The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Simultaneous Non‐Invasive Epicardial and Endocardial Mapping in Patients With Brugada Syndrome: New Insights Into Arrhythmia Mechanisms

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundThe underlying mechanisms of Brugada syndrome (BrS) are not completely understood. Recent studies provided evidence that the electrophysiological substrate, leading to electrocardiogram abnormalities and/or ventricular arrhythmias, is located ...

Free‐Breathing 3D Whole Heart and Aorta Cine MRI Without Contrast Agent—Comparison to Clinical Standard

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The demand for cardiac MRI is increasing with the growing burden of cardiovascular disease. However, conventional protocols require sequential acquisitions for multi‐breath‐hold 2D cine and 3D MR angiography (MRA), which is time‐consuming.

Optimized Reduced Field of View and Fat Suppression Methods for Interleaved Multislice In Vivo Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Slice interleaving, a limited phase encode (PE) field of view (FOV), and effective fat suppression are vital for efficient cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) with minimal artifacts. This study aimed to optimize reduced FOV and fat suppression methods for interleaved multislice cDTI to improve signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and ...

Transmural Autonomic Regulation of Cardiac Contractility at the Intact Heart Level

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
The relationship between cardiac excitability and contractility depends on when Ca2+ influx occurs during the ventricular action potential (AP). In mammals, it is accepted that Ca2+ influx through the L-type Ca2+ channels occurs during AP phase 2 ...

Evaluation of Third‐Order Motion‐Compensated Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging Across Cardiac Phases Using an Ultra‐High‐Performance Clinical Scanner

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate a third‐order motion‐compensated spin echo (M3‐MCSE) sequence at multiple cardiac phases on a clinical 3 T MRI scanner with ultra‐high performance (UHP) gradients (200 mT/m), compared with stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) and second‐order MCSE (M2‐MCSE) for cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI).
