Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Associations Between Family History of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, and Dyslipidemia and Their Prevalence and Incidence: Toranomon Hospital Health Management Center Study (TOPICS24).
To examine the association between a positive family history (parents, siblings, and grandparents) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, and dyslipidemia and their prevalence and incidence in the same population. ⋯ Obtaining a family history of these diseases was useful in identifying high-risk groups. Also, for T2DM, the influence of a positive family history was strongest with a marked increase in risk with overlap of affected family members, suggesting that a family history is useful for early detection and prevention.

ReviewDecoding Obesity Management Medications and the Journey to Informed Treatment Choices for Patients.
Incretin-based obesity management medications (OMMs) fill a treatment gap in a stepped-care model between lifestyle change alone and metabolic bariatric surgery, resulting in weight loss of 15% to 20% of body weight. Public interest in and demand for OMMs has recently increased dramatically. ⋯ When considering strategies to aid patients in decision making about obesity treatment, several considerations warrant discussion because patients may have unrealistic perceptions about risk vs efficacy and may hold numerous misconceptions about long-term behavior change and outcomes. This article outlines considerations for informed obesity treatment decision making and reviews aspects of obesity treatment specific to OMMs, including adverse effects, patient expectations for treatment outcome, equitable access to care, the impact of weight bias on patient care, the risk of weight recurrence, and the need for long-term multicomponent treatment to achieve weight loss and weight maintenance.

Randomized Controlled TrialFactors Associated With Enrollment to a Decentralized Study.
To assess whether the mode and formatting of invitations affect enrollment in a large, decentralized study. ⋯ Invitations via EHR rather than email facilitate enrollment to large, decentralized studies. Enhanced display of invitation material did not increase enrollment. Lower enrollment rates in men, younger individuals, non-White and Hispanic individuals, and rural residents highlight a continued need to focus enrollment strategies on these subgroups.

ReviewCardiovascular Health Considerations for Primary Care Physicians Treating Breast Cancer Survivors.
Breast cancer (BC) survivors are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and require their primary care physicians to manage their long-term general medical care, including cardiovascular (CV) health. Yet, evidence exists that some primary care physicians possess insufficient knowledge about survivorship care. With the goal of bridging these knowledge gaps, a PubMed review was conducted from July 7, 2020, through October 2, 2020, with an updated PubMed review from January 3, 2024, through April 28, 2024, focusing on CV health considerations in the primary care of BC survivors. ⋯ In this review, results are summarized from studies that report the presence of CV risk factors and CVD in BC survivors. Also described are the CV effects of BC therapies (chemotherapy, hormonal agents, targeted therapies, and radiotherapy) and the type of CV evaluation (cardiac imaging and measurement of biomarkers) that these patients may need. Primary care physicians have an important role in managing the CV health of BC survivors from preventing, assessing, and managing CV risk factors to referring patients to appropriate specialists when needed.

Prevalence and Incidence of Type 1 Brugada Pattern: A 30-Year Experience at Mayo Clinic.
To identify the incidence and prevalence of type 1 Brugada pattern at Mayo Clinic during 30 years. ⋯ The incidence of type 1 Brugada pattern at Mayo Clinic has increased during 3 decades. The prevalence of type 1 Brugada pattern in the United States is higher than previously reported. Type 1 Brugada pattern in Black and Hispanic populations is more common than previously suspected.
