Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

Background: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance Feature Tracking (CMR-FT) is a well-established method to assess myocardial contraction with diagnostic and prognostic value in many diseases. We aimed to evaluate the role of right ventricular (RV) CMR-FT in

Computational simulations demonstrate altered wall shear stress in aortic coarctation patients previously treated by resection with end-to-end anastomosis [PDF]
Background. Atherosclerotic plaque in the descending thoracic aorta (dAo) is related to altered wall shear stress (WSS) for normal patients. Resection with end-to-end anastomosis (RWEA) is the gold standard for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) repair, but

Objective The transition from asymptomatic anti‐nuclear antibody (ANA) positivity to systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD) is associated with increased production of pro‐inflamamtory factors such as TNF‐α. Here we investigate whether the relative absence of inflammation in asymptomatic ANA+ individuals (ANA+NS) results from a lack of circulating

Stress and Quality of Life Among Parents of Children with Congenital Heart Disease Referred for Psychological Services [PDF]
Objective The study examined parent stress and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) among families of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) referred for psychological services. Methods Parents of 54 children (85% boys) aged 3 to 13 (Mage = 7.48,

Objective International criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) include lupus anticoagulant (LA), anticardiolipin (aCL) immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM, and anti‐β2‐glycoprotein I (β2GPI) IgG and IgM. However, evidence supporting their prognostic value or treatment efficacy in improving live birth rates is limited.

Sjögren disease (SjD) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the exocrine glands, resulting in dryness. Patients frequently exhibit extraglandular manifestations affecting various organ systems. To date, there are no FDA‐approved disease‐modifying therapies for SjD.
