In Situ Decellularization of Tissues Applied to the Topographical Analysis of Tumor-Associated Extracellular Matrix
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a network woven out of more than 1300 different proteins, of which ≈300 are structural. Their presence,... -
Feasibility of Linear Irreversible Electroporation Ablation in the Coronary Sinus
IntroductionPrevious studies demonstrated that the coronary sinus (CS) is an important target for ablation in persistent atrial fibrillation....

Age-related increases in cardiac excitability, refractoriness and impulse conduction favor arrhythmogenesis in male rats
The effects of excitability, refractoriness, and impulse conduction have been independently related to enhanced arrhythmias in the aged myocardium in...

Precise Drug Sequential Therapy Can Improve the Cardioversion Rate of Atrial Fibrillation with Valvular Disease after Radiofrequency Ablation
Objective: Based on pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF), investigate the effects of precision drugs continuous therapy on AF cardioversion rate... -
Current Updates from the Long-Standing Phage Research Centers in Georgia, Poland, and Russia
The George Eliava Institute of Bacteriophages, Microbiology and Virology (IBMV) in Tbilisi, Georgia; the Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and... -
During Early VF in Rabbit Hearts, His Bundle Pacing is Less Effective Than Working Myocardial Pacing in Modulating Left Ventricular Activation Rates
PurposeThe potential of pacing and capturing the His–Purkinje system (HPS) to synchronize VF wavefronts is not known even though the HPS is thought...

A recurrent and transesophageal echocardiography–associated outbreak of extended-spectrum β-lactamase–producing Enterobacter cloacae complex in cardiac surgery patients
BackgroundWe report a recurrent outbreak of postoperative infections with extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing E. cloacae complex in...

Subchronic exposure to titanium dioxide nanoparticles modifies cardiac structure and performance in spontaneously hypertensive rats
BackgroundNon-communicable diseases, intended as the results of a combination of inherited, environmental and biological factors, kill 40 million...

One year of exercise training promotes distinct adaptations in right and left ventricle of female Sprague-Dawley rats
Aerobic exercise training induces a unique cardioprotective phenotype, but it is becoming clear that it does not promote the same structural,...

Echocardiographic assessment of long-term hemodynamic characteristics of mechanical mitral valve prostheses with different mitral valvular diseases
Mitral stenosis (MS) and mitral insufficiency (MI) have different pre-operative hemodynamic characteristics. However, it is unclear if there are...

IRF3 and type I interferons fuel a fatal response to myocardial infarction
Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and type I interferons (IFNs) protect against infections
1 and cancer2 , but excessive IRF3 activation and type I... -
Interleukin-6 and cardiac operations
Interleukin (IL)-6 is a pleiotropic inflammatory cytokine with both pro- and anti-inflammatory capacities, produced by different cells and tissues,...

Anterolateral minithoracotomy versus median sternotomy for mitral valve disease: a meta-analysis
Objective: Mitral valve disease tends to be treated with anterolateral minithoracotomy (ALMT) rather than median sternotomy (MS), as ALMT uses...
