Until recently, most patients with diabetes worldwide have been diagnosed when symptomatic and have high cardiovascular risk, meaning most should be prescribed cardiovascular preventive medi...
Protein phosphatase 1(PP1) is a key regulator of cardiac function through dephosphorylating serine/threonine residues within target proteins to oppose the function of protein kinases. Studie...
How benign liver steatosis progresses to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. NASH progression entails diverse pathogenic mechan...
The implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is often the only therapy in terminal heart failure (HF). However, despite technical advancements, the physical fitness of the pat...
To recognize and validate the predictor of risk factors for ICU patients with QTc intervals ≥500 ms.We retrospectively reviewed 160 ICU patients with their medical electronic records inclu...
Cardiac output (CO) responses to acute changes in body position and Valsalva maneuver (VM) were proposed to assess cardiac contractile reserve. We investigated the value of sitting position ...
Both paroxysmal high-grade second-degree and persistent third-degree atrioventricular block (AVB) are recognised in cats. Our aim was to document the presentation, echocardiographic data, co...
During the nationwide state of emergency, many hospitals could not provide outpatient cardiac rehabilitation for cardiac disease patients in order to minimize coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID...
We aimed to construct and validate a risk assessment model to identify risk factors for heart failure (HF) in patients with Takayasu's arteritis (TAK).Three hundred sixty-five patients with ...
Beta-blockers and inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system improve survival and reduce morbidity in people with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (L...
Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is an invasive procedure, globally most often used for the monitoring of heart transplant (HTx) rejection. In addition, EMB can have an important complementary ro...
Cardiac hypertrophy is an important and independent risk factor for the development of heart failure. To better understand the mechanisms and regulatory pathways involved in cardiac hypertro...
The inability of the adult mammalian heart to regenerate represents a fundamental barrier in heart failure management. In contrast, the neonatal heart retains a transient regenerative capaci...
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is common in adults with chronic heart failure (CHF), but its prevalence in children remains unclear. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the treat...
Mechanical circulatory support systems (MCSSs) are crucial devices for transplants in patients with heart failure. The blood flowing through the MCSS can be recirculated or even stagnated in...
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are reports of a person's health status that provide a global perspective of patient well-being. PROs can be classified into four primary domains: global, me...
Mis-reporting is common in dietary assessment, leading to misinterpretation of disease risk and could be important in older adults with increased chronic disease risk. This study investigate...
Heart failure (HF) constitutes a growing public health problem in aging societies: when pharmacological therapies fail, HF can be sustained intensively if patients are eligible for either or...
Protein phosphatases are important, for example, as functional antagonists of β-adrenergic stimulation of the mammalian heart. While β-adrenergic stimulations increase the phosphorylation ...
The lack of a well-designed prospective study of the determinants of urgent dialysis start led us to investigate its individual- and provider-related factors in patients seeing nephrologists...
