Pulmonary hypertension (PH) describes heterogeneous population of patients with a mean pulmonary arterial pressure >20 mm Hg. Rarely, PH presents as a primary disorder but is more commonly part of a ...

BACKGROUND: Penetrance and risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) are increasingly recognized as being genotype specific. Therefore, ...

Background: Major noncardiac surgery carries high rates of postoperative myocardial injury and other complications. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) was reported to decrease these complications.

The recent EARLY TAVR trial (Evaluation of TAVR Compared to Surveillance for Patients With Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis) investigated the effect of early intervention with transcatheter aortic ...

This document describes performance measures for chronic coronary disease that are appropriate for public reporting or pay-for-performance programs. Quality measures are also provided that are not yet ...

Management of elevated low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) is central to preventing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and key to reducing the risk of ASCVD events. Current ...

Adults with hypertension have fewer cardiovascular events if controlled within the first 6 months of diagnosis, during which time they are excluded from many hypertension control metrics. We compared ...

Time-of-day significantly influences the severity and incidence of stroke. Evidence has emerged not only for circadian governance over stroke risk factors, but also for important determinants of ...

The science of cardiac rehabilitation and the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease has progressed substantially since the most recent American Heart Association and American Association of ...

A link between oxidative stress and hypertension has been firmly established in multiple animal models of hypertension but remains elusive in humans. While initial studies focused on inactivation of ...

Analysis included men and women with resistant hypertension, n=10 511 per group, matched for age (62±15 years) and chronic kidney disease status (30% with chronic kidney disease). Patients with a ...

Myocardial infarction (MI) elicits mitochondria reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cardiomyocyte (CM) apoptosis. Nrf3 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 3) has an established role in ...
