Research Progress in Heart Rate Variability Applications in Exercise Rehabilitation for Cardiovascular Diseases

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Heart rate variability (HRV) is an important marker for assessing the balance of the autonomic nervous system and clinical prognosis, because it can be non-invasively and easily measured, and the results are accurate and valuable. HRV is widely applied in cardiovascular disease fields. Exercise training is an important part of cardiac rehabilitation. Personalized sports rehabilitation therapy can effectively prevent the emergence of cardiovascular diseases, decrease the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events, and ameliorate dysfunction, as well as limitations in life, work, and social participation, caused by adverse cardiovascular events. However, sports rehabilitation can have drawbacks, in that improper training can cause injury, excessive fatigue, or even harmful cardiovascular events. To support future applications, this article reviews recent applications of HRV in sports rehabilitation for cardiovascular diseases.

Post-Translational Modification of Drp1 is a Promising Target for Treating Cardiovascular Diseases

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.    Mitochondria are essential for cell growth, fission, differentiation, and survival, particularly in undivided cells with high energy requirements, such as cardiomyocytes. The morphology and position of mitochondria change with the activity of mitochondrial fission proteins and mitochondrial fusion proteins. These regulatory mechanisms substantially affect cardiomyocyte energy supply and normal function. In mitochondrial fission, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is involved in the separation and degradation of damaged mitochondria, and accurately regulates mitochondrial renewal and number. Recent studies have revealed a variety of post-translational modification (PTMs) of Drp1, including phosphorylation, SUMOylation, acetylation, O-GlcNAcylation, and S-sulfhydration. These modifications ensure that Drp1 continues to function normally in various signaling pathways, by modulating its activity, stability, and subcellular localization.

This article provides an overview of the relationship between Drp1 PTMs and cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion, and describes how these modifications can be targeted and regulated, to help guide cardiovascular disease treatment.

Epidemiological Study of Heart Failure in China

Epidemiological Study of Heart Failure in China

Authors: Guo, Yang; Zhao, Dong; Liu, Jing

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that results from any structural or functional impairment of ventricular filling or ejection of blood. HF is one of the most important and severe end stages of many cardiovascular diseases. Epidemiological studies of HF have focused mainly on the prevalence, incidence, mortality, fatality, and distribution and temporal trends of these indicators among different populations. This review highlights important epidemiological studies of HF in China.
