The human coronary collateral circulation [PDF]
Eur J Clin Invest 2010; 40 (5): 465–476AbstractBackground Coronary collaterals are an alternative source of blood supply to myocardium jeopardized by ischaemia. Well‐developed coronary collateral arteries in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) mitigate myocardial infarcts and improve survival.Methods and results Collateral arteries preventing

Recent Advances in Variable‐Stiffness Robotic Systems Enabled by Phase‐Change Materials
Phase‐change materials (PCMs), such as shape memory alloys, hydrogels, shape memory polymers, liquid crystal elastomers, and low‐melting‐point alloys, are driving advancements in stiffness‐tunable robotic systems across a wide range of applications. This review highlights recent progress in PCM‐enabled robotics, focusing on their underlying mechanisms,

The Coronary Circulation as a Target of Cardioprotection [PDF]
The atherosclerotic coronary vasculature is not only the culprit but also a victim of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Manifestations of such injury are increased vascular permeability and edema, endothelial dysfunction and impaired vasomotion, microembolization of atherothrombotic debris, stasis with intravascular cell aggregates, and finally ...

Surgery for Aneurysmal Coronary Artery Fistulas to the Coronary Sinus in Adults
Surgical treatment of aneurysmal distal congenital coronary artery fistulas depends on size and anatomy. From 2008 to 2021, we applied a new surgical technique in 7 adult patients: proximal and distal fistula closure, opening of aneurysmal artery, and ...

Effect of mediators on coronary circulation
A number of vasoactive mediators have been identified in plasma and in the heart. Some of them may be liberated in inflammatory heart disease. The action of mediators on coronary vasculature in various animal models and their potential role in inflammatory heart disease is reviewed. Their role in patients remains to be determined.

In vivo experiments suggest that cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is an early manifestation of cardiac pathological changes induced by chronic psychological stress. In vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that the corticosterone‐glucocorticoid receptor‐LAMA5 axis mediates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by chronic psychological stress. The clinical results

Lipoprotein-X: A Case of Falsely Elevated LDL Hypercholesterolemia
Lipoprotein-X is an extremely rare cause of severe hyperlipidemia. We present a case of a 26-year-old man with primary sclerosing cholangitis who developed lipoprotein X-induced pseudohyponatremia with severe hyponatremia.
