Kdm4a downregulation restrains excessive cardiac interstitial fibrosis and remodeling by depressing the premature senescence of fibroblasts in the advanced stage after MI but does not affect early ventricular rupture. It verified that Kdm4a downregulation promotes autophagy in premature senescent fibroblasts by increasing the H3K9m3 modification of the

Combined mitral valve repair and heart transplantation [PDF]
Key Clinical MessageIn times of donor organ shortage, organs with extended allocation criteria, for example, valve pathologies, have to be taken into consideration for transplantation. The donor pool can be extended to hearts with mitral valve insufficiency.

A dual‐modal wearable pulse detection system is developed for sleep apnea monitoring by integrating a self‐powered PENG and PPG sensor with a biomimetic fingertip structure. Through a two‐stage detection strategy, continuous PPW monitoring and on‐demand PPG detection achieve high‐accuracy sleep apnea recognition while maintaining low power consumption.

Nitric oxide synthase-3 promotes embryonic development of atrioventricular valves. [PDF]
Nitric oxide synthase-3 (NOS3) has recently been shown to promote endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in the developing atrioventricular (AV) canal.

'Edge-to-edge' mitral valve repair: the ace of hearts [PDF]
A 32-year-old man underwent a successful surgical correction of a severe mitral regurgitation. The surgical procedure consisted of an ‘edge-to-edge’ repair of the valve, connecting the mid-portion of the anterior and posterior leaflets, associated with implantation of a mitral annuloplasty ring (Sovering O 38 mm; …

This study develops a human engineered heart tissue‐derived model of diabetic cardiomyopathy that accurately replicates the dynamic changes in the structural, contractile, and electrophysiological properties of the myocardium. Furthermore, this model is used to confirm the direct protective effects of empagliflozin on the heart through an SGLT2 off ...

On-pump fibrillating heart mitral valve replacement with the SAPIEN XT transcatheter heart valve [PDF]
In some high-risk patients, standard mitral valve replacement can represent a challenging procedure, requiring a risky extensive decalcification of the annulus. In particular, high-risk redo patients and patients with a previously implanted transcatheter aortic valve, who develop calcific mitral disease, would benefit from the development of new ...

Two‐Stage Treatment for Adult Large Patent Ductus Venosus
This is the first report of a two‐stage treatment for an adult large PDV involving the first stage surgical angioplasty of the large Arantius' duct and second stage embolization of the formed small Arantius' duct. The two‐stage approach could avoid embolic material migration into the systemic circulation or acute portal hypertension associated with the
