ABSTRACT A majority of deaths associated with air pollution are attributed to cardiovascular and heart diseases. Carbon black that represents the carbon core of particulate matter, a major component of air pollution, has been shown to result in cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction.

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

Direct intraoperative HeartMate 3 LVAD flow measurements using an ultrasonic probe revealed consistently higher values by approximately 0.5 L/min compared to device‐estimated flows. This discrepancy remained stable across pump speed settings, highlighting the importance of distinguishing measured from estimated flow in HeartMate 3 patients.

Abstract Background and Purpose Between‐cell differences in ventricular cardiomyocyte action potential duration (APD) and responses to ion channel block may contribute to pro‐arrhythmic dispersion of myocardial repolarisation. This study quantifies between‐cell physiological and pharmacological variability in the rabbit left ventricle (LV) and uses ...

Abstract Background and Purpose Aberrant activation of type 2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2) causes lethal arrhythmias, such as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Developing drugs that suppress RyR2 hyperactivation may be key to novel arrhythmia treatments.
