Abstract Human populations native to high altitude have evolved distinct physiological adaptations to chronic hypoxia. This adaptation is evident in the O2 transport cascade. In this review, with brief inclusion of the related genetic adaptations, we compare the O2 cascade across three well‐characterized high‐altitude populations: Andeans (Aymara and ...

EuroSCORE II: Current limitations and physiological gaps in risk stratification
Abstract Risk stratification remains critical in cardiac surgery, enabling clinicians to predict adverse outcomes and guide perioperative management. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II, introduced in 2011, incorporates 18 key variables to provide an evidence‐based approach to risk assessment.

Antenatal betamethasone impairs markers of cardiac development and function in near‐term lambs
Abstract figure Summary of key molecular differences in the left ventricle of near‐term lambs exposed to antenatal betamethasone, compared to saline. Pregnant ewes received two doses of either saline (Saline) or betamethasone (Betamethasone, intramuscular, 11.4 mg) given 24 h apart, before delivery at 140 days of gestation (dG, term = 150 dG).

Abstract The left ventricle (LV) is the primary pumping chamber of the heart, generating high systolic pressure to sustain systemic circulation. LV contractile dysfunction is a hallmark of various cardiovascular diseases and is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, characterised by decreased oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity and ...

Abstract Exercise training is recommended for individuals with hypertension because it has been shown to lower blood pressure and reverse left ventricular concentric remodelling and mass. However, it is unclear how hypertensive individuals respond in comparison to normotensive individuals and to what extent medical treatment affects the outcome of ...
