Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality increased by 78%, rising from 72.4 to 128.7 per 100 000 (2017–2022), with the greatest ...

BACKGROUND: Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a leading driver of morbidity and death after major cardiac surgery for advanced heart failure, including orthotopic heart transplantation and left ...

Evidence of myocardial injury does not necessitate a diagnosis of myocarditis. When a cardiac troponin level is over the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit, 6 there exists a spectrum of ...

Identification of children with latent rheumatic heart disease (RHD) by echocardiography, before onset of symptoms, provides an opportunity to initiate secondary prophylaxis and prevent disease ...

BACKGROUND: Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity has a variable incidence, and the development of left ventricular dysfunction is preceded by elevations in cardiac troponin concentrations.

Background: People with HIV (PWH) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Previous cross-sectional data suggest there is a higher prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in PWH than in ...

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of whether dyspnea has a cardiac cause is essential. Guidelines from 2016 were reported to result in a ...

Environmental toxicants and pollutants are causes of adverse health consequences, including well-established associations between environmental exposures and cardiovascular diseases. Environmental ...

Versican, a cardiac fibroblast–derived extracellular matrix component, was upregulated after neonatal myocardial injury and promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation. Conditional knockout of Vcan in ...

Glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA) has been acknowledged for its ability to regulate lipid homeostasis and provide benefits for various metabolic disorders. However, the impact of GUDCA on arterial ...

Using the Global Burden of Disease 2021 data, we analyzed the prevalence and disability‐adjusted life years, examining implications across demographics and geographic regions. In 2021, an estimated 54 ...

Gene Ontology analysis from differentially expressed genes revealed expected changes in cell cycle, metabolism, and contractility. In addition, mRNA splicing was among the top enriched differentially ...
