Loss of Hepatic Angiotensinogen Attenuates Diastolic Dysfunction in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Increased hepatic angiotensinogen (AGT) abundance leads to cardiac diastolic dysfunction via the AngII‐independent pathway. Liver‐derived AGT is internalized by LRP2 in cardiac endothelial cells, subsequently contributing to myocardial diastolic dysfunction by suppressing microvascular angiogenesis via inhibiting the GATA2/Pim3 pathway.

The Mechanism and Potential Therapeutic Strategies of Vascular Aging

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
The phenotypes of vascular aging vary across different blood vessels. Endothelial dysfunction is observable in the endothelium of all vessels, while vascular structural remodeling primarily occurs in arteries. A decline in organ vascular density mainly affects arterioles, venules, and capillaries, whereas thrombosis predominantly occurs in the ...

Hyperaldosteronism and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy [PDF]

Hypertension, 2010
To the Editor: In their prospective study, Gaddam et al1 have examined the effects of spironolactone on cardiac structure in 34 patients with resistant hypertension who were separated according to their plasma aldosterone levels. At baseline, cardiac volume overload was detected in patients with higher aldosterone levels that was significantly and ...

Intestinal Atresia in PPP1R12A‐Related Urogenital and Brain Malformation Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT PPP1R12A‐related urogenital and brain malformation syndrome (UBMS) is a newly described disorder characterized by congenital anomalies primarily involving the urogenital system and the brain. We describe a preterm female neonate with multiple congenital anomalies, including type IIIb jejunal atresia, incomplete intestinal rotation, imperforate

Management of Cardiovascular Health Issues in Turner Syndrome: Expert Insights and Expanded Recommendations From the 2024 Guideline Development Team

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena

Distribution of cardiac geometric patterns on echocardiography in essential hypertension. Impact of two criteria of stratification

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2001
PURPOSE: To evaluate 2 left ventricular mass index (LVMI) normality criteria for the prevalence of left ventricular geometric patterns in a hypertensive population ( HT ) . METHODS: 544 essential hypertensive patients, were evaluated by echocardiography,

The Role of ECG in the Diagnosis of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Current Cardiology Reviews, 2014
The traditional approach to the ECG diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is focused on the best estimation of left ventricular mass (LVM) i.e. finding ECG criteria that agree with LVM as detected by imaging.

The Vietnamese swine as a translational model of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The flow diagram outlines the chemical induction of breast tumors through a single intraperitoneal dose of MNU. Tumor development was assessed using ultrasound and clinical examination. After 14 weeks, mammary tissue was collected and histologically analyzed to evaluate structural similarities between sows and humans, the carcinogenic potential of MNU,
