BACKGROUND: Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes is a potentially curative strategy for ischemic heart ...

BACKGROUND: Fontan circulatory failure (FCF) is a chronic state in palliated single ventricle heart disease with high morbidity and mortality rates, including heart failure, multisystem end-organ ...

BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism (PA), an overt form of renin-independent aldosterone production, leads to a disproportionately high rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Mounting ...

Whether the early use of sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have cardioprotective effects following acute myocardial infarction is unknown. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the association ...

Endothelial activation promotes the release of procoagulant extracellular vesicles and inflammatory mediators from specialized storage granules. Endothelial membrane exocytosis is controlled by ...

Versican, a cardiac fibroblast–derived extracellular matrix component, was upregulated after neonatal myocardial injury and promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation. Conditional knockout of Vcan in ...

Evidence of myocardial injury does not necessitate a diagnosis of myocarditis. When a cardiac troponin level is over the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit, 6 there exists a spectrum of ...

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a vascular disorder caused by occlusive atherosclerosis, which commonly impairs blood flow to the lower extremities. The prevalence of PAD is increasing globally ...

In STRONG-HF trial (Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Rapid Optimization, Helped by NT-proBNP Testing, of Heart Failure Therapies) patients with acute HF were randomized just before discharge to ...

BACKGROUND: Aortic dissection (AD) is a fatal cardiovascular disorder without effective medications due to unclear pathogenic mechanisms. Bestrophin3 (Best3), the predominant isoform of bestrophin ...

Macrophage heterogeneity plays a pivotal role in the complex landscape of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, influencing plaque development. The role of macrophages in atherosclerotic plaque ...
