Article Synopsis
  • Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) is a specific type of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that has better clinical outcomes compared to non-ApHCM, including lower rates of major cardiovascular events and end-stage heart failure.
  • In a study with over 5,600 patients, those with ApHCM had significantly lower incidences of serious heart-related issues during a median follow-up of 4.6 years, with 20.4% of ApHCM patients experiencing major adverse events compared to 33.3% of non-ApHCM patients.
  • The findings suggest that ApHCM is associated with a decreased risk of critical health outcomes, indicating that patients with this condition may have a

Background: Rate-pressure product (RPP) calculated by multiplying heart rate by systolic blood pressure, is a convenient indicator closely associated with cardiac work or myocardial oxygen consumption. It has been reported to relate strongly to important indices of cardiovascular risk in patients with myocardial ischemia. However, its relationship with short- and long-term mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing primary PCI/immediate invasive strategy has not been defined.

Coronary artery tortuosity (CAT) is frequently detected during coronary angiography or coronary electron-beam computed tomography angiography by cardiovascular interventionalists. In this article, we described the case of a 69-year-old female patient with recurrent chest discomfort for 1 month and recurrence 1 week ago, accompanied by emaciation, gastrointestinal discomfort, and low skin temperature at the extremities. After a series of tests, the patient was finally diagnosed with severe CAT and coexisting connective tissue disease.

Background: Admission blood pressure was closely associated with adverse cardiac events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. However, data regarding comparison of resting postoperative systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure and pulse pressure with short- and long-term mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was still lacking.

Methods: The study analyzed 1987 ACS patients undergoing primary PCI, between January 2014 and October 2018.

The expression of Nesprin-1 increased in aortic dissection: why?

J Thorac Dis

December 2019

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Ren Ji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200127, China.

Background: To detect the expression of Nesprin-1 in aortic dissection (AD) in patients and to investigate the role of Nesprin-1 in the pathogenesis of AD in a mouse model.

Methods: Blood and tissue specimens from AD patients were collected. The expression of Nesprin-1 in tissues from AD patients and non-AD patients with heart disease was studied by western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).
