Abstract Menopause increases coronary heart disease risk, in part through reduced oestrogen‐mediated nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. The Buckberg ratio, an index of myocardial oxygen supply–demand balance, in which higher values reflect more favourable myocardial perfusion, is lower in postmenopausal females (PMFs) than in age‐matched males.

Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and is characterized by impaired Ca2+ handling and mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiomyocytes. However, the upstream mechanisms linking metabolic stress to these alterations remain incompletely defined.

Abstract figure legend Using a multiscale computational model of left ventricular electromechanics, we investigated how sarcomere dynamics influence the end‐systolic pressure‐volume (ESPV) relationship in ejecting beats compared to isovolumetric beats.

Abstract figure legend A high‐fat diet (HFD) induces brown adipose tissue (BAT) whitening, mitochondrial dysfunction (damaged cristae, fragmentation), reduced NAD+ levels and impaired thermogenesis, leading to lower energy expenditure and metabolic inflexibility.

Born early, age fast: Consequences of premature birth on chronic disease and accelerated ageing
Abstract figure legend ELGANs are exposed to several postnatal pro‐oxidant stressors, including ambient and supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, infections, hyperalimentation, excessive glucocorticoids and intermittent hypoxia. Since endogenous antioxidant defences are underdeveloped, this imbalance promotes oxidative stress and inflammation ...
