The role of intra- and interdialytic sodium balance and restriction in dialysis therapies

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
The relationship between sodium, blood pressure and extracellular volume could not be more pronounced or complex than in a dialysis patient. We review the patients’ sources of sodium exposure in the form of dietary salt intake, medication administration,

Toward Minimalistic Model of Cellular Volume Dynamics in Neurovascular Unit

Mathematics, 2021
The neurovascular unit (NVU) concept denotes cells and their communication mechanisms that autoregulate blood supply in the brain parenchyma. Over the past two decades, it has become clear that besides its primary function, NVU is involved in many ...

Differentiating the Prognostic Determinants of Myocardial Steatosis for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Myocardial steatosis and fibrosis may play a role in the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. We therefore investigated the prognostic significance of epicardial fat (epicardial adipose tissue [EAT]) and ...

Myocardial extracellular volume is a non-invasive tissue marker of heart failure in patients with transposition of the great arteries and systemic right ventricle

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
BackgroundFocal myocardial fibrosis in the systemic right ventricle (RV) is related to ventricular dysfunction and adverse outcome in patients with d-transposition of the great arteries (dTGA) post atrial redirection and those with congenitally corrected

Characteristics Associated With Growth Differentiation Factor 15 in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and the Impact of Pirfenidone

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF‐15) is elevated in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and is associated with adverse outcome, but its relationship with myocardial fibrosis and other characteristics remains unclear.

The evolving role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in the assessment of mitral valve prolapse

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP), characterized by a displacement > 2 mm above the mitral annulus of one or both bileaflets, with or without leaflet thickening, is a common valvular heart disease, with a prevalence of approximately 2% in western countries.
