Straight back syndrome is a congenital skeletal abnormality of the upper dorsal spine. This clinical case describes a 29-year-old woman with atypical chest pain and a changing murmur that was attributed to dynamic right ventricular outflow tract obstruction on echocardiography. ().

Congenital heart disease (CHD) represents nearly one-third of congenital birth defects annually, with ventricular septal defect (VSD) being the most common type. The aim of this study was to explore the role of specific GATA binding protein 6 gene () mutations as a potential etiological factor in the development of VSD through an in silico approach. Data were collected from the human gene databases: DisGeNET and GeneCards, with protein-protein interaction networks constructed via STRING and Cytoscape.

The alarming prevalence and mortality rates associated with cardiovascular diseases have emphasized the urgency for innovative detection solutions. Traditional methods, often costly, bulky, and prone to subjectivity, fall short of meeting the need for daily monitoring. Digital and portable wearable monitoring devices have emerged as a promising research frontier.

Background: An initial decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) often leads to reluctance to continue life-saving therapies in patients with heart failure (HF).

Objectives: The goal of this study was to describe the association between initial decline in eGFR and subsequent clinical outcomes in patients randomized to placebo or finerenone.

Methods: In this prespecified analysis of FINEARTS-HF (Finerenone Trial to Investigate Efficacy and Safety Superior to Placebo in Patients with Heart Failure), we examined the association between initial decline in eGFR (≥15%) from randomization to 1 month and subsequent outcomes in patients assigned to finerenone or placebo.

Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) and its severity are correlated with the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. Early detection and monitoring of LVSD are of utmost importance. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is an essential indicator for evaluating left ventricular function in clinical practice, the current echocardiography-based evaluation method is not avaliable in primary care and difficult to achieve real-time monitoring capabilities for cardiac dysfunction.

Background: Diabetic myocardial disorder (DbMD, evidenced by abnormal echocardiography or cardiac biomarkers) is a form of stage B heart failure (SBHF) at high risk for progression to overt HF. SBHF is defined by abnormal LV morphology and function and/or abnormal cardiac biomarker concentrations.

Objective: To compare the evolution of four DbMD groups based on biomarkers alone, systolic and diastolic dysfunction alone, or their combination.
