Apical Sparing of Longitudinal Strain and Myocardial Fibrosis in Hypertensive Patients and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats: Based on Speckle Tracking and Histological Analysis

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2026.
Hypertensive cardiac hypertrophy shows a “basal‐damage, apical‐sparing” pattern in strain and fibrosis. This apical sparing correlates with diastolic dysfunction and hypertrophy progression, highlighting its value as an observable clinical hallmark of adverse remodeling. ABSTRACT Background This study aimed to investigate regional myocardial strain and

Biomechanical and Functional Response of 3D Printed Materials and Silicone Elastomers Compared to Human Aortic Tissues

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Synthetic materials that mimic the biomechanical and functional response of vascular tissues have applications in medical device testing and surgical training. 3D printing has emerged as a key technology to build complex patient‐specific anatomical models with multiple materials to mimic a range of tissue types.

Ultrasound‐Based Z Score and Pulmonary Valve/Aortic Valve Diameter Ratio Improving the Predictive Value of Fetal Aortic Stenosis

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 64-72, January 2026.
A total of 24 singleton fetuses with suspected AS who underwent two or more fetal echocardiograms were enrolled in this study. Using electronic spatiotemporal image correlation (eSTIC) technology, the AV and PV Z scores, along with the PV/AV ratio, were measured and compared between two echocardiographic examinations to assess diagnostic efficacy ...

4D Flow MRI Velocity and Turbulence Mapping in Mild Valvular Heart Disease

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 63, Issue 1, Page 222-232, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Valvular heart disease (VHD) commonly leads to the development of turbulent blood flow. Turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), measured with 4D flow MRI, may be a complement to current metrics for early identification of VHD. Purpose To investigate TKE as a marker of VHD in relation to flow velocity and cardiovascular geometry.

Combining Detailed Fetal Anatomy Scanning in the NT Window Versus Early Second Trimester Scanning at 14–16 Weeks

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 105-113, January 2026.
Objectives First‐trimester ultrasound has evolved to incorporate a detailed fetal anatomy scan (FAS) with nuchal translucency (NT) screening. Many institutions use a 2‐visit protocol: NT followed by detailed FAS at 14–16 weeks. We aimed to evaluate whether integrating detailed FAS into the NT window (12 + 5 to 13 + 6 weeks) is non‐inferior in ...

A Novel A‐Kinase‐Anchoring Protein 9 Variant in Premature Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Series

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
AKAP9 Q2136E mutation disrupts AKAP9–PRKAR2A interaction and may contribute to early‐onset CAD. ABSTRACT Background Familial premature coronary artery disease (CAD) is often associated with genetic variants. This study investigated potential causal variants in a Chinese pedigree with premature CAD. Methods In total, nine family members were included in
