and gender. A family history of cardiovascular disease increases one’s risk for the same. Certain ethnic groups have a higher predisposition to having heart disease when compared to others. South Asians have a higher risk of heart disease. The risk of heart diseases increases with age. For me...
Interactions between the gut microbiota, diet, and host metabolism contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, but a firm link between disease-specific gut microbiota alterations and circulating metabolites is lacking. We performed shot-gun
The cardiac lipid panel (CLP) is a novel panel of metabolomic biomarkers that has previously shown to improve the diagnostic and prognostic value for CHF patients. Several prognostic scores have been developed for cardiovascular disease risk, but their u

Endocardial cells, which line the lumen of the embryonic heart and the adult cardiovascular system, are the first to experience and respond to shear stress by mechanotransduction signaling pathways. When comparing flow (therefore, shear stress) to no flow (no shear), we have previously shown tha...
Heart failure (HF) is a major cardiovascular disease worldwide, and the early detection and diagnosis remain challenges. Recently, heart rhythm complexity analysis, derived from non-linear heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, has been proposed as a non-invasive method to detect diseases and predi...
