Background: Metabolic cardiomyopathy is characterized by structural and functional changes to the heart and interstitial fibrosis without coronary artery disease or hypertension. Inborn metabolic defects are a common cause of cardiomyopathy in children. There are more than 40 kinds of inborn metabolic defects that cause cardiomyopathy.

Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm, a rare occurrence, develops when a ruptured ventricle is encapsulated by the pericardium or scar tissue. Unlike free intrapericardial rupture, which often results in cardiac tamponade and fatal outcome, there are instances where the cardiac rupture remains contained, forming a pseudoaneurysm and averting immediate tamponade. We describe a 43-year-old male who underwent successful surgical repair of LV rupture following inferior wall myocardial infarction that resulted in the formation of a large pseudoaneurysm.

Targeting the cardiomyocyte cell cycle is a promising strategy for heart repair following injury. Here, we identify a cardiac-regeneration-associated PIWI-interacting RNA (CRAPIR) as a regulator of cardiomyocyte proliferation. Genetic ablation or antagomir-mediated knockdown of CRAPIR in mice impairs cardiomyocyte proliferation and reduces heart regenerative potential.

The cardiac microenvironment profoundly restricts the efficacy of myocardial regeneration tactics for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). A prospective approach for MI therapeutics encompasses the combined strategy of scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) to alleviate oxidative stress injury and facilitating macrophage polarization towards the regenerative M2 phenotype. In this investigation, we fabricated a ROS-sensitive hydrogel engineered to deliver our previously engineered IL-1β-VHH for myocardial restoration.

Background: Cardioimmunology is an emerging branch of medicine whose development has been facilitated by more sophisticated diagnostic procedures. Recent studies have mainly focused on the immune response during myocardial infarction (MI), and there is evidence that both resident and external immune cells participate in acute inflammatory disease, as well as tissue remodeling. Cardiac Innate Immune Cells: Following MI, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs) and mast cells (MCs) are the main players in the heart.
