BACKGROUND: Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes is a potentially curative strategy for ischemic heart ...

BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism (PA), an overt form of renin-independent aldosterone production, leads to a disproportionately high rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Mounting ...

BACKGROUND: Fontan circulatory failure (FCF) is a chronic state in palliated single ventricle heart disease with high morbidity and mortality rates, including heart failure, multisystem end-organ ...

Whether the early use of sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have cardioprotective effects following acute myocardial infarction is unknown. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the association ...

There are limited data on the efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation with significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR), which can lead to hepatic ...

BACKGROUND: Aortic dissection (AD) is a fatal cardiovascular disorder without effective medications due to unclear pathogenic mechanisms. Bestrophin3 (Best3), the predominant isoform of bestrophin ...

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a vascular disorder caused by occlusive atherosclerosis, which commonly impairs blood flow to the lower extremities. The prevalence of PAD is increasing globally ...

Conservative estimates by the World Health Organization suggest that at least a quarter of global cardiovascular diseases are attributable to environmental exposures. Associations between air ...

In patients with post-thrombotic syndrome, stent recanalization of iliofemoral veins or the inferior vena cava can restore venous patency and improve functional outcomes. The risk of stent thrombosis ...

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 ...

In STRONG-HF trial (Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Rapid Optimization, Helped by NT-proBNP Testing, of Heart Failure Therapies) patients with acute HF were randomized just before discharge to ...

Studying trends in mortality is essential to advance understanding of population health. Further evaluation of long‐term heart disease mortality trends and subtypes in the United States is needed to ...
