Previous studies have observed inconsistent associations between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and heart failure (HF), but these studies were prone to bias based on reverse causality and residual confoun...
More and more evidence indicates sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) may display clinical benefits for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the mechanisms of the ac...
The lack of dystrophin in cardiomyocytes in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is associated with progressive decline in cardiac function eventually leading to death by 20–40 years of age. The aim of this prosp...
The effect of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on myocardial function indices such as left ventricular ejection fraction has been widely studied. However,...
Although Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine concentration (Cr) has been widely measured in daily clinical practice, BUN-to-Cr ratio (BCR) for prognosis among patients admitted with cardiogenic shoc...
Immune abnormalities and inflammatory responses play critical roles in progression of hypertension. Basic studies have confirmed that Th17 cell and related cytokines are important in promoting hypertension-med...
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is now recognized as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which is thought to be more prevalent in women. However, the male patients, on the other ...
Certain cerebrovascular events can induce electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities and cardiac dysfunction. The most frequent patterns reported are nonspecific ST-T change, inverted or broad T wave, prolongatio...
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), is a pathological dilatation of the aortic segment with the tendency to expand, dissect or rupture, and risk of mortality. The progression rate is mainly slow. As the risk of ru...
Pressure–volume (PV) loops provide comprehensive information of cardiac function, but commonly implies an invasive procedure under general anesthesia. A novel technique has made it possible to non-invasively e...
Commotio cordis is an event in which a blunt, non-penetrating blow to the chest occurs, triggering a life-threatening arrhythmia and often sudden death. This phenomenon is often seen in young, male athletes an...
Endothelial dysfunction appears early in the development of cardiovascular disease and is associated with type 2 diabetes. We, therefore, tested the hypothesis that endothelial dysfunction is already present i...
Few studies examined the relationship between triglyceride/glucose index (TyG index) and atherosclerosis in Japanese adults. Therefore, this study evaluated their relationship, as measured based on the brachia...
Blood lipids are strong risk factors for the progression of atherosclerotic plaques. However, data on gender-specific associations are limited.
Cellular and animal studies have shown that endoplasmic reticulum protein B (Nogo-B) is associated with hypertension, but that association has not been fully studied in humans. Therefore, the expression levels...
Education differences in cardiometabolic risk and disease still play a major role in the magnitude of the socioeconomic health disparities in high-income societies. However, the knowledge on how education diff...
The relationship between ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unknown. We aime...
