Open AccessTuberculous constrictive pericarditis with concurrent active pulmonary tuberculous infection: a case report
In some particular endemic area, it is not uncommon to see patients with tuberculosis pericarditis. However, it takes a period of time from tuberculous pericarditis to constrictive pericarditis. There is still...

Article
Left ventricular global longitudinal strain is independently associated with mortality in septic shock patients
Conventional echocardiography may not detect subtle cardiac dysfunction of septic patients. Two-dimensional left ventricular (LV) global peak systolic longitudinal strain (GLS) can detect early cardiac dysfunc...

Open AccessTumor endothelial marker 1 is upregulated in heart after cardiac injury and participates in cardiac remodeling
Tumor endothelial marker 1 (TEM1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that appears on mesenchymal lineage-derived cells during embryogenesis, but its expression greatly reduces after birth. Re-upregulation of TEM1...

Open AccessApplication of genetic risk score for in-stent restenosis of second- and third-generation drug-eluting stents in geriatric patients
The second-and third-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs) in-stent restenosis (ISR) genetic risk score (GRS) model has been previously validated. However, the model has not been validated in geriatric patient...

Open AccessGut butyrate-producers confer post-infarction cardiac protection
The gut microbiome and its metabolites are increasingly implicated in several cardiovascular diseases, but their role in human myocardial infarction (MI) injury responses have yet to be established. To address...
