Open AccessNeural mechanism facilitating PM2.5-related cardiac arrhythmias through cardiovascular autonomic and calcium dysregulation in a rat model
Particulate matter < 2.5 μm (PM2.5) exposure is associated with increased arrhythmia events and cardiovascular mortality, but the detailed mechanism remained elusive. In the current study, we aimed to investig...

Open AccessRenal denervation reverses ventricular structural and functional remodeling in failing rabbit hearts
Renal denervation (RDN) suppresses the activity of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and inflammatory cytokines, leading to the prevention of cardiac remodeling. Limited studies have reported the effect...

Open AccessRenal artery denervation prevents ventricular arrhythmias in long QT rabbit models
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is commonly presented with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Renal artery denervation (RDN) is an alternative antiadrenergic treatment that attenuates sympathetic activity....

Delayed association of acute particulate matter 2.5 air pollution exposure with loss of complexity in cardiac rhythm dynamics: insight from detrended fluctuation analysis
There is a delayed (lag 1 to 2 days) correlation between acute PM 2.5 (particulate matter < 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter) exposure and cardiovascular events, but the underlying mechanism remained unclear. We...
