Hypertension in obesity represents a major global health challenge, closely linked to the global epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction. Excess adiposity contributes to elevated blood pressure through multiple, interrelated mechanisms, including activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system ...

Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum contact sites (MERCS) are areas where the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum closely interact. In this study, we utilize synthetic organelle glues to artificially engineer MERCS for regulating cardiomyocyte development, through which the immature and chemo‐plasticity issues of undifferentiated cells are addressed.

ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.

Biventricular Pressure‐Volume Loop Analysis in an LVAD Patient Optimized With Impella RP Flex
ABSTRACT Right ventricular (RV) failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a serious complication which may necessitate temporary mechanical support in refractory cases. Here we describe a 63‐year‐old man with end‐stage ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe combined pre‐ and post‐capillary pulmonary hypertension who developed ...

Early Experience With Evoque Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement in Carcinoid Heart Disease
ABSTRACT Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is nearly universal in carcinoid heart disease (CHD), but surgical replacement carries significant risk, and CHD was excluded from the landmark TRISCEND II trial. We present seven patients with CHD undergoing Evoque transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) at two tertiary centers.

ABSTRACT The SAPIEN M3 system has been recently approved for transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). The transeptal guide sheath is used to deploy the dock, which is completely released before inserting and deploying the M3 valve using the same femoral access, transeptal puncture (TSP) and guide sheath.

ABSTRACT Failure of true‐lumen re‐entry after subintimal wire passage is a well‐recognized limitation of endovascular treatment for external iliac artery (EIA) chronic total occlusions (CTO). We report a 73‐year‐old woman with severe limb ischemia and a prior failed endovascular attempt who underwent hybrid left common femoral artery (CFA ...

Flowchart of patient enrollment. ABSTRACT Background Cardiovascular disease remains a major public health burden. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T genotype on folic acid treatment response and cardiovascular endothelial function in patients with hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy).
