Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon condition which is increasingly recognized as a cause of significant morbidity. SCAD can cause acute coronary syndrome and myocardial infarction (MI), as well as sudden cardiac death. It presents similarly to atherosclerotic MI although typically in patients with few or no atherosclerotic risk factors, and particularly in women.

The treatment of outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias (OTVA) through radiofrequency ablation requires the precise identification of the site of origin (SOO). Pinpointing the SOO enhances the likelihood of a successful procedure, reducing intervention times and recurrence rates. Current clinical methods to identify the SOO are based on qualitative analysis of pre-operative electrocardiograms (ECG), heavily relying on physician’s expertise.

Pregnancy leads to a lot of radical changes within the body. The entire cardiovascular system reorganizes itself to sustain life for a second person inside the womb. The heart starts beating faster, and the total amount of blood in the body doubles. Mothers grow an entirely new organ, the placenta, to feed and protect the growing baby. All of this is normal, healthy, and safe.

Background Precision medicine in paediatric cardiac channelopathy and cardiomyopathy has a rapid advancement over the past years. Compared to conventional gene panel and exome-based testing, whole genome sequencing (WGS) offers additional coverage at the promoter, intronic regions and the mitochondrial genome. However, the data on use of WGS to evaluate the genetic cause of these cardiovascular conditions in children and adolescents are limited.

Background and objectives Hypertension is one of the most serious risk factors and the leading cause of mortality in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It is necessary to accurately predict the mortality of patients suffering from CVDs with hypertension. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel cost-sensitive deep neural network (CSDNN)-based mortality prediction model for out-of-hospital acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with hypertension on imbalanced data.

Here, we aimed to elucidate that the epigenetic modification of forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) at the post-transcriptional level, which might be the key trigger leading to the down-regulation of FOXP3 expression in DVT. Methods In order to explore the relationship between microRNAs (miRNAs) and FOXP3, mRNA and microRNA microarray analysis were performed.

The well known pro-coagulant state of pregnancy is an evolutionary protective process to make blood clot quicker, to save fetal loss in early pregnancy and mitigate postpartum bleeding. Still, in many women, this natural adaptive process confers an enhanced thrombotic risk. The molecular mechanisms for this pro-coagulant state are, there is increased factor VII, fibrinogen, reduced protein S.
