Evaluating the Association Between Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (Rs1801131 and Rs1801133) Gene Polymorphisms and Severity of Coronary Lesions in Patients With STEMI and NSTEMI: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Background And Aims: Mounting evidence have implicated that rs1801131 and rs1801133, located in the Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, may emerge as novel biomarkers for coronary artery disease (CAD). The Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score is also an appropriate predictor for revascularization strategy in patients with complex CAD. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between rs1801131 and rs1801133 with the severity of coronary lesions in patients with ST‑Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and Non‑ST‑Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) based on the SYNTAX score.

Troponin is a highly specific biomarker for myocardial injury. It plays a critical role in the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, elevated troponin levels are not exclusively due to cardiac ischemia and may be observed in many non-cardiac conditions, including inflammatory myopathies.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the hemodynamic changes in the vena cava and predict the likelihood of Cardiac Remodeling (CR) and Myocardial Fibrosis (MF) in athletes utilizing four-dimensional (4D) parameters.
Materials And Methods: A total of 108 athletes and 29 healthy sedentary controls were prospectively recruited and underwent Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) scanning. The 4D flow parameters, including both general and advanced parameters of four planes for the Superior Vena Cava (SVC) and Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) (sheets 1-4), were measured and compared between the different groups.
Increased resting heart rate indicates high-workload hearts with augmented aortic hydraulic power in hypertensive pigs.

Clarifying the inceptive pathophysiology of hypertensive heart disease helps to impede the disease progression. Through coarctation of the infrarenal abdominal aorta (AA), we induced hypertension in minipigs and evaluated physiological reactions and morpho-functional changes of the heart. Moderate aortic coarctation was achieved with approximately 30 mmHg systolic pressure gradient in minipigs.

Background: Mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is a rare and progressive mitochondrial disorder characterized by multi-systemic involvement. This disease manifests in various clinical manifestations, with heart and kidney disorders being among the most common. Accurate diagnosis of MELAS often necessitates a range of complex investigations.
