ABSTRACT Desmin, a crucial intermediate filament in muscle cells, maintains structural integrity in cardiac muscle and provides stability to striated muscle cells. Mutations in the DES gene lead to desminopathies, causing diverse cardiac and skeletal myopathies.

Mechanisms and pathophysiology of mitral valve regurgitation
The mitral valve (MV) is a sophisticated natural engineering marvel. The MV requires coordinated action of all its interrelated anatomical components: The MV leaflets, the annulus, the left atrium, the tendinous chords and the papillary muscles with its ...

ABSTRACT In older patients receiving mavacamten, a reduction in NT‐proBNP levels may coexist with persistent severe LVOTO. Nurses should interpret this biomarker–echocardiography discordance as a safety signal and maintain structured cardiovascular surveillance rather than assuming treatment success based solely on biomarker improvement.

Chest x‐ray showing a typical presentation of Ebstein anomaly with severe cardiomegaly and a prominent right atrium silhouette. ABSTRACT Simultaneous heart–kidney transplantation is a viable and effective treatment option for patients with congenital heart disease and advanced chronic kidney disease when both conditions threaten survival.

This retrospective cohort study (n = 380) demonstrates that severe postoperative multi‐organ dysfunction (SOFA Maximum ≥ 11) is a strong independent predictor of long‐term adverse outcomes after modified Morrow surgery. Incorporating the SOFA score into postoperative assessments helps identify high‐risk hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy patients ...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment‐resistant depression (TRD) remain leading causes of disability, providing the impetus for receptor‐level treatment strategies beyond monoamine reuptake. The serotonin 5‐HT2B receptor (5‐HT2BR) is uniquely positioned at the interface of central‐antidepressant mechanisms and peripheral cardiac risks.

Technologies in minimally invasive treatment of severe mitral regurgitation
Mitral valve regurgitation is the second most common valve defect in Europe among adults. Primary mitral regurgitation (MR) results from structural abnormalities of the valve apparatus (e.g., leaflet prolapse, chordae rupture), often due to myxomatous ...

ABSTRACT Background Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a congenital heart disorder involving tricuspid valve dysplasia and right heart abnormalities resulting in severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Multiple techniques assess regurgitation severity, but their correlation with EA severity markers remains unclear. Purpose To compare MRI techniques for quantifying
