Unveiling sex dimorphism in the healthy cardiac anatomy: Fundamental differences between male and female heart shapes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We present a shape modelling‐based morphological analysis of sex differences in cardiac anatomy. We conduct our analysis on 456 healthy subjects from the UK Biobank (227M/229F) to uncover sex‐based differences in healthy cardiac morphology.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Part 1 - Introduction, pathology and pathophysiology

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2014
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease with many genotype and phenotype variations. Earlier terminologies, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and idiopathic hypertrophic sub-aortic stenosis are no longer ...

Elevational variation in heart mass and suppression of hypoxia‐induced right ventricle hypertrophy in Andean leaf‐eared mice (Phyllotis)

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In lowland mammals that ascend to high elevation, hypoxia‐induced changes in the pulmonary circulation can give rise to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) and associated right‐ventricle (RV) hypertrophy. Andean mice with broad elevational ranges have greater heart mass relative to body size at higher elevations, but they ...

Cats with thermal burn injuries from California wildfires show echocardiographic evidence of myocardial thickening and intracardiac thrombi. [PDF]

, 2020
Recent increases in the prevalence and severity of wildfires in some regions have resulted in an increased frequency of veterinary burn patients. Few studies exist regarding diagnostics and management of burn wounds in veterinary patients and current ...

Beat‐to‐beat variability of ventricular repolarization reveals sex‐specific instability and proarrhythmic risk

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A mechanistic framework linking sex‐dependent dynamical instability to proarrhythmic risk. Sex‐specific human ventricular models show that upstream modulators, including biological sex, hormones, drugs and heart disease, promote steeper APD restitution in female than male and enhance dynamical instability.

Quantitative Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion in Physiological and Pathological Hypertrophy Using Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2026.
Myocardial hypertrophy can be classified into physiological and pathological types based on etiology, with significant differences in clinical outcomes. This study utilized myocardial contrast echocardiography to quantitatively assess myocardial microcirculatory perfusion in patients with different types of hypertrophy.

Intersecting Molecular Pathways in Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes Mellitus: Emerging Roles of Inflammation and Therapeutics

Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Volume 42, Issue 4, May 2026.
Central illustration: Pathophysiological mechanisms linking diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Chronic hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, and low‐grade inflammation contribute to endothelial dysfunction, myocardial fibrosis, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Carrier screening in the reproductive setting—Are there medical implications for the heterozygote?—A guide for clinicians

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

The relationship between the cannabinoids and cardiac remodelling: A comprehensive review of pivotal mechanisms and emerging evidence

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 9, Page 1747-1778, May 2026.
Cardiac remodelling and fibrosis after myocardial infarction or during chronic diseases, such as arterial and pulmonary hypertension or diabetes mellitus, continue to be the more important prognostic factors in determining survival, and so the search for effective anti‐fibrotic interventions is an important target for research and therapy in cardiology.
