Heart Failure: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Management
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.This article takes calcium homeostasis as the point of departure to provide an overview of heart failure from three perspectives—epidemiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, and management strategies—and summarizes the current unmet needs and future directions in the field. ABSTRACT Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of hospitalization and

Cardiac disease in systemic sclerosis: Integrating pathobiology with clinical management
Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 16-38, March 2026.Abstract Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex autoimmune disorder in which cardiovascular involvement remains a major determinant of morbidity and mortality. Cardiac injury in SSc results from the interplay of microvascular dysfunction, immune‐mediated inflammation, and progressive interstitial and replacement fibrosis, leading to myocardial disease ...

Outcomes of Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing in Heart Failure Patients: A Systematic Review
Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 2, March 2026.LBBAP demonstrated significant improvements in cardiac function, with most studies reporting substantial increases in LVEF and reductions in QRSd. LBBAP is a promising alternative to conventional pacing strategies, offering superior electrical and mechanical synchronization, enhanced cardiac function, and better clinical outcomes.
