Indications for aortic valve replacement can be summarized into two disease processes, moderate to severe aortic stenosis (with or without symptoms) and moderate to severe aortic insufficiency. Fortunately, standards of care differ with each physician and so indications for aortic valve replacement are not clearly defined. To understand how the surgeon

Kdm4a downregulation restrains excessive cardiac interstitial fibrosis and remodeling by depressing the premature senescence of fibroblasts in the advanced stage after MI but does not affect early ventricular rupture. It verified that Kdm4a downregulation promotes autophagy in premature senescent fibroblasts by increasing the H3K9m3 modification of the
