Acute kidney injury is a clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid decline in renal function, driven by pathological mechanisms such as renal tubular epithelial cell injury, inflammatory responses, and microcirculatory dysfunction. In recent years, the role of angiogenesis in AKI recovery and regeneration has gained increasing attention. Angiogenesis plays a dual role in tissue repair and pathological remodeling, exhibiting complex spatiotemporal dynamics during AKI progression.

Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) contributes to angina without obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA). Although aging is known to impact cardiovascular health, its effect on coronary microvascular function remains unclear. This study examined the relationship between age and microvascular function in patients with ANOCA.

The pulmonary capillary network (PCN) is a highly complex and dynamic structure essential for gas exchange and systemic homeostasis. Beyond its primary role in oxygen transport, the PCN also mediates a range of transport processes relevant to both health and disease. Scientific interest in the PCN has evolved considerably over time, from early efforts characterizing its anatomy and architecture to modern investigations of its in situ microcirculatory dynamics using advanced imaging technologies.

Ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) is a chronic coronary condition associated with poor prognosis and reduced quality of life. The increasing use of invasive assessments of microcirculatory function and provocative spasm testing has significantly advanced the understanding of INOCA's pathophysiology, which ranges from coronary microvascular dysfunction to vasomotor disorders. However, the optimal management and therapeutic approach for INOCA remain to be determined.

Background: Refractory no-reflow correlates with worse outcomes, including larger infarct sizes, impaired ventricular function, and higher mortality rates, despite advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Microvascular obstruction (MVO) and increased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) are implicated in the pathogenesis, potentially exacerbating ischemic injury and limiting myocardial recovery. While pressure-wire-derived indices such as the Index of Microcirculatory Resistance (IMR) have been validated against MRI-defined MVO in STEMI populations, their invasive nature and procedural complexity limit broad adoption.
