The identification and understanding of therapeutic targets for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is of fundamental importance given its global health and economic burden. Inhibition of ANGPTL3 ...

There is a lack of evidence regarding the association between plasma phenylacetylglutamine levels and lesion severity and clinical prognosis in patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction ...

Background— Heparin, used clinically as an anticoagulant, also has antiinflammatory properties and has been described to inhibit interferon (IFN)-γ responses in endothelial cells. We investigated the ...

In 2012, the American Heart Association (AHA) published the first Scientific Statement addressing the evaluation and management of neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with congenital heart disease ...

Taken together, these seminal studies revealed the potential of gene targeting to the heart and opened a new era in cardiovascular research, characterized by an explosion of work in different mouse ...

Coronary microvascular dysfunction plays a major role in patients with cardiac ischemia without flow limiting epicardial coronary stenosis, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, aortic valve stenosis (AS), and ...

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 ...

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 ...

While our understanding of the single-cell gene expression patterns underlying the transformation of vascular cell types during the progression of atherosclerosis is rapidly improving, the clinical ...

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 ...

Rationale:The mechanism of functional restoration by stem cell therapy remains poorly understood. Novel manganese-enhanced MRI and bioluminescence reporter gene imaging were applied to follow ...

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 ...
