Four aces of heart failure therapy: systematic review of established and emerging therapies for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
Abstract. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a common disease requiring multi-drug therapy. Moreover, it is associated with a poor prognosis, with increasing prevalence in the community. In the last decade, two major drug classes were introduced to the heart failure (HF)…

Serum N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide is dependent on age and sex: a cross-sectional analysis in healthy adults from Northeast China
Abstract. Background:. Previous studies suggested higher serum N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level with older age and in women, but the reference intervals (RIs) recommended by assay manufacturers do not fully recognize such pattern. Aims:. In this study, we aimed to…

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2-associated metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular diseases: current status, underlying mechanisms, and clinical recommendations
Abstract. Cardiovascular diseases originate from various pathogeneses, among which metabolic abnormalities are common. An integrated metabolic disturbance in common cardiovascular diseases has been suggested, particularly in the Asian population. This speculation is supported by the finding that…

Anatomical analysis and prognostic assessment of degenerative mitral regurgitation based on a large echocardiography database: Implications for transcatheter edge-to-edge and chordal repair
Background and Objectives: The anatomical characteristics of patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and mitral regurgitation (MR) have rarely been investigated demographically to determine the applicability of transcatheter intervention. Therefore, the study objective was to analyze potential…

Low tri-iodothyronine syndrome improves the risk prediction for mortality in patients with acute heart failure: A prospective observational cohort study
Background and Objective: Clinical studies have suggested that low tri-iodothyronine (T3) syndrome negatively affects the clinical outcomes of patients with acute heart failure (AHF). The aim of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the effect of low T3 syndrome in terms of prognosis and…

Re-visit the concept of M1 versus M2 phenotypes of BV2 microglia and test their effects on stroke outcome in mice
Backgrounds: Whether there are distinctive macrophage functional phenotypes of M1 versus M2 has been debated. We re-examined them by studying M1/M2 gene and protein expressions in cultured BV2 microglial cells and their effects on stroke outcomes in vivo. Methods: BV2 microglia cells were cultured…
