stimulation of B1R enhanced arteriogenesis. In the rat, femoral artery ligation combined with arterial venous shunt model resulted in flow-driven arteriogenesis, and treatment with B1R antagonist R715 decreased vascular remodeling and leukocyte invasion (monocytes) into the perivascular tissue. In monocyte migration assays, in vitro B1R agonists enhanced migration of monocytes. Conclusions: Kinin receptors act as positive modulators of arteriogenesis in mice and rats. B1R can be blocked or therapeutically stimulated by B1R antagonists or agonists, respectively, involving a contribution of peripheral immune cells (monocytes) linking hemodynamic conditions with inflammatory pathways.

    Abstract: All major Hispanic/Latino groups in the United States have a high prevalence of obesity, which is often severe. Little is known about cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) risk factors among those at very high levels of body mass index ( BMI ). Methods and Results Among US Hispanic men (N=6547) and women (N=9797), we described gradients across the range of BMI and age in CVD risk factors including hypertension, serum lipids, diabetes, and C‐reactive protein. Sex differences in CVD risk factor prevalences were determined at each level of BMI , after adjustment for age and other demographic and socioeconomic variables. Among those with class II or III obesity ( BMI ≥35 kg/m 2 , 18% women and 12% men), prevalences of hypertension, diabetes, low high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and high C‐reactive protein level approached or exceeded 40% during the fourth decade of life. While women had a higher prevalence of class III obesity ( BMI ≥40 kg/m 2 ) than did men (7% and 4%, respectively), within this highest BMI category there was a 〉 50% greater relative prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in men versus women, while sex differences in prevalence of these CVD risk factors were ≈20% or less at other BMI levels. Conclusions Elevated BMI is common in Hispanic/Latino adults and is associated with a considerable excess of CVD risk factors. At the highest BMI levels, CVD risk factors often emerge in the earliest decades of adulthood and they affect men more often than women.

    Abstract: Aggressive fluid or blood component transfusion for severe hemorrhagic shock may restore macrocirculatory parameters, but not always improve microcirculatory perfusion and tissue oxygen delivery. We established an ovine model of hemorrhagic shock to systematically assess tissue oxygen delivery and repayment of oxygen debt; appropriate outcomes to guide Patient Blood Management. Methods: Female Dorset-cross sheep were anesthetized, intubated, and subjected to comprehensive macrohemodynamic, regional tissue oxygen saturation (StO 2 ), sublingual capillary imaging, and arterial lactate monitoring confirmed by invasive organ-specific microvascular perfusion, oxygen pressure, and lactate/pyruvate levels in brain, kidney, liver, and skeletal muscle. Shock was induced by stepwise withdrawal of venous blood until MAP was 30 mm Hg, mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO 2 ) 〈 60%, and arterial lactate 〉 4 mM. Resuscitation with PlasmaLyte® was dosed to achieve MAP 〉 65 mm Hg. Results: Hemorrhage impacted primary outcomes between baseline and development of shock: MAP 89 ± 5 to 31 ± 5 mm Hg ( P 〈 0.01), SvO 2 70 ± 7 to 23 ± 8% ( P 〈 0.05), cerebral regional tissue StO 2 77 ± 11 to 65 ± 9% ( P 〈 0.01), peripheral muscle StO 2 66 ± 8 to 16 ± 9% ( P 〈 0.01), arterial lactate 1.5 ± 1.0 to 5.1 ± 0.8 mM ( P 〈 0.01), and base excess 1.1 ± 2.2 to −3.6 ± 1.7 mM ( P 〈 0.05). Invasive organ-specific monitoring confirmed reduced tissue oxygen delivery; oxygen tension decreased and lactate increased in all tissues, but moderately in brain. Blood volume replacement with PlasmaLyte® improved primary outcome measures toward baseline, confirmed by organ-specific measures, despite hemoglobin reduced from baseline 10.8 ± 1.2 to 5.9 ± 1.1 g/dL post-resuscitation ( P 〈 0.01). Conclusion: Non-invasive measures of tissue oxygen delivery and oxygen debt repayment are suitable outcomes to inform Patient Blood Management of hemorrhagic shock, translatable for pre-clinical assessment of novel resuscitation strategies.

    Abstract: Background: Early life adversities (ELA) are known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, but less understood is how distinct configurations of ELA impart differential risks for cardiometabolic health and heart failure (HF) in adulthood. Objective: To determine distinct profiles of ELA and assess whether there are associations between the resultant profiles and multiple indicators of cardiometabolic disease and pre-HF among Hispanic/Latino adults. Methods: Data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos SCAS and ECHO-SOL (N=1143, mean age 55.9±0.4 years, 58.2% female) were used. Latent class analysis was used to identify the optimal number of classes characterizing ELA co-occurrence overall and by gender. Prevalent pre-HF was defined as systolic dysfunction (left ventricular (LF) ejection fraction 〈 50%/ global longitudinal strain 〉 15%) or diastolic dysfunction (≥ Grade 1) or LV remodeling (LV mass index 〉 115 for males, 〉 95 for females/ relative wall thickness 〉 0.42). Weighted multivariable logit models were used to examine associations. Results: The best fitting latent classes and characterization are shown in Figure 1. By gender, ELA profiles were associated with cardiometabolic factors. E.g., females with high adversity had greater odds of obesity than those with a low adversity (OR=2.27, 95% CI: 1.39 - 3.72). Alternatively, males experiencing household dysfunction had lower odds of high cholesterol than those with low adversity (OR=0.39, 95% CI: 0.19 - 0.80). Associations were not explained by age, childhood economic hardship, nativity, and Hispanic/Latino background. ELA profiles were not associated with pre-HF (e.g., high adversity OR=0.60, household dysfunction OR=0.75; all p 〉 0.05). Conclusions: Distinct patterns of ELA among Hispanic/Latino adults vary by gender; females experience more complex and varied patterns of adversity. Exposure to specific patterns of ELA were associated with several cardiometabolic outcomes, but no associations were found with any measures of pre-HF.

    Abstract: In patients with ischemic stroke (IS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cortical superficial siderosis (cSS), there are few data regarding the risk of future cerebrovascular events and also about the benefits and safety of antithrombotic drugs for secondary prevention. We investigated the associations of cSS and stroke risk in patients with recent IS or TIA. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the Microbleeds International Collaborative Network (MICON) database. We selected patients with IS or TIA from cohorts who had MRI-assessed cSS, available data on antithrombotic treatments, recurrent cerebrovascular events (intracranial hemorrhage [ICrH], IS, or any stroke [ICrH or IS] ), and mortality. We calculated incidence rates (IRs) and performed univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses. Results Of 12,669 patients (mean age 70.4 ± 12.3 years, 57.3% men), cSS was detected in 273 (2.2%) patients. During a mean follow-up of 24 ± 17 months, IS was more frequent than ICrH in both cSS (IR 57.1 vs 14.6 per 1,000 patient-years) and non-cSS (33.7 vs 6.3 per 1,000 patient-years) groups. Compared with the non-cSS group, cSS was associated with any stroke on multivariable analysis {IR 83 vs 42 per 1,000 patient-years, adjusted hazard ratio [HR] for cSS 1.62 (95% CI: 1.14–2.28; p = 0.006)}. This association was not significant in subgroups of patients treated with antiplatelet drugs (n = 6,554) or with anticoagulants (n = 4,044). Patients with cSS who were treated with both antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants (n = 1,569) had a higher incidence of ICrH (IR 107.5 vs 4.9 per 1,000 patient-years, adjusted HR 13.26; 95% CI: 2.90–60.63; p = 0.001) and of any stroke (IR 198.8 vs 34.7 per 1,000 patient-years, adjusted HR 5.03; 95% CI: 2.03–12.44; p 〈 0.001) compared with the non-cSS group. Discussion Patients with IS or TIA with cSS are at increased risk of stroke (ICrH or IS) during follow-up; the risk of IS exceeds that of ICrH for patients receiving antiplatelet or anticoagulant treatment alone, but the risk of ICrH exceeds that of IS in patients receiving both treatments. The findings suggest that either antiplatelet or anticoagulant treatment alone should not be avoided in patients with cSS, but combined antithrombotic therapy might be hazardous. Our findings need to be confirmed by randomized clinical trials.
