The cardiac wound healing response to myocardial infarction

WIREs Mechanisms of Disease, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023
Cardiac wound healing after myocardial infarction is a balance between the breakdown of existing and the construction of new extracellular matrix, with inflammation feeding into both sides. Abstract Myocardial infarction (MI) is defined as evidence of myocardial necrosis consistent with prolonged ischemia.

Evaluating the impact of fractional flow reserve-guided percutaneous coronary intervention in intermediate coronary artery lesions on the mode of treatment and their outcomes: An Iranian experience

ARYA Atherosclerosis, 2015
BACKGROUND: Today, the fractional flow reserve (FFR) guides the physician to select suitable patients with intermediate severity coronary lesions in angiography that should be treated or not with stent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of

Comparative Analysis of the Feasibility of Myocardial Blood Flow Index Versus CT-FFR in the Diagnosis of Suspected Coronary Artery Disease

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background: Using fluid dynamic modeling, noninvasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) data provides better anatomic and functional information than CCTA, with a high diagnostic and discriminatory

Inter‐atrial block as a predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with HFpEF

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Inter‐atrial block (IAB), a marker of electrical atrial dysfunction, is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and adverse events in various populations. The prognostic impact of IAB in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unknown.

The effect of trimetazidine on cardiac haemodynamics and mitochondrial function in wild‐type transthyretin amyloidosis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Wild‐type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is a cardiomyopathy causing myocardial hypoperfusion and impaired cardiac mitochondrial function. Trimetazidine is an antianginal agent used in patients with stable angina pectoris, which improves cardiac contractility and mitochondrial function.

Effect of sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the rate of decline in kidney function: A systematic review and meta‐analysis 钠‐葡萄糖共转运蛋白2抑制剂对肾功能下降速度的影响:系统综述和meta分析

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 58-70, January 2023., 2023
Highlights Sodium/glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT‐2i) showed an important renoprotective effect on sustained administration, regardless of the presence of diabetes, the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and different types of SGLT‐2i. There was an acute decline of eGFR in the initial administration (4.02 ml/min/1.73 m2), and

State of precision medicine for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in a new therapeutic age

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is defined by heart failure (HF) with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of at least 50%. HFpEF has a complex and heterogeneous pathophysiology with multiple co‐morbidities contributing to its presentation. Establishing the diagnosis of HFpEF can be challenging.

The efficacy of PDE5 inhibitors in diabetic patients

Andrology, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 245-256, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5i), since their introduction in the late 1990s, have proven their efficacy in treating several conditions, predominantly pulmonary hypertension and erectile dysfunction where they remain the first‐line therapeutic option.

Clinical usefulness of instantaneous wave-free ratio for the evaluation of coronary artery lesion with prior myocardial infarction: A multi-center study

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2020
Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is useful for assessing the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis, even in lesions with prior myocardial infarction (pMI).

Whole-heart dynamic three-dimensional magnetic resonance perfusion imaging for the detection of coronary artery disease defined by fractional flow reserve: determination of volumetric myocardial ischaemic burden and coronary lesion location [PDF]

, 2017
Aims Dynamic three-dimensional-cardiac magnetic resonance (3D-CMR) perfusion proved highly diagnostic for the detection of angiographically defined coronary artery disease (CAD) and has been used to assess the efficacy of coronary stenting procedures ...
