Two promising approaches in the treatment of myocardial infarction: stem cells and gene therapy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), characterized by a high incidence rate and high mortality, have become the leading cause of death globally. CVDs include coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and peripheral vascular diseases. In China, the death rate of CVDs ranks the first in all major diseases.

Risk of myocardial infarction and stroke following bloodstream infection: a population-based self-controlled case series

Open Heart

Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) events triggered by inflammation are an underappreciated and poorly quantified cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs). We aimed to determine the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke after BSI.

Investigating the impact of multidimensional sleep traits on cardiovascular diseases and the mediating role of depression

Open Heart

Background Observational studies have reported that sleep is associated with the risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the causal relationships among various sleep traits remain contentious, and whether MDD mediates the impact of specific sleep traits on CVDs is unclear.
