Hypertensive response to exercise in adult patients with repaired aortic coarctation
Conclusions A hypertensive response to exercise was present in nearly half of the patients in this large, prospective cohort of adults with repaired CoA. Risk factors for increased peak exercise SBP were male sex, absence of a bicuspid aortic valve and elevated resting SBP. Increased peak exercise SBP independently predicted hypertension at follow-up. These results support close follow-up of patients with a hypertensive response to exercise to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment of future hypertension.

Treatment of secondary mitral regurgitation by transcatheter edge-to-edge repair using MitraClip
AbstractTranscatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is becoming the standard invasive treatment for ventricular functional mitral regurgitation (MR). It is necessary to determine the severity of MR before treatment with MitraClip; however, the severity of secondary MR is usually underestimated compared with that of primary MR and varies temporally. Therefore, to accurately determine the severity of MR, it is important to correctly use the algorithm of the guidelines for valvular heart disease and aggressively perform stress echocardiography. Before performing TEER, the difficulty of the procedure should be evaluated. First, m...

Mortality and morbidity of surgical and transcatheter mitral valve repair in octogenarians: A systematic review
ConclusionOctogenarians receiving SMVr or TMVr experienced similar rates of short-term mortality and morbidity as younger populations, and when considering life expectancy, midterm mortality was also similar. With these results, denying octogenarians MVr operations based on age alone should be reconsidered. Depending on risk factors and comorbidities, either SMVr or TMVr is a viable and relatively safe option for octogenarians with severe MR.

Evaluation of robotic-assisted mitral surgery in a contemporary experience
Conclusion This initial experience suggests the reliability and clinical safety of a recently established local robotic-assisted mitral surgery. This strategy can facilitate faster postoperative recovery, and its positioning in the therapeutic armamentarium needs to be defined.

Programmed Cell Death of Endothelial Cells in Myocardial Infarction and Its Potential Therapeutic Strategy
Cardiol Res Pract. 2022 May 11;2022:6558060. doi: 10.1155/2022/6558060. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTCardiovascular disease, especially coronary artery disease and stroke, kills around one-third of the world's population, and myocardial infarction, a primary symptom of coronary heart disease, is a major worldwide health problem. Cardiovascular disease research has historically focused on promoting angiogenesis following myocardial damage. Myocardial vascular repair is crucial for improving myocardial infarction prognosis. Endothelial cells, the largest population of nonmyocytes within myocardial tissue, play an important role ...
