“Bendy” stents help negotiate hairpin intracardiac curves [PDF]

, 2015
Simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) occurs in 0.2 per 1000 live births. The condition is surgically repaired in the neonatal period by the arterial switch procedure (ASO) sometimes preceded by an atrial septostomy.

USP18 mediates high glucose‐induced cardiomyocyte injury by regulating the JAK/STAT signaling pathway through stabilizing FOXC2 expression

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
USP18 upregulation stabilizes FOXC2 expression by deubiquitination to inactivate the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, thereby inhibiting HG‐induced NMVM apoptosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis. ABSTRACT Background Cardiomyopathy is one of the complications of diabetes, among which myocardial fibrosis is the most typical feature.

Cyclin‐dependent kinase 13 is indispensable for normal mouse heart development

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 616-630, April 2025.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common defect in live births. The role of cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK13) in cardiogenesis and CHD was studied using a transgenic mouse model (Cdk13tm1b) carrying deletion of exons 3 and 4, causing loss of function.

3D transparent technology displays the developmental patterns of ductus arteriosus morphology in chicken embryos before and after birth

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
At the eighth week of human embryonic development, 3D transparent imaging enables clear visualization of the outflow tract's morphological features, revealing its anatomical components in detail. Abstract The ductus arteriosus (DA) is a critical fetal vascular structure that shunts blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta, bypassing the non ...

The Evolving Landscape of CHD Genetics: A Contemporary Guide to Genetic Testing and Management

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, affecting an estimated 9.4/1000 infants globally. The genetics of CHD is complex, with most cases thought to have multifactorial aetiology, implicating both genetic and environmental factors.

Effects of high‐intensity interval training on cardiac function in hypertensive and normotensive men: Effects of antihypertensive treatment

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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 ...

In silico modelling of multi‐electrode arrays for enhancing cardiac drug testing on hiPSC‐CM heterogeneous tissues

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of the experimental and computational framework for investigating hiPSC‐CM electrophysiology with MEA systems. The MEA‐based model integrates experimental data with phenotype‐specific ionic models and tissue‐level heterogeneity.

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...

Acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia augments left ventricular contractility

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Twenty‐four healthy adults were studied to determine the effects of an acute session of 40 min of intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia on cardiac performance. Cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography at rest and during graded stages of lower‐body negative pressure before and after the intervention to quantify load ...

The apicobasal dispersion of ventricular repolarization in humans is associated with age and affects arrhythmia vulnerability

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated the age‐ and sex‐related differences in the apicobasal repolarization gradient (ABRG) and evaluated their possible role inventricular arrhythmia vulnerability. Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) was performed in healthy subjects during sinus rhythm, and the average recovery time (RT) and activation–recovery ...
