CPCs and ECM. A good mix for cardiac regeneration [PDF]
Despite several improvements in term of diagnosis and prevention, ischemic heart disease still represents one of the principal worldwide causes of death. Cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) based therapy is considered a valid alternative to heart transplant,

Congenital absence of the pericardium [PDF]
A 71-year-old male presented with atypical chest pain and dilatation of the right ventricle on echocardiography and was referred for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) for suspected arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. CMR showed marked posterior and leftward displacement of the heart, with the apex extending to the left lateral chest

Surgical treatment of giant cardiac aneurysm with pseudoaneurysm in a colon carcinoma patient [PDF]
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare and lethal condition associated with a high risk of rapid enlargement and rupture. It develops after transmural myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac surgery, trauma, or infection.

These findings advance tissue repair by offering a multifunctional filler that improves large‐scale volume retention, elasticity, and support for vascularized tissue growth. The decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)‐based material provides low injection force and minimizes swelling, ensuring sustained volume. Combining CMC with supercritical fluid‐

Bifurcations in valveless pumping techniques from a coupled fluid-structure-electrophysiology model in heart development [PDF]
We explore an embryonic heart model that couples electrophysiology and muscle-force generation to flow induced using a $2D$ fluid-structure interaction framework based on the immersed boundary method.
