Background: Sterofundin (SF) is one of the most widely used electrolyte solutions in almost all areas of medicine, with particular importance in intensive care. It provides powerful correction of acid-base imbalances, ion fluctuations, and impaired energy metabolism, which are the three most important characteristics after myocardial infarction (MI). However, whether and how SF protects the heart from post-MI damage are largely unknown.

NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (NO-GC) is involved in the (patho)physiology of the mammalian heart. However, little is known about the individual cardiac cell types that express NO-GC and the role of the enzyme in cardiac fibrosis. Here, we describe the cellular expression of NO-GC in healthy and fibrotic murine myocardium; these data were compared with scRNA-seq data.

Fibroblasts play a pivotal role in key processes within the heart, particularly in cardiac remodeling that follows both ischemic and non-ischemic injury. During remodeling, fibroblasts drive fibrosis and inflammation by reorganizing the extracellular matrix and modulating the immune response, including toll-like receptor (TLR) activation, to promote tissue stabilization. Building on findings from our prior research on heart tissue from patients with advanced coronary artery disease and aortic valve disease, this study sought to explore specific effects of TLR1, TLR3, and TLR7 activation on NF-κB signaling, proinflammatory cytokine production, and γ-protocadherin expression in cardiac fibroblasts.

Background: Autonomic innervation of the heart plays a pivotal role not only in regulating the heart rate but also in modulating the cardiac cell microenvironment via cell-cell interactions and influencing the heart's repair capabilities. Currently, the primary clinical approach for treating myocardial infarction (MI) is percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the myocardial salvage rate remains low for patients with advanced disease.

In this case report, the role of a myocardial bridge of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and recent use of cannabis in a sudden death of a drug user is discussed, also considering the relevance of histopathological pulmonary findings. A 37-year-old man with a history of drug abuse was found dead in his house. External and autoptic examination were performed, as well as histologic and toxicologic analyses of tissues, organs and body fluids samples.
