Circulating neutrophil?related proteins associate with incident heart failure and cardiac dysfunction: The ARIC study

European Journal of Heart Failure

Associations with incident heart failure (HF) and with cardiac function using Cox proportional hazards regression and linear regression models, respectively. A protein-based neutrophil activity score was derived from 10 candidate proteins using LASSO Cox regression.

Influence of Trichosanthes pericarpium extract on improving microcirculation and outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Trichosanthes pericarpium is a well-known Chinese traditional herb described with the effect of activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis and improve blood circulation. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography during hospitalization and follow-up.

Aerobic Exercise Attenuates Pressure Overload–Induced Myocardial Remodeling and Myocardial Inflammation via Upregulating miR-574-3p in Mice

Circulation: Heart Failure

Circulation: Heart Failure, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Exercise training can promote cardiac rehabilitation, thereby reducing cardiovascular disease mortality and hospitalization rates. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression levels of miR-574-3p and cardiac hypertrophy markers.

Targeting NPM1 Epigenetically Promotes Postinfarction Cardiac Repair by Reprogramming Reparative Macrophage Metabolism

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Reparative macrophages play a crucial role in limiting excessive fibrosis and promoting cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI), highlighting the significance of enhancing their reparative phenotype for wound healing.

Cardiac Reverse Remodeling and Changes in Heart Failure Indices After Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. Background:There are limited data about changes in cardiac function (cardiac reverse remodeling) and heart failure indices after transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve replacement (TT-VIVR).

Proteomic Associations of NT-proBNP (N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide) in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Circulation: Heart Failure

Circulation: Heart Failure, Ahead of Print. Background:NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) levels are variably elevated in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), even in the presence of increased left ventricular filling pressures.

Novel Pan-ERR Agonists Ameliorate Heart Failure Through Enhancing Cardiac Fatty Acid Metabolism and Mitochondrial Function

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Estrogen-related receptors ERRα and ERRγ are essential regulators of cardiac metabolism. We investigated the effect of ERR agonist on cardiac function in a pressure overload–induced HF model in vivo. BACKGROUND:Cardiac metabolic dysfunction is a hallmark of heart failure (HF).
