[Cardiac β-adrenergic receptor regulation of mitochondrial function in heart failure].

Heart failure is characterized by abnormal β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) activation and mitochondrial dysfunction. In heart failure, overactivation of β-AR mediates key pathological processes in cardiomyocytes, including oxidative stress, calcium overload and metabolic abnormalities, which subsequently lead to inflammation, myocardial apoptosis and necrosis. Mitochondria are the core organelles for energy metabolism, and also play a vital role in calcium homeostasis, redox balance and signaling transduction.

Amniotic fluid (AF)-derived exosomal miRNA have been explored as potential contributors to the pathogenesis of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). This study aimed to investigate the expression profiles of AF-derived exosomal miRNAs and their potential contribution to TOF development. Exosomes were isolated from AF samples obtained from pregnant women carrying fetuses diagnosed with TOF.

Unusual Cause of Mid Myocardial Late Gadolinium Enhancement at Cardiac MRI.

Radiol Cardiothorac Imaging

February 2025

From the Department of Radiology, Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Bangalore 560099, India (S.G., V.R.); and Department of Radiology, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Kochi, India (R.R.).

Article Synopsis
  • Cardiac MRI is the best method for detecting and assessing heart muscle conditions, with late gadolinium enhancement helping in patient classification and management.
  • Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart defect that can show myocardial enhancement on MRI.
  • This report discusses unusual mid myocardial late gadolinium enhancement found in three adult patients with ALCAPA, differing from typical enhancement patterns.

This study investigates the role of Fundc1 in cardiac protection under high-altitude hypoxic conditions and elucidates its underlying molecular mechanisms. Using cardiomyocyte-specific knockout ( ) mice, we demonstrated that deficiency exacerbates cardiac dysfunction under simulated high-altitude hypoxia, manifesting as impaired systolic and diastolic function. Mechanistically, we identified that Fundc1 regulates cardiac function through the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (mito-UPR) pathway.

Cardiomyopathies, historically regarded as rare, are increasingly recognized due to advances in imaging diagnostics and heightened clinical focus. These conditions, characterized by structural and functional abnormalities of the myocardium, pose significant challenges in both chronic and acute patient management. A thorough understanding of the hemodynamic properties, specifically the pressure-volume relationships, is essential.
