However, aortic regurgitation (AR) remains an “off-label” indication for TAVR, particularly for patients with mild or absent leaflet calcification or aortic annulus dimensions beyond the size of the bioprosthesis, which increase the risk of dislocation. With advances in transcatheter heart valve devices, the safety and efficacy of TAVR in treating patients with severe pure native AR has gained acceptance.

Despite substantial advances in medical care, the prevalence of hypertension has markedly increased, owing to population aging; poor treatment adherence; and increases in risk factors, such as excessive salt intake, and overweight and obesity. Consequently, the disability-adjusted life years have increased by 40%, primarily because of elevated risk of stroke, coronary atherosclerosis, heart failure, and kidney failure. Major outstanding problems associated with the treatment and management of hypertension include determining optimal blood pressure targets, developing innovative antihypertensive medications and devices, and implementing effective and feasible hypertension management strategies. To address these challenges, numerous clinical trials are currently underway. This article highlights the most influential ten clinical studies on hypertension in 2022. The rational use of antihypertensive medications is concluded to be important for effective hypertension management. Important considerations include medication types and dosing times; optimal blood pressure targets; the development of new drugs and therapeutic devices; specific community characteristics, such as village doctor-led care; and healthful diets.","PeriodicalId":41559,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67306965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fortunately, advances in cardiac imaging allow for a multifaceted cardiac evaluation in a single study, reducing cost, lead time to diagnosis, and procedural adverse events while still providing supreme accuracy. As the stream of science and clinical practice worldwide emphasizes personalized and high-value care, noninvasive imaging has emerged as a new standard to prevent, diagnose, and guide the treatment of cardiac disease, reserving invasive procedures to cases where an intervention is required.

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.","PeriodicalId":41559,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67306561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A total of 4910 Chinese participants who were 50–79 years of age and free of cardiovascular disease in the 2007–2008 Survey from the Chinese Multi-provincial Cohort Study were included. We assessed the updated model’s clinical utility (i.e., Harrell’s C-index and net reclassification improvement [NRI]) by adding risk-enhancing factors individually or the number of risk-enhancing factors to the CSC model, for all individuals or those at intermediate risk. Risk-enhancing factors, including a family history of CVD, triglycerides ≥2.3 mmol/L, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ≥2 mg/L, Lipoprotein (a) ≥50 mg/dL, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥4.9 mmol/L, overweight/obesity, and central obesity, were evaluated. ASCVD events were defined as a composite endpoint comprising ischemic stroke and acute coronary heart disease events (including nonfatal acute myocardial infarction and all coronary deaths). Results: During a median 10-year follow-up, 449 (9.1%) ASCVD events were recorded. Addition of ≥2 risk-enhancing factors to the CSC model yielded a significant improvement in the C-index (1.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.2–1.7%) and a modest improvement in the NRI (2.0%, 95% CI: −1.2–5.4%) in the total population. For intermediate-risk individuals, particularly individuals at high risk of developing ASCVD, significant improvements in NRI were observed after adding ≥2 risk-enhancing factors (17.4%, 95% CI: 5.6–28.5%) to the CSC model.

However, making timely medical contact whenever symptoms occur may not be practical. Herein, a deep learning (DL)-based handheld device was deployed to facilitate symptom-driven monitoring. Methods: A cohort of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) was trained to use a DL-based handheld device to record ECG signals whenever symptoms presented after the ablation. Additionally, 24-hour Holter monitoring and 12-lead ECG were scheduled at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-ablation. The detection of AFR by the different modalities was explored. Results: A total of 22 of 67 patients experienced AFR. The handheld device and 24-hour Holter monitor detected 19 and 8 AFR events, respectively, five of which were identified by both modalities. A larger portion of ECG tracings was recorded for patients with than without AFR [362(330) vs. 132(133), P=0.01)], and substantial numbers of AFR events were recorded from 18:00 to 24:00. Compared to Holter, more AFR events were detected by the handheld device in earlier stages (HR=1.6, 95% CI 1.2–2.2, P<0.01).

Berberine (BBR), a bioactive compound from Rhizoma coptidis , has potential therapeutic implications, but its precise role in diabetic cardiomyopathy remains to be defined. Methods: In this study, a diabetic cardiomyopathy model was established by administration of a high-fat diet and streptozotocin injection to C57BL/6J mice. Concurrently, the mice received BBR treatment daily for a duration of 8 weeks. After the treatment period, myocardial injury, cardiac function, and the levels of oxidative stress and apoptosis were assessed. Results: BBR significantly ameliorated cardiac dysfunction and histopathological damage caused by diabetic cardiomyopathy. This treatment also elevated serum superoxide dismutase levels while decreasing malondialdehyde levels. The anti-apoptotic activity of BBR was evidenced by a decrease in TUNEL-positive cells and the percentage of apoptotic cells, as determined by flow cytometry, in conjunction with diminished levels of BCL2-associated X protein/B cell lymphoma 2 (BAX/BCL2) in heart tissues. Mechanistically, BBR was found to ameliorate diabetic cardiomyopathy by upregulating the expression of myocardial methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) and concurrently suppressing cardiac CaMKII oxidation. Conclusions: BBR alleviates diabetic cardiomyopathy by inhibiting myocardial apoptosis and oxidative stress through the MsrA and CaMKII signaling pathways.","PeriodicalId":41559,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135444950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
