Cardiac arrest is the fourth stage of sudden cardiac death, which is characterized by the cessation of electrical activity in the heart, rapid circulatory and respiratory failure, and the prognosis is often poor. How to effectively predict cardiac arrest is the key and difficult point in the diagnosis and treatment process. In recent years, the research on the application of early warning scoring system in cardiac arrest has made continuous breakthroughs, from initially formulating a traditional scoring system containing only basic vital signs indicators according to a certain number of samples to continuously increasing and changing indicators, increasing the sample size, and formulating an improved scoring system with better sensitivity and specificity.

Cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) is the main cause of death in infants worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been pointed to exert crucial roles in development of CHD. The current research is designed to illuminate the impact and potential mechanism of lncRNA SNHG14 in CCHD in vitro.

The exosome of MSCs derived from human umbilical cord blood (HUCB-MSC) has been reported to have cardioprotective effects on mouse models of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiomyocyte hypoxia injury, but the exact mechanisms involved require further investigation. This paper aimed to study the role of HUCB-MSC-exosomes in inhibiting ferroptosis to attenuate myocardial injury. Compared with sham or normoxia groups, RT-PCR and western blotting showed that divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) expression was significantly increased, and Prussian blue staining, ferrous iron (Fe), MDA, and GSH level detection demonstrated that ferroptosis occurred in the infraction myocardium and in cardiomyocyte following hypoxia-induced injury.

OIP5-AS1, a highly abundant imprinted long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), has been implicated in calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). However, the function and underlying mechanism of OIP5-AS1 in CAVD progression remains unknown. In this study, osteoblastic differentiation of valve interstitial cells (VICs) isolated from human calcific aortic valves was induced by osteogenic medium.
