The Mechanism and Potential Therapeutic Strategies of Vascular Aging
The phenotypes of vascular aging vary across different blood vessels. Endothelial dysfunction is observable in the endothelium of all vessels, while vascular structural remodeling primarily occurs in arteries. A decline in organ vascular density mainly affects arterioles, venules, and capillaries, whereas thrombosis predominantly occurs in the ...

Hiding in Plain Sight: Pulmonary Vein Stenosis Following Pediatric Heart Transplantation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) after pediatric heart transplantation (PHT) is an observed phenomenon with previously unknown incidence, risk factors, treatment, and outcome. Methods This is a review of three recent publications describing PVS after PHT. Results In total, 712 PHT recipients from four centers, over a combined 43 years,

ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena

Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Neck‐vein thrombosis during spaceflight
Spaceflight imposes unique environmental challenges, including weightlessness, increased radiation exposure and confinement, which can lead to unexpected health effects. One such example is neck‐vein thrombosis, a condition rarely seen on Earth without predisposing factors such as venous catheters or infections.

ABSTRACT Background Despite achieving complete revascularization, patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) may experience adverse outcomes, potentially attributable to coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Coronary flow reserve (CFR), which integrates both epicardial and microvascular coronary function, and a reduced CFR following complete ...

ABSTRACT Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. While it is generally considered a low‐risk procedure, one of the rare potentially life‐threatening complications includes aortic dissection.
