Recent advances in rhythm control for atrial fibrillation [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a difficult management problem. The restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm—rhythm control therapy—can markedly improve symptoms and haemodynamics for patients who have paroxysmal or persistent AF, but some patients ...

Force‐sensing catheters during pediatric radiofrequency ablation: The FEDERATION Study [PDF]
Background Based on data from studies of atrial fibrillation ablations, optimal parameters for the TactiCath (TC; St. Jude Medical, Inc) force‐sensing ablation catheter are a contact force of 20 g and a force‐time integral of 400

Selective Targeting of Tip Endothelial Cells as a Therapeutic Strategy for Tumor Angiogenesis
Doppel protein is selectively expressed in tip endothelial cells within the tumor vasculature, where it promotes tip cell motility and stabilizes the tip cell phenotype. Targeting Doppel with monoclonal antibodies disrupts this stabilization, impairs angiogenic sprouting, and reduces tumor angiogenesis, offering a selective and druggable switch for ...

Endothelial Cells Expressing Endothelial and Mesenchymal Cell Gene Products in Lung Tissue From Patients With Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether lung endothelial cells (ECs) from patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) express mesenchymal cell-specific proteins and gene transcripts, indicative of the occurrence of endothelial-

Pulmonary vein tachycardia after pulmonary vein isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation
Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation has been developed to treat patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and the electrophysiological endpoint of PV isolation is the disappearance or dissociation of pulmonary vein potentials (PVPs). Pulmonary vein tachycardia (PVT) is the dissociated PV rhythm with a rapid rate.

Irgm1 Improves Postinfarction Cardiac Repair by Promoting Neutrophil Clearance and Efferocytosis
The Irgm1‐PDIA3 axis enhances post‐infarction cardiac repair by accelerating neutrophil clearance and facilitating efferocytosis. Irgm1 holds potential as a prognostic biomarker in MI, and LOC14 may represent a therapeutic option to improve cardiac repair, especially in cases of Irgm1 deficiency.
