Aim: The study is to investigate hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on myocardial perfusion of patients after the implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES) METHODS: From December 2013 to December 2015, a total of 115 patients with CAD who received DES implantation were included in this retrospective study. They were divided into HBOT group (n=55) and control group (n=60) according to different treatments retrospectively. Gated myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was conducted in all the patients. Endothelin-1 (ET-1), high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and nitric oxide (NO) were detected by the corresponding assay kits.
Results: After HBOT treatment in HBOT group, SPECT results showed that the improvement rate of impaired sub-segments in patients of HBOT was significantly higher than that in control group (<0.05), and the parameters of PFR, TPFR, MFR/3 were displayed with marked differences between the two groups (<0.05). The laboratory results demonstrated a statistically increased level of NO and decreased levels of ET-1 and hs-CRP between the two groups (<0.05).
Conclusions: HBO may improve myocardial blood perfusion, reduce inflammation and vascular endothelial dysfunction, and further improve myocardial microcirculation in patients after the implantation of drug-eluting stents.

Heart transplantation remains the ultimate treatment strategy for neonates and children with medically refractory end-stage heart failure and utilization of donors after circulatory death (DCD) can expand th donor pool. We have previously shown that mitochondrial transplantation preserves myocardial function and viability in neonatal swine DCD hearts to levels similar to that observed in donation after brain death (DBD). Herein, we sought to investigate the transcriptomic and proteomic pathways implicated in these phenotypic changes using ex situ perfused swine hearts.

Previous studies demonstrated that dexmedetomidine (Dex) posttreatment aggravated myocardial dysfunction and reduced survival in septic mice. Yet, whether Dex elicits similar effects in septic patients as defined by Sepsis-3 remains unknown. This study sought to assess the effects of Dex-based sedation on mortality and cardiac dysfunction in septic patients defined by Sepsis-3 and to further reveal the mechanisms in septic rats.

Background: Coronary heart disease the most prevalent form of cardiovascular disease, results from the blockage of blood flow through arteries. The Myocardial Perfusion Scan (MPS) is considered a non-invasive method to assess the heart condition and provides valuable information, such as End Diastolic Volume (EDV), End Systolic Volume (ESV), Ejection Fraction (EF), Lung to Heart Ratio (LHR), and Transient Ischemic Dilatation (TID).
Objective: This study aimed to investigate changes in gated heart scan parameters to diagnose patients, who are candidates for heart surgery.

Aims: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are thought to have an attenuated response to adenosine during vasodilator stress testing. We sought to investigate the haemodynamic and hyperaemic effects of adenosine in patients with AF undergoing adenosine-stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) assessment.
Methods And Results: We retrospectively examined 318 patients referred for clinical adenosine-stress CMR (AF = 158, sinus rhythm [SR] = 160).

Introduction: Cardioplegia (CP) is integral to myocardial protection during cardiac surgery. Two standard cardioplegic solutions viz. Del Nido solution (DNS) and St Thomas solution (STS) are widely used in cardiac surgeries.
