The field of cardio-immunology has gained significant attention as heart disease has become the leading cause of death globally over the past two decades. Despite advancements in managing hemodynamic ...

These include effects on arterial smooth muscle cells that cause intense peripheral vasoconstriction and stimulation of cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts. The latter promotes phenotypic changes in ...

show that bone-marrow-derived macrophages contribute to heart repair following myocardial infarction by secreting GPNMB, which binds to the orphan receptor GPR39 to improve myocyte contractility ...

The heart failure is diagnosed in the period between the last few weeks before delivery, and the first few months after ...

Computational models are used throughout in association with experimental approaches. (1) Modeling of Na and Ca homeostasis in atrial and ventricular myocytes, to predict the consequences of local [Ca ...

The Sphere-9 and Sphere-360 catheters both use their nitinol lattice as a single spherical electrode to deliver energy for ablation. Sphere-360 only delivers pulsed field energy to kill cardiac ...

Oct. 30, 2024 — New research suggests older adults wait 3-6 months after a heart attack before elective noncardiac surgery to reduce the risk of serious complications like stroke or another heart ...

DESIGN Detailed macroscopic and histological examination at 19 segments of the left and right ventricle and the left atrial free wall. PATIENTS 72 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who had ...

Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has emerged as an important therapeutic ... Plasma samples were collected before and after PCI (6 and 24 h) for RIPK3 concentration measurement. Cultured ...

are expressed in cardiac muscle and released into blood following myocardial cell death. Several distinct pathobiological mechanisms leading to elevated troponin values have been suggested, not all of ...
