Timing of Cardiac Contractility Modulation Therapy Implementation
In this retrospective registry analysis, cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) improved functional status and left ventricular ejection fraction whether implanted early or later. Implantation within 12 months after CCM‐eligible heart failure diagnosis might be associated with better survival, greater ejection‐fraction improvement, and fewer heart ...

ABSTRACT Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces endotoxemia‐associated inflammatory cardiac injury rather than classical viral or autoimmune myocarditis. Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate (S1P) regulates cardiovascular and immune responses, predominantly through S1P receptors, but whether it also modulates macrophage‐associated inflammatory signaling during LPS ...

Renin–Angiotensin System Activation Drives Early Cardiorenal Dysfunction in Normotensive Prediabetes
Increased angiotensin‐converting enzyme 1 (ACE1) expression in perivascular and perirenal adipose tissues of prediabetic rats contributes to early cardiovascular and cardiorenal deterioration in the absence of obesity and hypertension. Systemic Angiotensin II exacerbates the observed detrimental effects of prediabetes.

“Two‐For‐One”: 4D Cardiac and Pulmonary MR Imaging From a Single Acquisition Using bSTAR
ABSTRACT Purpose To generate 4D (3D+time) images of both the heart and lungs using a single volumetric radial free‐breathing bSSFP dual echo acquisition (bSTAR) with two image reconstructions within a single pipeline deployed inline at 0.55 and 1.5 T.

Evaluating Perfusion Quantification for Phase‐Resolved Functional Lung MRI Using Gaussian Filtering
Current PREFUL perfusion quantification uses a slice‐wise median for the maximal blood exchange fraction ΔS, limiting regional information. Gaussian filtering (σ = 1.5) ΔS in perfusion calculation adds regional information and improves intrascan and interscan repeatability while preserving global and voxel‐wise correlations with DCE‐derived pulmonary ...

In age‐associated calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), human valve tissues and calcifying human valvular interstitial cells (hVICs) exhibit senescence‐associated features, while calcifying hVICs hypersecrete mitochondrial‐derived vesicles (MDVs). Donut‐shaped mitochondria serve as physical platforms for MDV budding, whereas Gas6 promotes Ca2+–CaMKII ...
