Cardiodynamic changes due to beta-blocker carvedilol and low-intensity infrared laser radiation were compared in 115 patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). The comparison has shown a similar positive effect on heart contractility and diastolic function. This gave arguments for feasibility of laser beam usage as a neurohormonal modulator in IHD patients to reduce cardiac remodulation and prevent cardiac failure.

Predictive Value of Left Atrial Strain for Thrombotic Events in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy without Atrial Fibrillation.
Radiol Cardiothorac Imaging
February 2025
From the Department of Cardiology (L.P., W.J., J.L., W.Q., Y.X., Y.K., Q.Z., Y.C.), Department of Geriatrics (K.W.), and Center of Rare Diseases (Y.C.), West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37, Guo Xue Road, Chengdu, Sichuan 610041, China; and Wexner Medical Center, College of Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio (Y.H.).
Purpose To assess the predictive value of left atrial (LA) fast long-axis strain derived from cardiac MRI for thrombotic events (TEs) in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Materials and Methods This secondary analysis of an ongoing prospective trial (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR1900024094) included consecutive participants with HCM without atrial fibrillation (AF) who underwent cardiac MRI from January 2012 to December 2020. The LA fast long-axis strain was obtained by semiautomatically tracking the distance between the atrioventricular junction and the midposterior LA wall.

Department of Cardiology, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Introduction: Cardiac Amyloidosis (CA) is characterised by amyloid fibril deposits causing heart failure (HF). Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is recognised as a potential red flag for CA, but the association remains underexplored in large-scale studies.
Methods: This nationwide registry-based cohort study in Denmark included subjects ≥60 years with a history of LSS surgery.
The Effect of Dapagliflozin on Heart Function in Animal Models of Cardiac Ischemia, A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Curr Rev Clin Exp Pharmacol
January 2025
Physiology Research Center, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Introduction: In this study, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the therapeutic effect of Dapagliflozin (DAPA) on animals suffering from myocardial ischemia reperfusion compared to the group that did not receive treatment.
Methods: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria two researchers performed the primary and secondary screening based on the title abstract and full text. After data extraction, meta-analysis was performed using STATA software.
Interleukin-10 exhibit dose-dependent effects on macrophage phenotypes and cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction.

Introduction: Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a potent immunomodulatory cytokine widely explored as a therapeutic agent for diseases, including myocardial infarction (MI). High-dose IL-10 treatment may not achieve expected outcomes, raising the question of whether IL-10 has dose-dependency, or even uncharted side-effects from overdosing. We hypothesized that IL-10 has dose-dependent effects on macrophage (Mφ) phenotypic transition and cardiac remodeling after MI.
