Background A quarter of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) were asymptomatic, and only a third of them survived at the end of 4 years. Only a select subset of these patients was recommended for aortic valve replacement (AVR) by the current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines. We intended to study the effect of early AVR (eAVR) in this subset of asymptomatic patients with preserved left ventricle function.

Purpose Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) represents the gold standard to detect myocarditis. Left ventricular (LV) deformation imaging provides additional diagnostic options presumably exceeding conventional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). The present study aimed to analyze the feasibility to detect myocarditis in patients (pts) with preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF) by TTE compared to cMRI.

Preamble 15 % of body weight is fat. (10kg) Out of which just 250 mg of cholesterol is streaming in blood. We must understand Fat, lipid and cholesterol are different entities. LDL is obviously a target against atherosclerosis. While the total body seems to do little in determining cholesterol levels, what is more scientifically shocking is slope of the curve between blood LDL levels and plaque burden is rarely linear.

However, the therapeutic targets related M2 macrophages still remain largely elusive.
