The member must have: A CHADS2 score greater than or equal to 2 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age greater than 75, diabetes, stroke/transient ischemia attack/thromboembolism) or CHA2DS2-VASc score greater than or equal to 3 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age greater than o...
Evidence from other heart conditions suggested that CR should consist of both exercise training and psycho-educational interventions; such rehabilitation may benefit patients with an ICD. Prior systematic reviews of CR have excluded participants with an ICD. These researchers carried out a systematic revi...
miR-92a has been shown to be a critical player in the post-infarct myocardial remodeling. It has been reported to suppress post-infarctneoangiogenesis, a process that may indirectly influence the development of cardiac fibrosis following Ischemia/Reperfusion (I/R)[38]. The specific role of miR-...
However, SFRP2 could also promote angiogenesis and arteriogenesis through crosstalk between CMs and ECs, mediated by endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) stress signalling pathway, ATF6 and cTGF, thereby protecting the heart from myocardial ischemia [69]. These data indicate the multiple-face of SFRP2 ...

In CHF, the failing heart struggles to meet the body's metabolic needs, leading to compensatory mechanisms that, while initially beneficial, eventually worsen heart function. Theischemic myocardiumin angina is often a precursor toheart failure, especially when repetitive episodes of ischemia lead to ...

In this growing population of patients, multiple mechanism(s) of ischemia may co-exist, including functional disorders of the coronary microcirculation. There are few evidence-based effective therapies resulting in a large unmet clinical need. These investigators described the case of a 38-year-old ...
