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

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

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

A cardiac catheterization takes ≈45 minutes to complete. After a coronary angiogram, depending on the severity and pattern of any blockages detected in the coronary arteries, 3 common treatment paths ...

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 ...

BACKGROUND: Plasma NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) is commonly used to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but its diagnostic performance in the ...

Guideline-directed medical therapies and guideline-directed nonpharmacological therapies improve quality of life and survival in patients with heart failure (HF), but eligible patients, particularly ...

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor in the development of atherogenesis. METTL4 (methyltransferase-like protein 4) mediates N6- methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA) of mammalian mitochondrial ...

Left ventricular (LV) systolic function is a powerful prognosticator of clinical outcome following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 1, 2, 3 and patients who do not have in‐hospital LV ...

A total of 8 canines, with a weight of 35 to 40 kg and an age of 2.90±0.56 years, were randomized after the surgical procedure by the weight order into 2 observation groups: a 48-hour group (N=4) and ...

Aims: This study aimed to analyze two decades of consecutive mortality data to investigate the association between cancer and cancer with heart failure across the United States (US), discerning ...

Background: Participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is enhanced by proximity to CR facilities and communication between inpatient and outpatient settings but may become fragmented when patients ...
