Changes in left ventricular (LV) diastolic pressure after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or their relationship with subsequent outcomes remain poorly clarified. Accordingly, we aimed to ...

Alterations in the intestinal microbiota contribute to the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular disorders, but how they affect the development of Kawasaki disease (KD) an acute pediatric vasculitis, ...
Cardiac fibrosis is common in patients with severe aortic stenosis and an independent predictor of death. Therefore, we examined the additional value of circulating fibrosis markers as a putative ...
Disturbed flow generates oscillatory shear stress (OSS), which in turn leads to endothelial inflammation and atherosclerosis. Piezo1, a biomechanical force sensor, plays a crucial role in the ...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous disorder with varying risks of clinical outcomes, including sudden cardiac death (SCD). We aimed to identify distinct phenotypes among patients ...
Greenness—or vegetative presence—has been identified as a factor in chronic disease. The present study examines the longitudinal relationship between objective measures of greenness at the residential ...
Increased left atrial pressure (LAP) contributes to dyspnea and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to investigate ...
Background Cognitive impairment after stroke is common and is present in up to 60% of survivors. Stroke severity, indicated by both volume and location, is the most consequential predictor of ...
Renin-expressing cells are myoendocrine cells crucial for the maintenance of homeostasis. Renin is regulated by cAMP, p300 (histone acetyltransferase p300)/CBP (CREB-binding protein), and Brd4 ...
Elevated cardiac troponin (cTn) is detected in 10% to 30% of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and correlates with poor functional outcomes. Serial cTn measurements differentiate a dynamic cTn ...
Cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the more economically developed countries. Ventricular tachycardia associated with myocardial infarct is a prominent cause of cardiac arrest.
