Circulation, Volume 149, Issue 9 , Page 707-716, February 27, 2024. RNA therapeutics hold significant promise in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. RNAs are biologically diverse and functionally specific and can be used for gain- or loss-of-function purposes. The effectiveness of mRNA-based vaccines in the recent COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly proven the benefits of an RNA-based approach.

Background Arteriovenous (AV) grafts often develop severe complications of stenosis due to neointimal proliferation that occurs either at the venous anastomosis site or at the outflow receiving vein. This study compares primary patency during 12 months of follow up for a new experimental Biomodics © interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) drug-eluting graft prototype with state-of-the-art GORE® ACUSEAL (ACUSEAL) in an AV graft model in sheep.

Introduction Many factors contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), an umbrella term for several different heart diseases, including inflammation. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an important immune modulator that has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of different heart diseases, so understanding pathogenic variants of the MIF gene is important for risk stratification.

Background There are different types of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) currently in clinical use, including leaflet approximation, annular cinching, and restoration of the chordal apparatus of the mitral valve (MV). While the concomitant combination (COMBO) therapy of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) with another TMVr concept has been proven feasible, potentially offering patient-tailored treatment for severe mitral regurgitation (MR), a comparison with M-TEER alone ha

Left ventricular noncompaction is an incidental echocardiographic finding in some while others may be symptomatic. In left ventricular noncompaction, there is a thin subepicardial compact layer and a thick subendocardial layer which is non-compact and has prominent trabeculations and recesses between the trabeculae. Blood flow into and out of these recesses can provide a spectacular view on colour Doppler echocardiography, almost looking like flames of fire near the apex, in the apical four cham

Remote monitoring (RM) is recommended to follow patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).1 RM enables early detection of critical conditions and reduces in-clinic evaluations. However, adoption lags. An acknowledged barrier is insufficient personnel, linked to insufficient reimbursement, to conduct the “invisible” clinic work associated with virtual care (e.g., triaging alerts, documentation, patient communication and scheduling).2 This encourages a re-examination of the RM s

Background Discordance between coronary angiographic findings and invasive functional significance is well-established. Yet, the prevalence of this mismatch in an era increasingly utilizing invasive functional assessments, such as fractional flow reserve (FFR), remains unclear. This study examines the extent of such discrepancies in current clinical practice.
