BACKGROUND: Penetrance and risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) are increasingly recognized as being genotype specific. Therefore, ...

BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that exposures to air pollution and nonoptimal temperatures are associated with a ...

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have highlighted the deleterious role of high phosphate intake in hypertension by means of ...

Background: Major noncardiac surgery carries high rates of postoperative myocardial injury and other complications. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) was reported to decrease these complications.

The recent EARLY TAVR trial (Evaluation of TAVR Compared to Surveillance for Patients With Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis) investigated the effect of early intervention with transcatheter aortic ...

The ductus arteriosus is a normal vascular connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta that is essential to fetal circulation. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) prevalence is inversely ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is one of the most common forms of heart failure; its prevalence is increasing, and outcomes are worsening. Affected patients often experience ...

Cardiomyocytes in the adult human heart show a regenerative capacity, with an annual renewal rate of ≈0.5%. Whether this regenerative capacity of human cardiomyocytes is employed in heart failure has ...

Over the past century, several landmark US legal cases have shaped the landscape of patient autonomy, emphasizing individuals’ rights to make their own decisions about their medical treatment. While ...

Strengths of the current study include intravascular ultrasound pullback from both the LAD and LCX. Limitations include less complex bifurcation disease with only 2 (0.7%) patients needing rotational ...

This study has limitations. The disproportionate reduction in gWAT weight between ATGLi and CR suggests that ATGLi may be superior in improving diastolic dysfunction due to its stronger anti-obesity ...

Several widely recognized AF risk factors, listed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, are related to pulmonary issues, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), chronic obstructive ...
