Overview of Injectable Hydrogels for the Treatment of Myocardial Infarction

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers adverse remodeling mechanisms, thus leading to heart failure. Since the application of biomaterial-based scaffolds emerged as a viable approach for providing mechanical support and promoting cell growth, injectable hydrogels have garnered substantial attention in MI treatment because of their minimally […]

Precision Monitoring of Antithrombotic Therapy in Cardiovascular Disease

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Thrombosis, the process of blood clot formation in blood vessels, is an important protective mechanism for avoiding excessive blood spillage when an individual is exposed to trauma. The body has both a thrombosis inhibition and a thrombus removal system, which interact in a balanced […]

Transcatheter “Sandwich” Valve-in-Valve Implantation Technique for Pure Aortic Regurgitation: Operation Skills and Single Center Experience

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  No commercial “on-label” transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) device for aortic regurgitation (AR) is available in most countries. TAVR for AR with an “off-label” self-expanding device has shown acceptable procedural success but it elevated rates of early mortality and other complications. Valve disposition […]

Prognostic Value of Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte Ratio for Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  This study was aimed at investigating the effects of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on the long-term prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This prospective study enrolled patients with ACS and OSA at Anzhen Hospital, Beijing, China between […]

Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Support in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction with Ventricular Septal Rupture

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the device most frequently used as a bridge to surgical repair in cases of myocardial infarction. However, robust evidence of IABP support for patients with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR) remains lacking. This study was aimed at assessing […]

Identification of Arrhythmia-Associated Gene Mutations in Chinese Patients with Primary Electrical Disorders or Sudden Cardiac Death

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Sudden cardiac death (SCD), unexpected death based on sudden cardiac ejection cessation, accounts for 15–20% of unnatural deaths in developed countries. Primary electrical disorders (PEDs), a group of cardiac rhythm abnormalities without detectable structural heart disease, are a major cause of SCD in people […]

Exosomal circRNA-0008302 from Adipose-derived Stem Cells Protects Against Myocardial Injury

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. This study was aimed at investigating the expression and therapeutic potential of circRNAs from adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) exosomes (ADSC-Exos) for cardiomyocyte injury. Differentially expressed circRNAs were screened between ADSCs and ADSC-Exos with a circRNA microarray. A differential circRNA-0008302 siRNA plasmid was constructed to […]

Reproducibility of a New Method to Assess Endothelial Function According to Peripheral Arterial Volume

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. The assessment of endothelial function is crucial for understanding cardiovascular disease progression. Reliable, convenient non-invasive methods are necessary for evaluating endothelial function. Peripheral arterial volume (PAV), measured at the fingertip, is a novel approach for which limited reproducibility data are available. Hence, this study […]

Four-Dimensional XStrain Echocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricular Strain and Rotational Mechanics

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Because of its excellent ability to non-invasively assess left ventricular (LV) systolic function, two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is increasingly being used in echocardiographic laboratories worldwide. Two-dimensional STE is the most sought-after method to evaluate LV strain, rotation, twist and torsion. Two dimensional, three-dimensional […]

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients ≥80 and <80 Years of Age with Aortic Valve Stenosis at Moderate Surgical Risk: Findings from an Observational Study in the Vietnamese Population

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. The increasing number of elderly patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has prompted concerns regarding their clinical outcomes compared with the younger population. This study evaluated the outcomes of TAVR on the basis of age group (<80 or […]
