During embryonic development, changes in the cardiovascular microstructure and material properties are essential for an integrated biomechanical understanding. This knowledge also enables realistic predictive computational tools, specifically targeti...
Innate and adaptive leukocytes rapidly mobilize to ischemic tissues after myocardial infarction in response to damage signals released from necrotic cells. Leukocytes play important roles in cardiac repair and regeneration such as inflammation initia...
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common cardiac valve disease that often progresses to serious secondary complications requiring surgery. MVP manifests as extracellular matrix disorganization and biomechanically incompetent tissues in the adult setti...
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common cause of valvular heart disease. Although many patients with MVP have a benign course, there is increasing recognition of an arrhythmic phenotype associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death...
Choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) are often transient and benign findings observed in pregnancy screenings. This study aimed to examine the association between the frequency of congenital heart diseases and the detection of CPCs. In this prospective case-c...
Background: SARS-CoV-2 can lead to several systemic complications, including myocardial injuries; these might be worsened by heavy physical activity. The optimal approach to cardiac risk stratification following SARS-CoV-2 infection in athletes for a...
(1) Background: ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an inflammatory disease in which neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes accumulate in the ischemic myocardium and have important functions. Nucleolar-organizing regions (NORs) are the s...
Remote dielectric sensing (ReDSTM) is a novel technology that noninvasively quantifies lung fluid levels. Trends in ReDS values following hemodialysis remain uninvestigated. In a 64-year-old man with clinically stable hemodynamics, 2.7 L of fluid was...
(1) Background: Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) still experience many major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including myocardial infarction, heart failure, kidney failure, coronary events, cerebrovascular events, and death. Thi...
Cardiovascular disease, especially coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in women globally. The development of cardiometabolic conditions in pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes mellitus...
