Abstract Aims SPARCL1 was recently identified as a biomarker of right ventricular (RV) maladaptation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic protein (NT‐proBNP) is an established biomarker of RV failure in PH. The present study investigated whether NT‐proBNP and SPARCL1 concentrations are associated with load ...

Neurohumoral and mechanical factors in the modulation of left ventricular mass [PDF]
The goals for the research were to define, describe, and study those neuroendocrine and mechanical mechanisms that may play a role in the initiation and maintenance of an increase in, or cause regression of, the mass of the left ventricle.

This study reveals that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from visceral fat compromise coronary microcirculation in a mouse model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The SGLT2 inhibitor canagliflozin emerges as a therapeutic strategy, improving cardiac function and endothelial health.

Abstract Background Left atrial enlargement (LAE) is predictive of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Prior studies of point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) interpretation methods for identifying LAE utilized older echocardiographic reference ranges. Objectives Compare the test characteristics of hospitalist‐performed POCUS techniques for identifying ...

Abstract The isoproterenol‐induced myocardial infarction model is a well‐established experimental approach for studying cardiac injury and testing potential protective treatments. By overstimulating beta‐adrenergic receptors, this model closely reproduces key features of human heart attacks, including oxidative damage, calcium imbalance, inflammatory ...

Quantitative MRI Values for Atrial and Ventricular Parameters in Altitude‐Dwelling Youth
ABSTRACT Background The hypoxic environment on the Qinghai Plateau significantly exacerbates myocardial remodeling, with sex/ethnicity‐specific variations in cardiac parameters among local youth. Current cardiac MRI reference values lack data from physiologically adapted populations on this plateau.

ABSTRACT Background A detailed evaluation of hemodynamics, supportive morphology, and deformation may help uncover the pathophysiology of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and the changes wrought by alcohol septal ablation (ASA). Purpose To investigate the global cardiac volume, myocardial deformation, and hemodynamic characteristics ...
