Vascular smooth muscle cells can perform both contractile and synthetic functions, which are
associated with and characterised by changes in morphology, proliferation and migration …

Background— Mutations in the plakophilin-2 gene (PKP2) have been found in patients with
arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Hence, genetic …

Objective: Decision-making in chest pain patients is hampered by poor diagnostic power of
patient's history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors, and troponin. Each of these findings …

Cardiac cell therapy suffers from limitations related to poor engraftment and significant cell
death after transplantation. In this regard, ex vivo tissue engineering is a tool that has been …

Background Circular electroporation ablation is a novel ablation modality for electrical pulmonary
vein isolation. With a single 200-J application, deep circular myocardial lesions can be …

Background— Radiofrequency ablation inside pulmonary vein (PV) ostia can cause PV
stenosis. A novel alternative method of ablation is irreversible electroporation, but the long-term …

Background The arterial switch operation (ASO) is the preferred procedure for children with
dextrotransposition of the great arteries or Taussig-Bing anomaly. Short- as well as long-term …

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that red cell distribution width (RDW) is related to
outcome in chronic heart failure (CHF). The pathophysiological process is unknown. We studied …

Genetic factors appear to be important in the restenotic process after percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI), as well as in inflammation, a pivotal factor in restenosis. TNFα, a key …
