Cardiovascular Reflexes - Vagus as the Key Player
This article intends to explain various reflexes involved in the homeostasis of the cardiovascular system and the role of vagus as the key component in all these reflexes. The article also explains the components of the reflex arc, the stimulus and response, and the role of reflex in a few diseases. This article describes 22 different cardiovascular reflexes in detail.PMID:38685784 | DOI:10.2174/011573403X284831240408053528 (Source: Current Cardiology Reviews)

Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Contemporary Review of Medical and Surgical Therapy
Curr Cardiol Rev. 2024;20(2):72-81. doi: 10.2174/011573403X240302230925043500.ABSTRACTAmyloidosis is a systemic disease initiated by deposition of misfolded proteins in the extracellular space, due to which multiple organs may be affected concomitantly. Cardiac amyloidosis, however, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in this population due to infiltrative /restrictive cardiomyopathy. This review attempts to focus on contemporary medical and surgical therapies for the different types of cardiac amyloidosis. Amyloidosis affecting the heart are predominantly of the transthyretin type (acquired in the older or ge...

Atrial Thrombus or Atrial Myxoma? Preliminary Analysis of Echocardiographic Findings of a Case Series
CONCLUSION: An atrial thrombus is occasionally difficult to differentiate from an atrial myxoma in patients without atrial fibrillation, especially when it is not attached to the left atrial appendage. Upon review of the echocardiographic findings of the 8 patients described in our study, it is essential to highlight the fact that a thrombus can mimic a myxoma and thereby create a diagnostic conundrum.PMID:38676477 | DOI:10.2174/011573403X281926240417110330 (Source: Current Cardiology Reviews)

Pro- and Anti-inflammatory Biomarkers Responses after Aerobic Training in Heart Transplant Recipients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: PE is associated with IL-6 reductions, although TNF alpha and adpN did not change after this intervention in HT patients. Therefore, PE is an effective intervention to downregulate IL-6 in post-HT patients.PMID:38571360 | DOI:10.2174/011573403X269909240320061952 (Source: Current Cardiology Reviews)
