Among the complications of heart failure is the development of spontaneous echo contrast (SEC), characterized by a smoke-resembling appearance on echocardiograms, which indicates blood stasis in heart chambers. Despite being identified as an echocardiographic marker in the left atrium that correlates with thrombus formation and causes thromboembolic events, the clinical importance of left ventricular spontaneous echo contrast (LV-SEC) and the appropriate management for patients with this condition remain uncertain due to insufficient data. Anticoagulant therapy is generally recommended for patients with established left ventricular thrombus (LVT). However, for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and sinus rhythm (SR), as a result of a decrease in thromboembolic events over time, it is typically not recommended. The main challenge lies in assessing the thromboembolic risk and determining appropriate management in patients with HFrEF, sinus rhythm (SR), and left ventricular spontaneous echo contrast (LV-SEC), compared to those with left ventricular thrombus (LVT) and those with HFrEF and SR without LV-SEC.

Methods The arterial pressure wave signals from both hands of the patients scheduled for coronary angiography were recorded using photoplethysmography. According to the \"visceral resonance theory,\" taking integer multiples of the heartbeat from 0 to 11 as the resonance frequencies, the collected arterial pressure waves were decomposed into the 0th to 11th harmonics via the Fourier transform method. The harmonic characteristics were quantified by amplitude (Cn), phase (Pn), and energy (Dn) (n is the harmonic serial number), and the coefficient of variation of the indices was calculated and suffixed as CV. The difference between the measured values of the left- and right-hand parameters of the same patient was calculated (ΔCn,ΔPn,ΔDn,ΔCnCV,ΔPnCV), and the absolute value of the difference was obtained (|ΔCn|, |ΔPn|, |ΔDn|, |ΔCnCV|, |ΔPnCV|). Based on the coronary angiography imaging data, SYNTAX scores were computed for all participants, who were stratified by gender into male and female cohorts. For each group, logistic regression models were established with SYNTAX score≥22 as the dependent variable, and harmonic index differences as the independent variables. To determine the best prediction model, the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) was used and model with the lowest score was selected. Finally, the discriminant ability of the prediction model was evaluated using the ROC curve analysis and the Bootstrap internal validation method. Results: A total of 348 patients were included, with 249 males and 99 females. In the male group, the discriminant model was based on |ΔC10|,ΔD6, |ΔD9|, |ΔD10|, |ΔP8|, |ΔP10|, ΔP1CV, and ΔC9CV, with the minimum AIC value of 105.47, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.89, and the average AUC of 0.85 in the Bootstrap internal validation. In the female group, the discriminant model was based on |ΔD2|, |ΔD3|, |ΔD5|, |ΔD6|, |ΔD9|, |ΔC2CV|, |ΔC4CV|, |ΔC5CV|, | ΔC6CV|, and |ΔC9CV|, with the minimum AIC value of 59.34. The AUC of the ROC curve of this prediction model was 0.92, and the average AUC in the Bootstrap internal validation was 0.84. Discussion In this study, the degree of coronary artery occlusion was evaluated through a noninvasive method combined with the SYNTAX score, providing a valuable noninvasive tool for clinical evaluation of CAD. This detection method is easy to operate, has high repeatability, and the equipment is small in size, making it suitable for various environments, it can be operated independently by the patients.

This page summarises RES's wide effects on energy metabolism, resilience to stress, exercise mimicking, circadian rhythm, lifespan control, and microbiome composition. This article addresses the poor and contradictory results shown in preclinical and clinical trials provides an update on the cardiovascular preventive properties of RES. The activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1), and natural antioxidant enzymes is associated with some of the positive effects of RES on the cardiovascular system. A microarray data summary indicates a strong correlation between the heart's reaction to calorie restriction and the transcriptional responses to RES. RES has been demonstrated to reduce contractile dysfunction, cardiac remodelling, and hypertrophy in several animal models of heart failure. Its preventive properties are believed to be due to several molecular pathways, including the suppression of prohypertrophic signalling molecules, enhancement of cardiac Ca2+ handling, control of autophagy, and decreases in inflammation.

Resolvins are well-known for their capacity to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation. They are categorized into three series: Dseries (RvD1 to RvD6), T-series (RvT1 to RvT4), and E-series (RvE1 to RvE4). These molecules are produced through biochemical pathways involving enzymes such as lipoxygenase (LOX), cyclooxygenase (COX), and cytochrome P450 (CYP). These enzymes utilize precursor molecules like docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA).

Mitochondria are essential for cellular energy production, calcium homeostasis, redox balance, and apoptotic regulation, making their proper function vital for cardiac health. Dysfunctional mitochondria contribute to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, impaired ATP synthesis, and disruption of mitochondrial dynamics, leading to cardiomyocyte damage and cell death. Emerging research highlights mitochondrial dynamics, including fission, fusion, mitophagy, and biogenesis, as critical determinants of cardiac homeostasis. Perturbations in these processes exacerbate myocardial injury and heart failure progression. Additionally, chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, primarily from anthracyclines, is closely linked to mitochondrial damage, underscoring the need for targeted therapeutic strategies. Pharmacological interventions, such as antioxidants, mitochondrial-targeted drugs, and cardioprotective agents, have shown promise in mitigating mitochondrial dysfunction-related cardiac toxicity. Furthermore, lifestyle modifications, including exercise and dietary interventions, are being explored to enhance mitochondrial resilience in cardiac tissues. Advanced imaging techniques and biomarker-based diagnostics are improving the early detection of mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiac diseases. Emerging therapeutic strategies, such as mitochondrial transplantation, gene therapy, and precision medicine approaches, hold potential for targeted intervention. Despite these advances, challenges remain in translating mitochondrial-targeted therapies into clinical practice due to complexities in mitochondrial regulation and inter-organ communication.
