    Abstract Recent studies have found an association between high volumes of physical activity and increased levels of coronary artery calcification (CAC) among older male endurance athletes, yet the underlying mechanisms have remained largely elusive. Potential mechanisms include greater exposure to inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species and oxidised low-density lipoproteins, as acute strenuous physical activity has been found to enhance their systemic release. Other possibilities include post-exercise elevations in circulating parathyroid hormone, which can modify the amount and morphology of calcific plaque, and long-term exposure to non-laminar blood flow within the coronary arteries during vigorous physical activity, particularly in individuals with pre-existing atherosclerosis. Further, although the association has only been identified in men, the role of testosterone in this process remains unclear. This brief review discusses the association between high-volume endurance exercise and CAC in older men, elaborates on the potential mechanisms underlying the increased calcification, and provides clinical implications and recommendations for those at risk.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Lipids and lipoproteins have long been known to contribute to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular calcification. One theme of recent work is the study of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], a lipoprotein particle similar to LDL-cholesterol that carries a long apoprotein tail and most of the circulating oxidized phospholipids.
    Recent findings: In-vitro studies show that Lp(a) stimulates osteoblastic differentiation and mineralization of vascular smooth muscle cells, while the association of Lp(a) with coronary artery calcification continues to have varying results, possibly because of the widely varying threshold levels of Lp(a) chosen for association analyses. Another emerging area in the field of cardiovascular calcification is pathological endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), the process whereby endothelial cell transition into multipotent mesenchymal cells, some of which differentiate into osteochondrogenic cells and mineralize. The effects of lipids and lipoproteins on EndMT suggest that they modulate cardiovascular calcification through multiple mechanisms. There are also emerging trends in imaging of calcific vasculopathy, including: intravascular optical coherence tomography for quantifying plaque characteristics, PET with a radiolabeled NaF tracer, with either CT or MRI to detect coronary plaque vulnerability.
    Summary: Recent work in this field includes studies of Lp(a), EndMT, and new imaging techniques.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Cardiovascular calcification, a common feature of atherosclerotic lesions, has long been known to associate with cardiovascular risk. The roles of lipoproteins in atherosclerosis are also established, and lipid-modifying therapies have shown capacity for plaque regression. However, the association of lipid-modifying therapies with calcification is more complex, and currently no medical therapies have been found to reverse or attenuate calcification in patients. In this review, we summarize recent developments in our understanding of the interplay between lipids and cardiovascular calcification, as well as new imaging modalities for assessing calcified atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability.
    Recent findings: Recent clinical studies have highlighted the associations of lipoprotein subtypes, such as low-density and high-density lipoprotein particles, as well as lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], with coronary calcification and calcific aortic valve disease. Further, evidence continues to emerge for the utility of fused 18F-sodium fluoride positron-emission tomographic and computed tomographic (18F-NaF PET/CT) imaging in characterizing the microarchitecture and vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaque, in both humans and animal models.
    Summary: The relationship between lipids and cardiovascular calcification is complex, and new imaging techniques, such as 18F-NaF PET/CT imaging, may allow for better identification of disease-modifying therapies and prediction of calcified plaque progression and stability to help guide clinical management.

    Abstract Purpose of the review: Commercial wearable biosensors are commonly used among athletes and highly active individuals, although their value in sports cardiology is not well established. In this review, we discuss the evidence for the current applications of wearables and provide our outlook for promising future directions of this emerging field.
    Recent findings: The integration of routine assessment of physiological parameters, activity data, and features such as electrocardiogram recording has generated excitement over a role for wearables to help diagnose and monitor cardiovascular disease. Presently, however, there are significant challenges limiting their routine clinical use. While studies suggest that wearable-derived data may help guide training, evidence for the use of wearables in guiding exercise regimens for individuals with cardiovascular disease is lacking. Further, there is a paucity of data to demonstrate its efficacy in detecting exercise-related arrhythmias or conditions associated with sudden cardiac death. Further technological developments may lead to a greater potential for wearables to aid in sports cardiology practice.
    Summary: The ability to collect vast amounts of physiological information can help athletes personalize training regimens. However, interpretation of these data and separating the signal from the noise are paramount, especially when used in a clinical setting. While there are currently no standardized approaches for the use of wearable-derived data in sports cardiology, we outline three domains in which they could guide the care of athletes in the future: (1) optimizing athletic performance (2) guiding exercise in athletes with known cardiovascular disease, and (3) screening for cardiovascular disease.

    Abstract Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) is defined by persistent symptoms >3-4 weeks after onset of COVID-19. The mechanism of these persistent symptoms is distinct from acute COVID-19 although not completely understood despite the high incidence of PACS. Cardiovascular symptoms such as chest pain and palpitations commonly occur in PACS, but the underlying cause of symptoms is infrequently known. While autopsy studies have shown that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) rarely causes direct myocardial injury, several syndromes such as myocarditis, pericarditis, and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome have been implicated in PACS. Additionally, patients hospitalized with acute COVID-19 who display biomarker evidence of myocardial injury may have underlying coronary artery disease revealed by the physiological stress of SARS-CoV-2 infection and may benefit from medical optimization. We review what is known about PACS and the cardiovascular system and propose a framework for evaluation and management of related symptoms.

    Abstract Post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (PASC) infection is particularly concerning to athletes who place a high premium on cardiovascular performance and competition. This initial case series shows the overlap between PASC and orthostatic intolerance in athletes, reveals the diagnostic challenges, and highlights the role of graded exercise training in this population.
