Transcription factors (TFs) constitute an essential component of epigenetic regulation. They contribute to the progression of vascular diseases by regulating epigenetic gene expression in several vascular diseases. Recently, numerous regulatory mechanisms related to vascular pathology, ranging from general TFs that are continuously activated to histiocyte-specific TFs that are activated under specific circumstances, have been studied.

The answer depends on what caused your high blood pressure. If it is a reversible cause which can be removed, then of course medications can be stopped. But if a reversible cause has not been found, you should be cautious about stopping medications. What are the reversible causes of high blood pressure? A transient drop in kidney function due to some illness (acute kidney injury) can raise the blood pressure.

Combined endo-epicardial catheter ablation is an established treatment for ventricular arrhythmias. Abnormal omnipolar voltage (OV) <1.5mV is a surrogate of underlying myocardial fibrosis/scar. Yet, epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a common confounder when interpretating epicardial OV maps and can result in “false” low voltage annotation even in the absence of scar.

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to thermal ablation modalities. Its tissue selectiveness stands out as a most important advantage over radiofrequency (RF) ablation or cryoablation, along with a shorter ablation time. Because of the multiple factors that drive the lesion formation, each report on PFA should be regarded as platform specific.
