Older patients with aortic stenosis cannot always be offered conventional surgical aortic
valve replacement at an acceptable risk. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is …

Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle most commonly caused by viral
infection and often maintained by autoimmunity. Virus-induced tissue damage triggers …

Wnt (a portmanteau of Wingless and Int-1) signaling in the adult heart is largely quiescent.
However, there is accumulating evidence that it gets reactivated during the healing process …

Independent of the severity, phenotypes and clinical outcomes of myocardial infarction may
vary considerably in patients, suggesting a strong genetic influence on healing and adaptive …

Aims: Recent studies have found circulating concentrations of the gastrointestinal hormone
GLP-1 to be an excellent predictor of cardiovascular risk in patients with myocardial infarction…

Morphogens including Wnt, Hedgehog and BMP proteins are essential during embryonic
development and early induction of organ progenitors. Besides free diffusion to form signalling …

Aims We sought to evaluate the impact of ischemic burden for the prediction of hard cardiac
events (cardiac death or nonfatal myocardial infarction) in patients with known or suspected …

We present a case of a 38-year–old Turkish patient with a previously diagnosed cardiac
hydatidosis, which is a parasitic infection most commonly induced by Echinococcus granulosus …

Background— Antiarrhythmic management of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a major clinical
challenge. Mechanism-based approaches to AF therapy are sought to increase effectiveness …

The inflammatory response after myocardial infarction (MI) is a precisely regulated process
that greatly affects subsequent remodeling. Here, we show that basophil granulocytes …
