In contrast to the ABYSS investigators’ interpretation of the primary results of their trial, we believe that β-blockers can be safely discontinued in the majority of patients after an uncomplicated myocardial infarction. However, in individuals developing symptoms of angina or heart failure, β-blocker treatment remains one of several guideline-recommended therapies.

The burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing worldwide; however, most existing data on AF epidemiology are from Western regions. According to our analyses, the estimated absolute prevalence of AF in the Asia–Pacific region in 2023 was approximately 80 million, which is much higher than has been calculated for other global regions.

Healthy, uncontaminated soils and clean water support all life on Earth and are essential for human health. Chemical pollution of soil, water, air and food is a major environmental threat, leading to an estimated 9 million premature deaths worldwide. The Global Burden of Disease study estimated that pollution was responsible for 5.5 million deaths related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in 2019. Robust evidence has linked multiple pollutants, including heavy metals, pesticides, dioxins and toxic synthetic chemicals, with increased risk of CVD, and some reports suggest an association between microplastic and nanoplastic particles and CVD. Pollutants in soil diminish its capacity to produce food, leading to crop impurities, malnutrition and disease, and they can seep into rivers, worsening water pollution. Deforestation, wildfires and climate change exacerbate pollution by triggering soil erosion and releasing sequestered pollutants into the air and water. Despite their varied chemical makeup, pollutants induce CVD through common pathophysiological mechanisms involving oxidative stress and inflammation. In this Review, we provide an overview of the relationship between soil and water pollution and human health and pathology, and discuss the prevalence of soil and water pollutants and how they contribute to adverse health effects, focusing on CVD. In this Review, Münzel and colleagues describe the adverse effects of soil and water pollution, including heavy metal, pesticide, and microplastic and nanoplastic pollution, on cardiovascular health and provide an overview of the eco-disruptive causes of this pollution.

A study using advanced single-cell technologies has broadened our understanding of the diversity and complexity of brain endothelial cells by uncovering new endothelial subtypes and transcriptional patterns. These findings offer insights into potential therapeutic targets and emphasize the need for further research on vascular lineages and neurovascular interactions.

Lysosomes have a central role in the disposal of extracellular and intracellular cargo and also function as metabolic sensors and signalling platforms in the immunometabolic reprogramming of macrophages and other immune cells in atherosclerosis. Lysosomes can rapidly sense the presence of nutrients within immune cells, thereby switching from catabolism of extracellular material to the recycling of intracellular cargo. Such a fine-tuned degradative response supports the generation of metabolic building blocks through effectors such as mTORC1 or TFEB. By coupling nutrients to downstream signalling and metabolism, lysosomes serve as a crucial hub for cellular function in innate and adaptive immune cells. Lysosomal dysfunction is now recognized to be a hallmark of atherogenesis. Perturbations in nutrient-sensing and signalling have profound effects on the capacity of immune cells to handle cholesterol, perform phagocytosis and efferocytosis, and limit the activation of the inflammasome and other inflammatory pathways. Strategies to improve lysosomal function hold promise as novel modulators of the immunoinflammatory response associated with atherosclerosis. In this Review, we describe the crosstalk between lysosomal biology and immune cell function and polarization, with a particular focus on cellular immunometabolic reprogramming in the context of atherosclerosis. In this Review, the authors describe the bidirectional crosstalk between lysosome biology and immune cell function and polarization, focusing on immunometabolic reprogramming in the context of atherosclerosis and highlighting knowledge gaps and potential therapeutic strategies targeting immune cell lysosomes.
