Beyond daylight: emergent cardiac catheterization in congenital heart disease during evenings and nights: clinical demand and logistical realities [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundEmergency cardiac catheterizations (ECC) during off-hours are high risk due to limited staffing and resources. To date, no systematic data are available on the outcomes of such emergent procedures for congenital heart disease (CHD).ObjectivesTo

Integrative transcriptomic, proteomic, and machine learning approach to identifying feature genes of atrial fibrillation using atrial samples from patients with valvular heart disease

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia with poorly understood mechanisms. We aimed to investigate the biological mechanism of AF and to discover feature genes by analyzing multi-omics data and by applying a machine learning ...

Metformin improves lipid metabolism and reverses the Warburg effect in a canine model of chronic atrial fibrillation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Previous studies demonstrated impaired lipid metabolism and augmented aerobic glycolysis in AF. The authors aimed to investigate whether the use of metformin, an AMPK activator, could reverse this metabolic remodeling in chronic AF and to ...

Metformin regulates lipid metabolism in a canine model of atrial fibrillation through AMPK/PPAR-α/VLCAD pathway

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2019
Background Atrial lipid metabolic remodeling is critical for the process of atrial fibrillation (AF). Abnormal Fatty acid (FA) metabolism in cardiomyocytes is involved in the pathogenesis of AF.

Poor prognosis of heart failure patients with in‐hospital worsening renal function and elevated BNP at discharge

ESC Heart Failure, 2020
Aims Our purpose was to investigate the association between the B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level at discharge, the occurrence of worsening renal function (WRF), and long‐term outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF).
