Comparative analysis of myocardial changes due to heart remodeling after experimental coronary stenosis and cryodestruction in rats was performed. Similar picture of heart remodeling was observed in all animals on day 45 irrespective of the type of destruction: hypertrophy of intact myocardium of the left ventricle, formation of extensive connective tissue cicatrix, and similar structural changes in the myocardium adjacent to the damage area. The type of the damaging influence possibly plays a role at the stage of lesion formation. We concluded that the proposed method of cryodestruction induces heart remodeling comparable to that observed after coronary occlusion.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and mitigating oxidative stress is crucial in managing MI. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) plays a critical role in combating oxidative stress and facilitating cardiac remodeling post-MI. Here, we engineered Cerium oxide (CeO) nanoparticle-guided assemblies of ceria/Nrf2 nanocomposites to deliver Nrf2 plasmids.

With a better understanding of the susceptibility to atrial fibrillation (AF) and the thrombogenicity of the left atrium, the concept of atrial cardiomyopathy (ACM) has emerged. The conventional viewpoint holds that AF-associated hemodynamic disturbances and thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage are the primary causes of cardiogenic embolism events. However, substantial evidence suggests that the relationship between cardiogenic embolism and AF is not so absolute, and that ACM may be an important, underestimated contributor to cardiogenic embolism events.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors represent a cutting-edge class of oral antidiabetic therapeutics that operate through selective inhibition of glucose reabsorption in proximal renal tubules, consequently augmenting urinary glucose excretion and attenuating blood glucose levels. Extensive clinical investigations have demonstrated their profound cardiovascular efficacy. Parallel basic science research has elucidated the mechanistic pathways through which diverse SGLT-2 inhibitors beneficially modulate pulmonary vascular cells and arterial remodeling.
