Myocardial biomechanical effects of fetal aortic valvuloplasty
Biomech Model Mechanobiol. 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s10237-024-01848-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFetal critical aortic stenosis with evolving hypoplastic left heart syndrome (CAS-eHLHS) can progress to a univentricular (UV) birth malformation. Catheter-based fetal aortic valvuloplasty (FAV) can resolve stenosis and reduce the likelihood of malformation progression. However, we have limited understanding of the biomechanical impact of FAV and subsequent LV responses. Therefore, we performed image-based finite element (FE) modeling of 4 CAS-eHLHS fetal hearts, by performing iterative simulations to match image-based ch...

Embolic strokes of undetermined source: a clinical consensus statement of the ESC Council on Stroke, the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging and the European Heart Rhythm Association of the ESC
Eur Heart J. 2024 Apr 30:ehae150. doi: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehae150. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOne in six ischaemic stroke patients has an embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), defined as a stroke with unclear aetiology despite recommended diagnostic evaluation. The overall cardiovascular risk of ESUS is high and it is important to optimize strategies to prevent recurrent stroke and other cardiovascular events. The aim of clinicians when confronted with a patient not only with ESUS but also with any other medical condition of unclear aetiology is to identify the actual cause amongst a list of potential differentia...

The prognostic impact of insulin resistance surrogates in patients with acute myocardial infarction with and without type 2 diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: TyG index was an independent risk factor for in-hospital death in patients with STEMI or NSTEMI. TyG index, TyG-BMI and METS-IR were not independent risk factors for MACCE at 12 month follow-up. TyG index and METS-IR have low predictive value in predicting MACCE within 12 months after STEMI and NSTEMI.PMID:38685054 | DOI:10.1186/s12933-024-02240-z (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Cellular senescence, a hallmark of aging, is characterized by irreversible cell cycle arrest and the manifestation of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, which has emerged as a significant contributor to aging, mortality, and a spectrum of chronic ailments. An increasing body of preclinical and clinical research has established connections between senescence, senescence-associated secretory phenotype, and age-related cardiac and vascular ...
