Recent advances in the field of molecular biology have led to a better understanding of the pathological mechanisms of cardiovascular disease. The impact of these findings will shape the future of treatment modalities for cardiovascular disorders. Postulated targets and biological rationale of new techniques are being developed in a race towards molecular therapies for vascular diseases. Whether it is modulation of transmembrane cell receptors or phenotypic changes via vectors that mediate gene transfer, there is no doubt that molecular strategies will be an integral part of the future. Here we examine past and recent perspectives, describe directions and challenges in cardiac and cardiovascular areas of research, and discuss relevance to the field of cardiovascular perfusion.

Many nurses and allied professionals (NAPs) lack the skills, knowledge and confidence to engage in conducting and implementing research. This statement describes the importance of NAPs' involvement in clinical research within the context of cardiovascular care. The existing gaps, barriers and enablers to NAPs involvement in research as a potential response to workforce issues in these professions as well as to contribute to excellence in patient care delivery and associated outcomes are identified.

Apelin, a (neuro) vasoactive peptide, plays a prominent role in controlling water balance and cardiovascular functions. Apelin and its receptor co-localize with vasopressin in magnocellular vasopressinergic neurons. Apelin receptors (Apelin-Rs) are also expressed in the collecting ducts of the kidney, where vasopressin type 2 receptors are also present.

Importance: A comprehensive lipid panel is recommended by guidelines to evaluate atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk, but uptake is low.
Objective: To evaluate whether direct outreach including bulk orders with and without text messaging increases lipid screening rates.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Pragmatic randomized clinical trial conducted from June 6, 2023, to September 6, 2023, at 2 primary care practices at an academic health system among patients aged 20 to 75 years with at least 1 primary care visit in the past 3 years who were overdue for lipid screening.
