Article Abstract

This review examines the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on different heart failure phenotypes with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Traditional heart failure treatment modalities have shown limited success in improving outcomes for patients with HFpEF, but new evidence suggests that GLP-1RAs could be beneficial. The positive effects of GLP-1RAs are likely due to their ability to reduce systemic inflammation, enhance metabolism and directly affect the cardiovascular system, addressing critical aspects of HFpEF pathology. However, the exact impact of GLP-1RAs on clinical outcomes for different HFpEF phenotypes is still unclear. This review highlights both the potential benefits and the current limitations of GLP-1RA therapy, suggesting a careful approach for their application in clinical practice.

Heart failure (HF) and lung cancer (LC) often coexist, yet their shared molecular mechanisms are unclear. We analyzed transcriptome data from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE141910, GSE57338) to identify 346 HF‑related differentially expressed genes (DEGs), then combined weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) pinpointed 70 hub candidates. Further screening of these 70 hub candidates in TCGA lung cancer cohorts via LASSO, Random Forest, and multivariate Cox regression suggested CYP4B1 as the only independent prognostic marker.

Introduction: Kidney stone disease is associated with numerous cardiovascular risk factors. However, the findings across studies are non-uniformly consistent, and the control of confounding variables remains suboptimal. This study aimed to investigate the association between kidney stone and cardiovascular disease.

Right ventricular (RV) failure is the primary cause of death among patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Patients with congenital heart disease-associated PAH (CHD-PAH) demonstrate improved outcomes compared to patients with other forms of PAH, which is related to the maintenance of an adaptively hypertrophied RV. In an ovine model of CHD-PAH, we aimed to elucidate the cellular, microvascular, and transcriptional adaptations to congenital pressure overload that support RV function.

Cardiac hypertrophy is a common adaptation to cardiovascular stress and often a prelude to heart failure. We examined how S-palmitoylation of the small GTPase, Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1), impacts cardiomyocyte stress signaling. Mutation of the cysteine-178 palmitoylation site impaired activation of Rac1 when overexpressed in cardiomyocytes.
