Objective: This study aims to explore the expression and significance of ATPase in myocardium of congestive heart failure induced by pressure overload in rats.
Methods: Male SD rats were divided into 3 groups randomly: Control group (C group), coarctation of abdominal aorta 15 weeks group (A group) and sham operation group (SH group). The hemodynamics parameters were measured. The size of adenine acid pool (ATP, ADP) in myocardium was measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The mRNA copies of ATPase-α subunit, ATPase-6 subunit in ventricular myocardium were determined by RT-PCR. The protein content of F1-ATPase in mitochondria was detected by Western blot analysis.
Results: The ±dp/dtmax and contents of ATP and ADP decreased significantly in myocardium were decreased in A group. Compared with C and SH group, the mRNA copies of ATPase-α subunit, ATPase-6 subunit and the protein content of F1-ATPase were decreased in A group.
Conclusion: The expression of F1-ATPase decreased parallel with abnormal of the adenine nucleotide in myocardium of congestive heart failure. It may play a critical role in disturbance of energy metabolism in disfunction of heart.

Background: Timing of treatment of aortic stenosis (AS) is of key importance. AS severity is currently determined by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with a main focus on mean trans-aortic gradients. However, echocardiography has its limitations.

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) affects more than 6 million adults in the United States, contributing to substantial morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Despite advances in medical care, many medications can exacerbate HF, yet their prevalence of use remains unknown. This study examined the national use of prescription medications that could exacerbate HF in adults with self-reported HF.

Background: Cardioversion, a rhythm control treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), requires ruling out cardiac embolic sources, often originating from the left atrial appendage (LAA). Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is used for LAA evaluation, but it is invasive and not widely available. This study aimed to identify cardiovascular risk factors linked to LAA abnormalities and predictors of thromboembolic events and all-cause mortality.

Cardiac complications following non-cardiac surgeries are a significant cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the incidence and predictors of cardiac complications in patients undergoing elective and urgent non-cardiac surgeries. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for studies published between 2010 and 2024.

Introduction: Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a rare but well recognized complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with increased morbidity and poor clinical outcomes. There is a scarcity of literature describing the prevalence and risk factors associated with this complication. The aim of this study was to identify patients who are at risk of developing TCM in non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
