Clinical Results for Cardiovascular Xenografts Treated With Novel Anticalcification Protocols
This study demonstrates the safety, efficacy, and clinical performance of the tissue‐engineered Periborn bovine pericardial scaffold treated with our novel anticalcification protocols for surgical repair of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. The overall probability of freedom from Periborn‐related reoperation was 95.4% ± 3.2% at 9 years.

ABSTRACT Aim Metabolic disturbances challenge pH homeostasis in cardiomyocytes. The electroneutral Na+,HCO3−‐cotransporter NBCn1/Slc4a7 mediates net acid extrusion, and genetic variation in SLC4A7 contributes to human hypertension and cardiovascular risk.

Early‐onset Marfan syndrome (eoMFS) is a rare disorder with atrioventricular valve insufficiency being the most severe symptom. We propose to regard eoMFS as a spectrum, ranging from a severe disorder life‐threatening already before or immediately after birth, to a disorder with a better survival rate, creating a window for atrioventricular valve ...

Assessing the Use of Left Atrial Strain Before and After Treadmill Exercise Stress Echocardiography
Left atrial strain is a novel speckle‐tracking technique used in the assessment of left atrial function and has been shown to be a marker for adverse cardiac events. Changes before and after exercise differentiated between normal and abnormal stress echocardiograms, suggesting an additional role in stress echocardiography.
