Radiological Insights Into the Pericardium: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT The pericardium is not simply a two‐layered membrane surrounding the heart and great vessels. Pericardial effusion is the most common manifestation of various pathological conditions involving the pericardium. Therefore, we are tempted to think of the pericardium as a virtual space containing only fluid, but it can also contain solid and ...

Dietary restriction mitigates vascular aging in DNA‐repair‐deficient Ercc1Δ/− mice by reducing extracellular matrix remodeling, inflammation, oxidative stress, and switching of vascular smooth muscle cells to a macrophage‐like phenotype. Our findings suggest that the cGAS‐STING pathway plays a key role in vascular aging and that the benefits of dietary

Design of a Soft Robotic Artificial Cardiac Wall
ABSTRACT Background In cardiovascular engineering, the recent introduction of soft robotic technologies sheds new light on the future of implantable cardiac devices, enabling the replication of complex bioinspired architectures and motions. To support human heart function, assistive devices and total artificial hearts have been developed.

Ultrasound Assessment of Venous and Pulmonary Congestion in Left Ventricular Assist Devices Patients
Renal venous stasis index (RVI) of Doppler renal ultrasound index is the peripheral vein ultrasound associated with high right atrial pressure, and right displacement of the interatrial septum is the echocardiographic parameter associated with high pulmonary wedge pressure.
