Protective Effects of Riociguat Against Contrast-Induced Nephropathy: An Experimental and Machine Learning-Based Study in Rats. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Contrast‐induced nephropathy (CIN) is an important cause of acute kidney injury following exposure to iodinated contrast media, and effective preventive strategies remain limited. This study investigated the renoprotective effects of riociguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, in an experimental rat model of CIN and explored machine ...

Long-Term Supervised Cardiac Rehabilitation After Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty Improved Residual Exercise Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients With Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: A Two-Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Abnormal pulmonary hemodynamics during exercise may persist even after balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). We report two female patients who underwent long‐term supervised outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after BPA with continuous pulmonary vasodilators.

The Role of Medical Therapy Before and After Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty: CTEPH AC Registry Across Japan. [PDF]
ABSTRACT We aimed to evaluate the role of medical therapy before and after balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for non‐operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in the modern management era. This Japanese nationwide, multicenter, prospective observational registry, including 37 centers, analyzed data newly registered from August ...
