Results of experimental studies have shown that β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA), an exercise-induced myokine-like molecule, is an endogenous negative regulator of fat mass in mice, but it re...
The PARALLEL-HF study assessed the efficacy and safety of sacubitril/valsartan vs. enalapril in Japanese patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This open...
It remains unclear whether the long-term prognostic value of serum uric acid (SUA) at admission differs in acute decompensated heart failure (HF) patients across the spectrum of left ventric...
Sacubitril/valsartan (SAC/VAL), an angiotensin receptor blocker-neprilysin inhibitor, has been widely used to treat several types of heart failure. Nevertheless, the effects of drugs in mitr...
Diastolic stiffness coefficient (β) and end-diastolic elastance (Eed) are ventricular-specific diastolic parameters. However, the diastolic function of right ventricle had not been investig...
A prospective, single-center, single-arm, and open-design study was performed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of transseptal transcatheter mitral valve replacement in the treatment of...
MRI T2 mapping has been proven to be sensitive to the level of blood oxygenation. We hypothesized that impaired exercise capacity in chronic heart failure is associated with a greater differ...
The effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in patients with heart failure (HF) remain controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the efficacy of HII...
We evaluated the early changes in left ventricular (LV) volumetric, functional, and tissue characteristics in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer patients ...
Preserving persons' dignity is integral to nursing. More research is needed to explore how a diversity of patients, particularly those that experience illness from a young age, experience di...
Isolated coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare entity in which evidence for both prognosis and need for perinatal treatment is lacking. We aim to evaluate the characteristics, evolution an...
To observe the clinical effect of Qiliqiangxin capsule combined with recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide in acute left heart failure patients 7 days after onset as well as the effec...
The muscular dystrophies caused by dystrophin deficiency, the so-called dystrophinopathies, are associated with impaired cardiac contractility and arrhythmias, which considerably contribute ...
Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of the global burden of disability and mortality. However, the comprehensive epidemic status of HF in China is unclear. Notably, the gender-sp...
Epidemiology of wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt-CA) remains poorly defined. A better characterization of pathways leading to ATTRwt-CA diagnosis is of key importance, and...
The aim of this study was to assess heart failure (HF) treatment in patients with and without obesity in a large contemporary real-world Western European cohort.Patients with a left ventricu...
Heart failure (HF) is a common chronic condition that affects over 26 million people worldwide. It is a progressive and debilitating disease with a broad symptom profile, intermittently mark...
Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is a prominent form of heart failure, but the molecular mechanisms underlying ICM remain relatively understudied due to marked phenotypic heterogeneity. Alterat...
We present an unusual case of an anomalous left coronary artery arising from the contralateral sinus of Valsalva: a 63-year-old male patient who consulted to our emergency department with 1-...
Development in paediatric and interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery resulted in an increase in the number and average age of adult congenital heart disease patients. Comorbidities ma...
