We studied the effect of hypokinesia combined with cold exposure on morphological parameters of the heart in Wistar-Kyoto rats and rats with spontaneous genetically determined hypertension (SHR). The pathological processes developing in the heart of white laboratory rats significantly affected cardiac function and manifested in the deterioration of the morphological structure of the heart: reduction of heart weight, thinning of the free wall of the left ventricle. These changes indicate transition to a lower energy level of functioning. At the same time, hypertrophy of the right free wall develops in both rat lines. Combined effect of hypokinesia and cold is probably a factor indirectly promoting the development of pulmonary heart.

Spin waves, or magnons, are essential for next-generation energy-efficient spintronics and magnonics. Yet, visualizing spin-wave dynamics at nanoscale and microwave frequencies remains a formidable challenge due to the lack of spin-sensitive, time-resolved microscopy. Here we report a breakthrough in imaging dipole-exchange spin waves in a ferromagnetic film owing to the development of laser-free ultrafast Lorentz electron microscopy, which is equipped with a microwave-mediated electron pulser for high spatiotemporal resolution.

Introduction And Objectives: Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is one of the cornerstones of rhythm-control therapy for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel ablation modality that involves the application of electrical pulses causing cellular death, and it has preferential tissue specificity. In this study, we aimed to share a one-year single center experience of AF ablation with PFA.

This study combines experimental techniques and mathematical modeling to investigate the dynamics of C. elegans body-wall muscle cells. Specifically, by conducting voltage clamp and mutant experiments, we identify key ion channels, particularly the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (EGL-19) and potassium channels (SHK-1, SLO-2), which are crucial for generating action potentials.

Background: In adolescents and adults with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), right ventricle (RV) electromechanical dyssynchrony (EMD) due to right bundle branch block (RBBB) is associated with reduced exercise capacity and RV dysfunction. While the development of RBBB following surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) is a frequent sequela, it is not known whether EMD is present in every patient immediately following rTOF. The specific timing of the onset of RBBB following rTOF therefore provides an opportunity to assess whether acute RBBB is associated with the simultaneous acquisition of EMD.

Introduction: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a pregnancy related cardiomyopathy with a high potential for recovery. One of the contemporary predictors studied in cardiomyopathy is right ventricular (RV) function during initial presentation.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the role of RV systolic function based on the various RV function parameters by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DE) to predict PPCM recovery within 6 months of follow-up and identify the most accurate parameter among them.
