It was already known that mirabegron, a β3-adrenoceptor agonist, affected cardiac muscle, data also demonstrated that mirabegron induced a relaxant effect in rat aortic vessels by a mechanism dependent on nitric oxide production. This study examined the possible effects of mirabegron on the coronary vascular tone. Results show that mirabegron induced an acute relaxant effect on coronary segments' contractility, and the relaxation is partly dependent on nitric oxide and K+ channel activation. These findings emphasize the need to consider these mechanisms when translating mirabegron's effects to clinical applications. Mirabegron, the first approved β3-adrenoceptor agonist, has demonstrated positive effects in heart failure. Research indicates that β3 agonists induce prompt relaxation in rat aortic and human coronary vessels through a pathway mediated by NO. This study examined mirabegron's influence on bovine coronary segments' contractility. Using isolated tissue baths, the impact of mirabegron on bovine coronary artery segments' contractility was assessed. The plasma level of NO was measured with a specialized kit. NO was determined by measuring plasma nitrite concentrations by spectrophotometric analysis at 540 nm. Mirabegron evoked relaxation in bovine coronary artery segments in a dose-dependent manner. However, this effect was inhibited by the presence of potassium chloride (KCl) (70mM) and methylene blue (30μM). Both potassium channel and NO pathways were found to play a role in the relaxations induced by mirabegron. Furthermore, mirabegron was observed to enhance in vivo nitric oxide (NO) levels, a crucial signaling molecule maintaining cardiovascular equilibrium. Our findings illustrate that mirabegron induces coronary vessel relaxation through the activation of both NO and K+ channels. These findings emphasize the need to consider these mechanisms when translating mirabegron's effects to clinical applications.

Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysms are rare and life-threatening conditions caused by myocardial rupture contained by external tissues. Idiopathic cases, with no identifiable cause, are exceptionally rare. We report the case of a 45-year-old asymptomatic male with no significant medical or family history, in whom an incidental LV pseudoaneurysm was discovered during a routine health check.

Background: The choice of valve prosthesis in women planning a pregnancy is still controversial. The durability of biological prostheses and the characteristic thrombogenic of mechanical prostheses are limitations to the pregnancy's successful Objectives: To study the pregnancy success rate after valve prosthesis implantation, and identify the variables related to maternal outcomes.
Methods: Prospective study with 78 pregnant women with bovine pericardial prosthesis (Group BP) and 50 with a mechanical prosthesis (Group MP), who received prior guidance on the risks of pregnancy.
Co-Exposure to Formaldehyde and Acrolein Generates a New Protein Adduct Activating RAGE.

Reactive carbonyl species (RCS), sourced exogenously and endogenously, can modify proteins to generate advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which can lead to cell damage and various diseases. To date, it has not been reported that two or more RCSs can modify a single amino acid residue in proteins. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether and how formaldehyde and acrolein simultaneously modify lysine residues in proteins and whether the resulting adducts are capable of binding to the AGE receptor (RAGE).
