Comprehensive Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance‐Derived Myocardial Strain Analysis Provides Independent Prognostic Value in Acute Myocarditis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Late gadolinium enhancement and left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) are prognostic markers, but their predictive value for incident heart failure or life‐threatening arrhythmias in acute ...

Atrial and Ventricular Involvement in Acute Myocarditis Patients with Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Single-Center Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is commonly employed to confirm the diagnosis of acute myocarditis (AM). However, the impact of atrial and ventricular function in AM patients with preserved ejection fraction (EF) deserves further investigation ...

Wearable Smart Patches on Sustainable Chitosan With Reversible Microbial Growth‐Inhibitory Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chitosan, a polysaccharide upcycled from biowaste, has long promised sustainable, biocompatible, and antimicrobial films and devices, an appeal reinforced by its recent regulatory recognition, with several chitosan‐based antibacterial dressings gaining clearance through the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) pathway.

A review of alternative measurements in strain imaging for ventricular arrhythmia prediction [PDF]

Folia Medica
Global longitudinal strain has been established as a reliable tool to assess global left ventricular function and a marker of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction unrecognized by the ejection fraction.

Topically Delivered Treg‐Attracting Microparticle‐Hydrogel Composites Recruit Regulatory T Cells and Limit Cardiac Injury After Severe Ischemia

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
CCL22‐releasing PLGA microparticles (MP) suspended in topically applied hydrogels (HEART) establish a sustained chemokine gradient at the injured myocardium. HEART recruits CCR4+ regulatory T cells, reduces infarct size and graft fibrosis, and improves cardiac function.
