Advances in MicroRNA-Mediated Regulation of Cardiomyocyte Injury After Coronary Microembolization

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  Coronary microembolization (CME) occurs in patients with acute coronary syndrome and is caused primarily by atherosclerotic plaque rupture associated with surgery. CME can lead to arrhythmias, decreased coronary blood flow reserve, and cardiac systolic dysfunction. The clinical efficacy of conventional coronary artery dilation, antiplatelet agents, and direct thrombus aspiration after CME is not satisfactory.

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

“Sandwich” Valve-in-Valve Implantation TechniqueAnnouncing 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. (more…)

High normal blood pressure

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. High-normal blood pressure (i.e., 130–139/85–89 mmHg) has hazardous ratio for both coronary heart disease and stroke, because of day to day variations in blood pressure; consequently, prevention through lifestyle modification is essential.Although numerous studies have examined stretching and myofascial release to lower blood pressure, (more…)

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

Identification-of-Arrhythmia-Associated-Gene-MutationAnnouncing 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 younger than 35 years of age. (more…)
