Backgrounds: The management of non-culprit vessels (NCV) among individuals with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains an unsolved problem. Angiography-derived physiological assessments developed recently may help address this issue. Our study aims to measure angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (Angio-FFR) and angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (Angio-IMR) in NCVs of AMI patients and explore their prognostic values and necessity.

Glial cells are essential regulators of brain homeostasis by orchestrating neuronal function, metabolism and immune responses. However, much less is known about peripheral glial cells, particularly those in the heart. This review explores the development, types and functions of cardiac glial cells, including Schwann cells, satellite glial cells and recently identified cardiac nexus glia, with some reference to their central nervous system counterparts.

Background: Identification of significant coronary artery stenosis (CAS) in patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) is crucial for clinical management. Myocardial work (MW) is a new noninvasive method reflecting myocardial metabolism and has been applied in myocardial ischemia. We aimed to explore the value of global MW during vasodilator stress echocardiography in detecting significant CAS.

Background And Aims: The pathophysiologic concept of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved towards defining atrial cardiomyopathy, recognizing inflammation-mediated remodeling of the left atrium (LA) as a source for arrhythmogenesis. One feature of atrial cardiomyopathy is the development of fibrosis, with low-voltage zones (LVZ) identified by invasive electroanatomic mapping as an accepted surrogate parameter. A mediator of pathological remodeling is epicardial adipose tissue (EAT).

Obesity is strongly associated with an increased risk of heart failure. Recent studies indicate that epicardial adipose tissue plays a critical role in the development of obesity-related cardiomyopathy. This distinct visceral fat depot, located between the myocardium and the visceral pericardium, is involved in direct cross-talk with the adjacent myocardium, influencing both its structural integrity and electrophysiological function.
