Background Belt electrode skeletal muscle electrical stimulation (B-SES) is an emerging therapy anticipated to yield more favorable outcomes than conventional neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), owing to its larger stimulation area. However, information on its efficacy and safety in patients with heart failure remains limited. Case presentation A 43-year-old man with a body mass index of 41 kg/m 2 was admitted to our hospital for acute heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy.

The 2017 World Health Organization Fact Sheet highlights that coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death globally, responsible for approximately 30% of all deaths. In this context, machine learning (ML) technology is crucial in identifying coronary artery disease, thereby saving lives. ML algorithms can potentially analyze complex patterns and correlations within medical data, enabling early detection and accurate diagnosis of CAD.

Introduction and objectives Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) mediates the entry of pyruvate into mitochondria, determining whether pyruvate is incorporated into the Krebs cycle or metabolized in the cytosol. In heart failure (HF), a large amount of pyruvate is metabolized to lactate in the cytosol rather than being oxidized inside the mitochondria.
