Title: Metabolic, renal, and inflammatory crosstalk in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: Evolving landscape and future directions.
Authors: Harris Avgousti, Matthew J. Feinstein

This recent publication in Atherosclerosis explores the complex interplay between metabolic dysfunction, renal impairment, and systemic inflammation in driving atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The review highlights how shared molecular pathways—such as oxidative stress, cytokine cascades, and metabolic-renal feedback loops—converge to accelerate plaque progression and vascular injury.
The authors emphasize a paradigm shift toward integrated, multi-system prevention strategies, including anti-inflammatory therapies, metabolic modulation, and kidney function preservation. This evolving understanding holds promise for personalized ASCVD management and novel therapeutic targets.
