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 ...
Comments and feedback on AHA/ASA Scientific Statements and Guidelines should be directed to the AHA/ASA Manuscript Oversight ...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality increased by 78%, rising from 72.4 to 128.7 per 100 000 (2017–2022), with the greatest ...
BACKGROUND: Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity has a variable incidence, and the development of left ventricular dysfunction is preceded by elevations in cardiac troponin concentrations.
Versican, a cardiac fibroblast–derived extracellular matrix component, was upregulated after neonatal myocardial injury and promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation. Conditional knockout of Vcan in ...
BACKGROUND: Evaluation of whether dyspnea has a cardiac cause is essential. Guidelines from 2016 were reported to result in a ...
Cardiac catheterization is a test during which flexible tubes called catheters are inserted into the heart via an artery or vein under x-ray guidance to diagnose and sometimes treat certain heart ...
Cardiomyocyte maturation from neonatal to adult stage involves complex changes in myocyte morphology, proliferative capacity, metabolism, and physiology. However, the underlying regulatory mechanism ...
BACKGROUND: Plasma NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) is commonly used to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but its diagnostic performance in the ...
Guideline-directed medical therapies and guideline-directed nonpharmacological therapies improve quality of life and survival in patients with heart failure (HF), but eligible patients, particularly ...
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor in the development of atherogenesis. METTL4 (methyltransferase-like protein 4) mediates N6- methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA) of mammalian mitochondrial ...
