The cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) regulates cross-bridge formation and controls the duration of systole and diastole at the whole heart level. As known, mutations in cMyBP-C increase the cross-bridge number and rate of their cycling, hypercontractility, and myocardial hypertrophy. We investigated the effects of the mutations D75N and P161S of cMyBP-C related to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on the mechanism of force generation in isolated slow skeletal muscle fibers.

: Resistance exercises (REs) are a type of physical activity that individuals from many age groups have been doing recreationally, both as amateurs and professionally, in their daily lives in recent years. It is crucial to understand the effects of such sports on cardiac morphology in order to maximize the benefit of training and to tailor the training content accordingly. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between training experience (TE) and left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic parameters and left atrial (LA) mechanical function in healthy subjects who regularly performed RE for different durations.

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-7 (ADAMTS-7) belongs to the family of metalloproteinases that contributes to tissue homeostasis during morphogenesis and reproduction. These metalloproteinases regulate various cell functions such as cell proliferation, are important regulators in tissue regeneration, and play a role in vascular remodelling, which is involved in atherosclerosis development. Despite the well-established association between ADAMTS-7 and atherosclerotic disease, data regarding the metalloproteinase's association with LV function remain scarce.

Cardiovascular diseases resulting from myocardial infarction (MI) remain a leading cause of death worldwide, imposing a substantial burden on global health systems. Current MI treatments, primarily pharmacological and surgical, do not regenerate lost myocardium, leaving patients at high risk for heart failure. Engineered heart tissue (EHT) offers a promising solution for MI and related cardiac conditions by replenishing myocardial loss.

Myocardial cells and the extracellular matrix achieve their functions through the availability of energy. In fact, the mechanical and electrical properties of the heart are heavily dependent on the balance between energy production and consumption. The energy produced is utilized in various forms, including kinetic, dynamic, and thermal energy.
