Hederagenin Attenuates Cardiac Remodeling by Targeting Phosphodiesterase 9A
ABSTRACT Background and Aim New therapeutic strategies for heart failure are urgently needed. The protective effects of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)—protein kinase G (PKG) pathway on heart have been widely reported. Despite phosphodiesterase 9A (PDE9A) inhibitors combating cardiac remodeling, clinically available drugs are lacking. Hederagenin

Betulin Protects Against Cardiac Hypertrophy by Improving AMPK/Nrf2‐Dependent Mitochondrial Function
Betulin effectively mitigates pressure overload‐induced cardiac hypertrophy in both Ang II‐infused and TAC‐operated mice. Mechanistically, betulin activated AMPK phosphorylation, promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation, and upregulated antioxidant genes (HO‐1 and NQO‐1), thereby restoring mitochondrial function in cardiomyocytes.

Possible Deslanoside‐Induced Left Posterior Fascicular Ventricular Tachycardia: A Case Report
A 73‐year‐old man with paroxysmal AF and no structural heart disease who developed left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia (LPFVT) shortly after intravenous Deslanoside administration for rate control. Highlights: cardiac glycosides, though effective for rate control, may occasionally precipitate Purkinje‐related ventricular tachycardia ...

Cardiac remodelling and fibrosis after myocardial infarction or during chronic diseases, such as arterial and pulmonary hypertension or diabetes mellitus, continue to be the more important prognostic factors in determining survival, and so the search for effective anti‐fibrotic interventions is an important target for research and therapy in cardiology.

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists: Efficacy and safety in chronic kidney disease
Abstract The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) has a multifaceted role in normal physiologic functions. However, research has uncovered the deleterious consequences of overactivation of the MR. It has been implicated in chronic kidney disease (CKD) via its strong association with glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, proteinuria, and decline in ...

In this retrospective, single‐centre study conducted in patients with acute pericarditis referred to the Emergency Department, a significant proportion of patients experienced long‐term complications, especially recurrences. Drug doses were compliant with guidelines in a limited number of patients at admission and increased at discharge. Diabetes, COPD,

Abstract The objective of this work is to assess the effects and potential process of paternal acute sleep deprivation on cardiac function in their offspring. Male and female C57BL/6N mice aged 8–9 weeks (n = 4–5 mice/group) were used. Male mice were selected to construct an acute sleep deprivation model using the modified multiple platform method ...
