Porphyromonas gingivalis aggravates atherosclerotic plaque instability by promoting lipid-laden macrophage necroptosis

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
At advanced phases of atherosclerosis, the rupture and thrombogenesis of vulnerable plaques emerge as primary triggers for acute cardiovascular events and fatalities. Pathogenic infection such as periodontitis-associated Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) has

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Folate Receptor–Targeted Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography to Detect Activated Macrophages in Atherosclerosis: Can It Distinguish Vulnerable from Stable Atherosclerotic Plaques?

Molecular Imaging, 2014
The need for noninvasive imaging to distinguish stable from vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques is evident. Activated macrophages play a role in atherosclerosis and express folate receptor folate receptor β (FR-β).

Association of BMI with adherence and outcome in heart failure patients treated with wearable cardioverter defibrillator

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1295-1303, April 2025.
Abstract Background Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet an ‘obesity paradox’ has been observed in various CVD contexts. The impact of obesity on heart failure (HF) patients treated with a wearable cardioverter‐defibrillator (WCD) remains underexplored.

Detection of monosodium urate depositions and atherosclerotic plaques in the cardiovascular system by dual-energy computed tomography

Heliyon
Aim: The study aimed to explore the relationship between urate deposition and surrounding atherosclerotic plaques, and to confirm the contribution of urate deposition to the development of coronary atherosclerosis.

Connecting the dots: A narrative review of the relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1119-1131, April 2025.
Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...

Causal correlations between inflammatory proteins and heart failure: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1374-1385, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Inflammation plays a critical role in both the development and progression of heart failure (HF), which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the causality between specific inflammation‐related proteins and HF risk remains unclear.

Atherosclerotic plaque features relevant to rupture-risk detected by clinical photon-counting CT ex vivo: a proof-of-concept study

European Radiology Experimental
Background To identify subjects with rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques before thrombotic events occur is an unmet clinical need. Thus, this proof-of-concept study aims to determine which rupture-prone plaque features can be detected using clinically ...

Matching TGF‐β1 Activation With Stress‐Responsive Charge‐Reversal Hydrogel Microspheres for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis

Exploration, EarlyView.
Based on the interaction between the weakly cross‐linked disulfide bonds that break under stress and charge‐reversal messenger molecules, we herein achieved nanoparticle charge reversal under stress and constructed a stress‐responsive charge‐reversal hydrogel microsphere system using microfluidic technology.

CD137 Signaling Modulates Vein Graft Atherosclerosis by Driving T-Cell Activation and Regulating Intraplaque Angiogenesis

JACC: Basic to Translational Science
Summary: Atherosclerotic vein graft failure still presents a major problem. T-cells have been identified as one of the most abundant immune cell subset in atherosclerotic plaques. Their role, however, remains only partly understood.
