BACKGROUND: Penetrance and risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) are increasingly recognized as being genotype specific. Therefore, ...

BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that exposures to air pollution and nonoptimal temperatures are associated with a ...

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have highlighted the deleterious role of high phosphate intake in hypertension by means of ...

Background: Major noncardiac surgery carries high rates of postoperative myocardial injury and other complications. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) was reported to decrease these complications.

The recent EARLY TAVR trial (Evaluation of TAVR Compared to Surveillance for Patients With Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis) investigated the effect of early intervention with transcatheter aortic ...

Lymphatic vessels are responsible for tissue drainage, and their malfunction is associated with chronic diseases. Lymph uptake occurs via specialized open cell-cell junctions between capillary ...

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common and progressive valve disease with significant mortality and hospitalization burden. Tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair provides a treatment option ...

Despite oral anticoagulation, patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remain at risk of ischemic stroke and systemic embolism (SE) events. For patients whose residual risk is sufficiently high, ...

The effect of single food‐based dietary interventions on the American Heart Association's cardiovascular health score, Life's Essential 8 (LE8), is unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the ...

The EF-hand Ca 2+ sensor protein S100A1 has been identified as a molecular regulator and enhancer of cardiac performance. The ability of S100A1 to recognize and modulate the activity of targets such ...

The “open vein hypothesis” postulates that early thrombus clearance and restoration of venous blood flow may prevent postthrombotic syndrome after proximal deep vein thrombosis. Since its proposal ...

Few clinical data are available on NEXN mutation carriers, and the gene’s involvement in cardiomyopathies or sudden death has not been fully established. Our objectives were to assess the prevalence ...
