Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the effect of changing systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP, respectively) on sinus flow and valvular and epicardial coronary flow dynamics after TAVR and SAVR.
Methods: SAPIEN 3 and Magna valves were deployed in an idealized aortic root model as part of a pulse duplicating left heart flow loop simulator. Different combinations of SBP and DBP were applied to the test setup and the resulting change in total coronary flow from baseline (120/60 mmHg), effective orifice area (EOA), and left ventricular (LV) workload, with each combination, was assessed. In addition, particle image velocimetry was used to assess the Laplacian of pressure ( ) in the sinus, coronary and main flow velocities, the energy dissipation rate (EDR) in the sinus and the LV workload.
Results: This study shows that under an elevated SBP, there is an increase in the total coronary flow, EOA, LV workload, peak velocities downstream of the valve, , and EDR. With an elevated DBP, there was an increase in the total coronary flow and . However, EOA and LV workload decreased with an increase in DBP, and EDR increased with a decrease in DBP.
Conclusions: Blood pressure alters the hemodynamics in the sinus and downstream flow following aortic valve replacement, potentially influencing outcomes in some patients.

Among the different forms of hydrotherapy, carbon dioxide (CO) water immersion improves peripheral vasodilation and blood flow compared with tap water immersion; however, the heat stress placed on the body through CO water immersion and the appropriate immersion protocols are uncertain. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the thermoregulatory responses during CO and tap water immersions. The participants were 10 male college baseball players.

Aims: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a significant limitation of coronary stent implantation, but the exact mechanism of ISR remains unclear. Patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are in a hypercoagulable state; however, there is less information on its association with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with ISR after PCI. We aimed to clarify whether or not CAD patients with ISR after PCI are in a hypercoagulable state and whether or not PS exposure on extracellular vesicles (EVs), blood cells (BCs), and endothelial cells (ECs) is involved in the hypercoagulable state.

Background: Previous trials have demonstrated increased 5-year risks for adverse clinical events after coronary artery implantation of poly-l-lactic acid-based bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) compared with cobalt chromium (CoCr) everolimus-eluting stents (EES).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the 5-year clinical outcomes of the novel sirolimus-eluting NeoVas BRS compared with CoCr EES.
Methods: A total of 560 patients with single de novo native coronary artery lesions with reference vessel diameter 2.

Background: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) utilize "E-liquids" in order to generate "E-vapor", an inhalable aerosolized mixture containing nicotine and flavors. Flavored ENDS are very popular among teens who vape, however, the possible cardiac electrophysiological harm of inhalation exposure to flavored ENDS are not fully understood.
Objective: To test if inhalation exposure to flavoring carbonyls in e-liquids compromises mitochondrial integrity, increases oxidative stress, and leads to cardiac electrophysiological toxicity.

Introduction: Goals of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy includes low rates of right ventricular failure (RVF) and favorable survival outcomes. However, conventional metrics often fail to capture its physiologic complexity. We evaluated the prognostic utility of the Active Cardiac Index (ActCI) and Passive Cardiac Index (PasCI)-which reflect cardiac output driven by active RV contractility and passive venous return, respectively.
