Figure 1. The 64-rows MDCT before pulmonary vein (PV) catheter ablation. (A), Electroanatomical mapping during PV ablation. (B), Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) after PV ablation. (C), PV ...
BACKGROUND: How the sarcomeric complex is continuously turned over in long-living cardiomyocytes is unclear. According to the prevailing model of sarcomere maintenance, sarcomeres are maintained by ...
The term forward problem of electrocardiography is used to denote the computation of the electric potential field generated by cardiac excitation within and on the torso surface. In this class of ...
BACKGROUND: Death certificate data indicate that hypertension may have increased as a contributing cause of death among US adults. Hypertension is not commonly recorded on death certificates although ...
BACKGROUND: The relationship between heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) is clear, with up to half of patients with HF progressing to AF. The pathophysiological basis of AF in the context ...
Background Rest‐activity rhythms (RARs), a measure of circadian rhythmicity in the free‐living setting, are related to mortality risk, but evidence is limited on associations with cardiovascular ...
Salt (sodium chloride) is an essential nutrient required to maintain physiological functions. However, for most people, daily salt intake far exceeds their physiological need and is habitually greater ...
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) has been associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and dementia risk. To better understand the OH-dementia association, we assessed the associations ...
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent condition that can cause or exacerbate heart failure, is an important risk factor for stroke, and is associated with pronounced morbidity and ...
Reducing blood pressure (BP) is a highly effective strategy for long-term stroke prevention. Despite overwhelmingly clear evidence from randomized trials that antihypertensive therapy substantially ...
Background: The mechanism of adverse limb events associated with peripheral artery disease remains incompletely understood. We investigated whether microvascular disease is associated with amputation ...
Rationale: Subcellular Ca2+ indicators have yet to be developed for the myofilament where disease mutation or small molecules may alter contractility through myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity. Here, we ...
