Abstract Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent, but its clinical use is limited by cumulative cardiotoxicity. Exercise, particularly high‐intensity interval training (HIIT), has emerged as an effective non‐pharmacological strategy to counteract chemotherapy‐induced cardiac injury.

Clearance of p16‐positive cardiac cells improves age‐related cardiac remodeling in mice
Abstract Senescent cells are characterized by expression of markers like p16 and secretion of profibrotic and proinflammatory factors. The role of cellular senescence in age‐related cardiac remodeling and dysfunction is incompletely understood. This study aimed to: (i) evaluate the effect of p16‐ positive cell clearance on cardiac function and ...

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence rises sharply with age due to two independent mechanisms. Ageing produces irreversible arrhythmogenic substrate changes through progressive fibrosis, cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, while modifiable risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, sleep apnoea, diabetes and alcohol use promote ...

Abstract High‐intensity endurance exercise induces myocardial remodelling as an adaptive response to sustained volume overload, but excessive cumulative training might also favour deleterious cardiac remodelling, including atrial fibrosis. Whether acute marathon running engages circulating fibrosis‐related biomarkers and whether these biomarkers track ...

Abstract Interindividual variability in the cardiac output (Q̇$\dot{Q}$) to the rate of oxygen consumption (V̇O2${{\dot{V}}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}}}$) slope (Q̇$\dot{Q}$–V̇O2${{\dot{V}}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}}}$) in healthy males is related to stroke volume (SV); however, the impact of differences in left ventricular (LV) structure and function as well as ...

Abstract figure legend Non‐Newtonian modelling and GPEs for stroke risk in atrial fibrilation patients. Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart arrhythmia, linked to a five‐fold increase in stroke risk. The left atrial appendage (LAA), prone to blood stasis, is a common thrombus formation site in AF patients.
