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

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

BACKGROUND: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is substantially influenced by genetic factors. Sarcomere function is intricately associated with other organelles, particularly the reciprocal regulation ...

A 46-year-old woman with type 1 myotonic dystrophy (DM1) presented to the emergency department with dyspnea and palpitations.

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 ...

Pulsed field ablation uses electrical pulses to cause nonthermal irreversible electroporation and induce cardiac cell death. Pulsed field ablation may have effectiveness comparable to traditional ...

Exposure to hyperoxia, a high arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), may be associated with worse outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support. We examined ...

ABSTRACT: Albuminuria, an established biomarker of the progression of chronic kidney disease, is also recognized as a biomarker for the risk of cardiovascular disease. Elevated urinary albumin ...

Pulsed field ablation is a novel nonthermal cardiac ablation modality using ultra-rapid electrical pulses to cause cell death by a mechanism of irreversible electroporation. Unlike the traditional ...

Stroke is a disease of disparities, with tremendous racial and ethnic inequities in incidence, prevalence, treatment, and outcomes. The accumulating literature on the relationship between stroke and ...

COVID-19 is characterized by dysregulated thrombosis and coagulation that can increase mortality in patients. Platelets are fast responders to pathogen presence, alerting the surrounding immune cells ...

There are a lack of randomized controlled trial data comparing outcomes of different catheter-based interventions for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism. PEERLESS is a prospective, multicenter, ...
