Aims: Ischaemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is a dynamic condition influenced by global and regional left ventricular remodelling as well as mitral valvular deformation. Exercise testing plays a substantial role in assessing the haemodynamic relevance of MR and is recommended by current guidelines. We aimed to assess the prevalence, haemodynamic consequences, and prognostic impact of dynamic MR using isometric handgrip exercise.

Background: Cardiac hypertrophy is a prevalent early pathological manifestation in various cardiovascular diseases, lacking effective interventions to impede its progression. Although oxymatrine (OMT) has shown potential benefits for cardiac function, its therapeutic efficacy and mechanism in cardiac hypertrophy remain incompletely understood. Notably, mitochondrial damage and dysregulated autophagy are pivotal pathogenic mechanisms in cardiac hypertrophy.

Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome and pediatric heart failure (PHF) has a high mortality rate. Early diagnosis is crucial for treatment and management of PHF. In clinical practice, various tests and examinations play a key role in the diagnosis of PHF, including continuously updated biomarkers, echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Computed tomography (CT)-derived Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) is linked to cardiovascular disease outcomes. However, its role in patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and the interplay with aortic stenosis (AS) cardiac damage (CD) remains unexplored. We aim to investigate the relationship between EAT characteristics, AS CD, and all-cause mortality.
