Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Balloon rupture during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rare but serious complication.
The authors of this article present two cases of balloon rupture in patients with severe aortic stenosis and type 0 bicuspid aortic valves.
Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Stress-induced cardiomyopathy, in contrast to acute myocardial infarction, is a type of acute heart failure characterized by reversible left ventricular dysfunction. Cardiac imaging primarily reveals left ventricle myocardial stunning, 81.7% of which is apical type. Emotional or psychological stress usually precedes the onset of stress-induced cardiomyopathy, which is increasingly being recognized as a unique neurogenic myocardial stunning disease. To distinguish between acute myocardial infarction and acute viral or auto-immune myocarditis, this article summarizes specific mechanisms of myocardial stunning in stress-induced cardiomyopathy, such as calcium disorders, metabolic alterations, anatomical and histological variations in different parts of the left ventricle, and microvascular dysfunction.

Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications (CVIA), in its role as the official journal of the Great Wall International Cardiology Conference (GW-ICC), has published selected abstracts from the 32nd session, held virtually, October 27 – 31, 2021, in its latest publication volume 6, supplement 1.
The abstracts are now available online at https://www.scienceopen.com/hosted-document?doi=10.15212/CVIA.2021.0030
Co-Editors-in-Chief of CVIA, C. Richard Conti, past president of the American College of Cardiology, and Jianzeng Dong, are delighted to be publishing the abstracts to support GW-ICC in its aims of leading the development of cardiovascular medicine in China, by introducing and promoting new concepts and technologies and strengthening and promoting cooperation amongst Chinese and international cardiology experts. Topics covered by the abstracts include basic and translational medicine, clinical research on cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular-disciplinary research and cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation.
