Researchers play ultra-brief tones to stimulate the brain during deep sleep. This stimulation improves cardiac output and relaxation of the left ventricle. Such technology to improve cardiovascular function could be relevant both in disease treatment and competitive sports.

We aimed to investigate differences in tissue temperature characteristics during radiofrequency ablation using three catheters, commonly employed in the 50 W high-power short-duration (HPSD) setting and a 90 W/4 s very HPSD setting catheter. We identified temperature variations across the four ablation settings and their association with collateral damage, including injuries to the esophagus and phrenic nerve.

Hypertension, Ahead of Print. Background:Cigarette smoking/nicotine exposure in pregnancy shows an increased risk of hypertension in offspring, but the mechanisms are unclear. This study tested the hypothesis that m6A RNA hypomethylation epigenetically regulates vascular NOX (NADPH oxidase) and reactive oxygen species production, contributing to the fetal programming of a hypertensive phenotype in nicotine-exposed offspring.Methods:Pregnant rats were exposed to episodic chronic intermittent nico

This paper reviews the literature on image-guided cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) studies. Improved outcome to CRT has been associated with the placement of an LV lead in the latest activated segment free from scar. The majority of randomized clinical trials investigating a guided LV lead implantation did not show superiority over conventional implantation approaches.

Hypertension, Volume 80, Issue 12 , Page 2627-2640, December 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:Endothelial dysfunction plays a crucial role in aortic remodeling. Aerobic glycolysis and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) have, respectively, been suggested to contribute to endothelial dysfunction in many cardiovascular diseases. Here, we tested the hypothesis that glycolytic reprogramming is critical for EndoMT induction in aortic remodeling through an epigenetic mechanism mediated by a transcriptio

In this study, two independent cohorts were used to investigate for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and genetic features of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD). First, the UK Biobank was used to assess for the association between rare variants in DCM-associated genes, phenotype and outcomes in participants with CAD.

Abstract Aims Patients with heart failure (HF) and mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are often treated with calcium channel blockers (CCBs), although the safety of CCBs in these patients is uncertain. We aimed to investigate the association between CCB use and clinical outcomes in patients with HFmrEF/HFpEF; CCBs were examined overall, as well as by subtype (dihydropyridine and non-dihydropyridine).

Gardner Treadmill Protocol Gardner Treadmill Protocol, also known as Gardner-Skinner Protocol was described in 1991 [1]. It is used mainly in the evaluation of peripheral arterial disease. The seminal article evaluated the effect of handrail support on claudication distance. Handrail support reduces energy cost of treadmill walking, and can affect claudication distance and hemodynamic responses in persons with peripheral vascular disease.
