The mediating role of the left ventricular mass index on the relationship between the fluid balance and left ventricular diastolic function in patients with chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Background The pathophysiological mechanism of cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is complicated. Mediation analysis is an important statistical tool for gaining insight into the complex mechanisms of exposure-outcome ...

Assessment Of Response To Heart Failure Therapy: Ventricular Volume Changes Versus Shape Changes [PDF]
The prolate ellipsoid left ventricular geometry is crucial for its unique contraction and relaxation patterns. Perturbations in optimal cardiac function preceding overt heart failure ensue when this ellipsoid shape assumes a more spherical configuration.

High‐end normal hemoglobin levels are associated with an increased odds of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), potentially through a mechanism of elevating testosterone levels involving the hypoxia‐inducible factor 1 (HIF‐1) pathway. These findings provide novel insights into the pathophysiology of PCOS and highlight that hemoglobin levels may serve as a

Abstract Objectives Investigate age‐related changes in coronary microvascular function, its effect on hyperemic and non‐hyperemic indices of stenosis relevance, and its prognostic implications. Background Evidence assessing the effect of age on fractional flow reserve (FFR), resting mean distal intracoronary pressure/mean aortic pressure (Pd/Pa), and ...

Changes and classification in myocardial contractile function in the left ventricle following acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
In this research, we hypothesized that novel biomechanical parameters are discriminative in patients following acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent kinase II (CaMKII) activation is likely driven by oxidative stress, particularly excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. This study identifies P21‐activated kinase 2 (Pak2) as a novel regulator of ROS‐induced CaMKII activation and abnormal Ca2⁺ dynamics in acute adrenergic and chronic pressure‐overload stressed ...

Abstract Background Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous transcatheter approaches may offer an alternative for patients not amenable to surgery. Methods TriCLASP is a prospective, single‐arm, multicenter European post‐market clinical follow‐up study (NCT04614402) to ...

The volumetric analysis of cardiac chambers and three-dimensional cardiac reconstruction during chicken embryo cardiogenesis [PDF]
Aim of this study was to quantitatively examine chicken heart’s parameters at the stage HH 29 and HH 35 (Hamburger and Hamilton, 1951). It was achieved by using three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction software to align multiple histological sections of the

A Novel Mathematical/Numerical Formula for Assessing Right Ventricular Torsion Using Echocardiographic Imaging [PDF]
Recently, the ventricular torsional parameters have received special attention because of their significant role in the ventricular systolic and diastolic function. Right ventricular (RV) rotational deformation is a sensitive index for RV performance but difficult to measure.
