Just as the growing interest and proliferation of methods to reperfuse the coronary artery system with transcatheter techniques spurred interest and utilization of intracoronary ultrasound (at least ...

High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the foundation of resuscitation. New data reaffirm the key components of high-quality CPR: providing adequate chest compression rate and depth, ...

The Working Group on High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents has published the Fourth Report on the Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood ...

Exercise testing with echocardiography or myocardial perfusion imaging is widely used to risk‐stratify patients with suspected coronary artery disease. However, reports of diagnostic performance ...

Angiotensin-II production in the subfornical organ acting through angiotensin-II type-1 receptors is necessary for polydipsia, resulting from elevated renin–angiotensin system activity. Protein kinase ...

Ischemia in the placenta is considered the base of the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, a pregnancy-specific syndrome in which soluble endoglin (sEng) is a prognostic marker and plays a pathogenic role.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a deadly pathology with strong sexual dimorphism. Similar to humans, female mice exhibit far lower incidences of angiotensin II–induced AAAs than males. In ...

There has been considerable speculation about the role of lesion microvessels in the accumulation of leukocytes in atherosclerosis. However, direct study of microvascular recruitment of leukocytes in ...

All experiments were performed in accordance with the European Community guidelines (Directive 2010/63/EU) and the French National guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals. All animal ...

Cardiac surgery risk scores perform poorly in elderly patients, in part because they do not take into account frailty and disability which are critical determinants of health status with advanced age.

Why some but not all patients with severe aortic stenosis (SevAS) develop otherwise unexplained reduced systolic function is unclear. We investigate the hypothesis that reduced creatine kinase (CK) ...
