Characterization of influenza A viruses with polymorphism in PB2 residues 701 and 702

Scientific Reports, 2017
The 701 and 702 positions of influenza PB2 polymerase subunit are previously shown to have roles on host range. Limited polymorphisms at these two residues are identified in natural isolates, thereby limiting the study of their role in the polymerase. In

International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form and accelerometer‐assessed physical activity: concurrent validity using six cut‐points in HF patients

ESC Heart Failure
Aims Physical activity (PA) is an important target for improving clinical outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients. Nonetheless, assessing the daily PA profile in this population is a challenging task, traditionally performed using self‐report ...

MicroRNA‐30d and ‐483‐3p for bi‐ventricular remodelling and miR‐126‐3p for pulmonary hypertension in advanced heart failure

ESC Heart Failure
Aims MicroRNAs play a role in pathogenic mechanisms leading to heart failure. We measured a panel of 754 miRNAs in the myocardial tissue and in the serum of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction due to dilatative idiopathic ...

Effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation programs on medication adherence in patients with cardiovascular disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

International Journal of Cardiology. Cardiovascular Risk and Prevention
Background: Education to improve medication adherence is one of the core components of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs. However, the evidence on the effectiveness of CR programs on medication adherence is conflicting.

Investigation of the mechanism underlying the Vasoprotective effects of red yeast rice extract in spontaneously hypertensive rats [PDF]

Hypertension is linked to endothelial dysfunction, characterized by an imbalance between relaxing and constricting factors in the vasculature. Increased activity in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is implicated in hypertension as it ...

Cavin‐2 promotes fibroblast‐to‐myofibroblast trans‐differentiation and aggravates cardiac fibrosis

ESC Heart Failure
Aims Transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β) signalling is one of the critical pathways in fibroblast activation, and several drugs targeting the TGF‐β/Smad signalling pathway in heart failure with cardiac fibrosis are being tested in clinical trials.

Systemic vascular resistance predicts high‐output cardiac failure in patients with high‐flow arteriovenous fistula

ESC Heart Failure
Aims Patients with high‐flow arteriovenous (AV) access are at risk of developing high‐output cardiac failure (HOCF) and subsequent hospitalization. However, diagnosing HOCF is challenging and often requires invasive procedures.

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: What a Cardiologist Should Know

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) affects 1 in 200–500 of the general population, with about 10%–20% identified clinically. The primary goal of imaging for a cardiologist is to provide an accurate diagnosis and add prognostic value.

Phenotyping patients with ischaemic heart disease at risk of developing heart failure: an analysis of the HOMAGE trial

ESC Heart Failure
Aims We aim to characterize the clinical and proteomic profiles of patients at risk of developing heart failure (HF), with and without coronary artery disease (CAD) or prior myocardial infarction (MI).
