A novel GWAS locus influences microvascular response to mental stress and predicts adverse cardiovascular events.

Excessive peripheral microvascular constriction during acute psychologicalstress reflects similar changes in coronary blood flow and is a predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Among individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD), we sought to determine if genetic factors contribute to the degree of microvascular constriction during mental stress. A total of 580 stable CAD individuals from two prospective cohort studies underwent mental stress testing. Digital pulse wave amplitude was continuously measured and the stress/rest (sPAT) ratio of pulse wave amplitude was calculated. Race stratified genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of sPAT-ratio were conducted using linear regression of additive genetic models. A trans-ethnic meta-analysis integrated the four sets of GWAS results. Participants were followed for the outcome of recurrent cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, heart failure, revascularization, and CV death) for a median of 5years. We used Wei-Lin-Weissfeld (WLW) model to assess the association between sPAT-ratio with recurrent events. Mean age was 63 ± 9. We identified three SNPs in linkage disequilibrium, closely related to chr7:111,666,943T > C (rs6466396) that were associated with sPAT-ratio (p = 6.68E-09). Participants homozygous for the T allele had 80% higher risk of incident adverse events (HR 1.8, 95% CI, 1.4-2.2). Also, participants with a lower sPAT-ratio (< median) had a higher adverse event rate, hazard ratio (HR) = 1.3, [95%confidence interval (CI), 1.1-1.6]. However, adjustment for the genotypes did not substantially alter the impact of sPAT ratio on adverse outcome rate.In conclusion,we have identified a genetic basis for stress-induced vasomotion. The 3 linked variants modulate vasoconstriction during mental stress may have a prognostic importance.

Pulse transmission time and amplitude of digital pulse wave determined by fingertip plethysmography as a surrogate marker of brachial artery flowmediated dilatation.

To assess the changes in blood vessel stiffness and digital pulse wave amplitude because of flowmediated dilatation, and to explore how these two variables change when endothelial dysfunction is experimentally induced. The experimental study was conducted at the departments of physiology at the College of Medicine, Mustansiriyah University, and the College of Medicine, Al-Iraqia University, Baghdad, Iraq, from October 14, 2021, to May 31, 2022, and comprised healthy young males who were subjected to the flow-mediated dilatation technique on the left brachial artery. Pulse transit time and the amplitude of the digital pulse wave were measured during reactive hyperaemia for 2.5 minutes from the left middle finger using a piezoelectric pressure sensor and a simultaneous Lead I electrocardiogram. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) was induced by oscillatory and retrograde shear rates. The correlation between variables was calculated in Excel running on the Windows operating system. There were 10 second-year medical students with mean age 22±0 years and mean body mass index 25.7±4.8kg/m2. During reactive hyperaemia, pulse transit time was significantly increased by 3-5% in both normal endothelium and experimentally induced endothelial dysfunction relative to the pre-occluded artery, and the difference was not significant (p>0.05). Digital pulse wave amplitude increased significantly in normal endothelium relative to the pre-occluded artery (p<0.05), but not in experimentally-induced endothelial dysfunction (p>0.05). The pulse transit time and digital pulse wave amplitudes of the photo plethysmography signal may be used to detect changes in vessel wall diameter and tone throughout the reactive hyperaemia process. Digital pulse wave amplitude was better able to detect experimentally-induced endothelial dysfunction, as assessed by the flowmediated dilatation protocol, than pulse transit time.

Investigating the correlation of the second derivative of digital pulse wave (DPW) with QT variability index in women.

To determine the correlation between the second derivative of digital pulse wave and the QT variability index. The cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 at the Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, University of Mustansiriyah, Baghdad, Iraq, and comprised healthy women. Samples were raised by simple random technique. Digital pulse waves were captured using a fingertip pulse wave transducer. Lab Chart Pro version 7.2 was used to automatically detect and quantify the amplitude of A, B, C, D and E waves expressed by the second derivative. QT interval of each beat was recorded by electrocardiogram, and was calculated automatically via Lab chart Pro version 7.2 without averaging. Data was spread out on Microsoft Office Excel 2013 and analysed using SPSS version 26. There were 55 women with mean age 37.4±9.9 years and mean body mass index 31.2±7.2kg/m2. Age was positively associated with QT variability index and normalised wave amplitude values of B/A and (B-C-D-E)/A (p<0.05).QT variability index was positively associated with the normalised values of the second derivative of digital pulse wave B/A and (B-C-D-E)/A (p<0.05). QT variability index I was significantly correlated with second derivative of photoplethysmogram, and both were affected by age and arterial stiffness.

Pulse transit time as an index of vascular reactivity.

Pulse transit time (PTT) is a non-invasive method for measuring arterial compliance and stiffness, which are excellent predictors of cardiovascular disease. This study aims to determine whether PTT can be used to precisely monitor vascular reactivity in response to changes in hand posture and whether the digital pulse wave index of time-to-maximum slope (TMS) is a suitable alternative to PTT. Fifteen healthy, 22-year-old males participated in the study. The PTT was monitored from electrocardiogram (ECG) to digital pulse wave (DPW), and the morphological variable TMS of the DPW wave was estimated in beat-tobeat intervals for the individuals while their arms were raised and dropped. The results demonstrated that the PTT increased significantly with elevating the hand, and the correlation probability of the second polynomial fitness equation neared infinite. In addition, the PTT significantly correlated (P < 0.007) with the TMS of the DPW throughout the hand motions. The data indicate that PTT can represent local vascular responses during changes in hand position. In this study, we developed a new DPW index and suggest a TMS index as a viable substitute for PTT.

CFDI: Coordinated false data injection attack in active distribution network

AbstractThe active distribution network (ADN) can obtain measurement data, estimate system states, and control distributed energy resources (DERs) and flexible loads to ensure voltage stability. However, the ADN is more vulnerable to cyber attacks due to the recent wave of digitization and automation efforts. In this article, false data injection (FDI) attacks are focused on and they are classified into two types, that is, type I attacks on measurement data and type II attacks on control commands. After studying the impact of these two FDI attacks on the ADN, a new threat is revealed called coordinated FDI attack, which can maximize the voltage deviation by coordinating type I and type II FDI attacks. From the attacker's perspective, the scheme of CFDI is proposed and an algorithm is developed to find the optimal attack strategy. The feasibility of CFDI attacks has been validated on a smart distribution testbed. Moreover, simulation results on an ADN benchmark have demonstrated that CFDI attacks could cause remarkable voltage deviation that may deteriorate the stability of the distribution network. Moreover, the impact of CFDI attacks is higher than pure type I or type II attacks. To mitigate the threat, some countermeasures against CFDI attacks are also proposed.
