Future functional studies will be needed to better disentangle the role of increased TNNI3K kinase function in determining a dilated cardiomyopathy and atrial/supraventricular arrhythmia phenotype, ...
PINNACLE FLX (Protection Against Embolism for Nonvalvular AF Patients: Investigational Device Evaluation of the WATCHMAN FLX LAA Closure Technology) demonstrated improved outcomes and low incidence of ...
Cardiolipin is a mitochondrial-specific phospholipid that maintains integrity of the electron transport chain (ETC) and plays a central role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Tafazzin is an ...
Lymphatic vessels function to drain interstitial fluid from a variety of tissues. Although shear stress generated by fluid flow is known to trigger lymphatic expansion and remodeling, the molecular ...
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a critical interface separating the central nervous system from the peripheral circulation, ensuring brain homeostasis and function. Recent research has unveiled a ...
Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has emerged as an important therapeutic target for ischemic heart disease, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. At present, there is no ...
Smooth muscle AT 1A (angiotensin II type 1A) receptor appears essential for the development of vascular remodeling including adventitial fibrosis in mice with Ang II (angiotensin II) infusion. Smooth ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) models applied to 12-lead ECG waveforms can predict atrial fibrillation (AF), a heritable and morbid arrhythmia. However, the factors forming the basis of risk predictions ...
A. Issues Related to B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and N-Terminal proB-Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) Measurement…e96 1. Scope of BNP and NT-proBNP Assays…e96 2. Biological Implications for ...
The classification of cardiogenic shock (CS) has evolved from a singular cold-and wet-hemodynamic profile. Data from registries and clinical trials have contributed to a broader recognition that ...
Objective—Diminished cholesterol efflux activity of apolipoprotein B (apoB)–depleted serum is associated with prevalent coronary artery disease, but its prognostic value for incident cardiovascular ...
Several studies in animal models and human cohorts have recently suggested that HDLs (high-density lipoproteins) not only modulate innate immune responses but also adaptative immune responses, ...
