Article Abstract
Background: Automatic dysfunction is present in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Heart rate recovery at 1 min (HRR1) after Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) serves an indicator of automatic function. Despite its potential significance, this primary method is still not well understood or widely utilized in predicting the progression of COPD. This study aimed to determine whether this indicator predicts acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD).
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 62 patients with COPD were recruited from 2013 to 2017. All participants underwent CPET test and followed up for 5 years thereafter. Univariate and multivariate linear regression, as well as Cox regression, were utilized to identify the abnormal HRR1 and the variables influencing AECOPD.
Results: HRR1 after CPET was a significant correlation of COPD progression. According to the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve, 14 beats/min for HRR1 was optimally used to measure the characteristics of COPD patients. HRR1≤14 beats/min significantly predicted the time to the first AECOPD (=0.00032, Log rank test). In the Cox proportional hazard models, HRR1≤14 beats/min was also consistently correlated with AECOPD occurrence (Hazards ratio=8.30, =0.001).
Conclusion: HRR1 after CPET was an independent predictor of AECOPD. Thus, this index can be applied to observe the conditions and treatment results of COPD patients.

Cardiac arrest (CA) is a critical condition in the field of cardiovascular medicine. Despite successful resuscitation, patients continue to have a high mortality rate, largely due to post CA syndrome (PCAS). However, the injury and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying PCAS remain unclear.

The collection and preservation of postmortem genetic material from recently deceased animals of rare and endangered species represent a critical yet underexplored avenue in conservation biology. While extensive research has been conducted on the human postmortem interval (PMI), there is a notable gap in understanding the postmortem preservation of germplasm in endangered species. This study aimed to investigate the dynamics of apoptosis in various tissues of the Yangtze sturgeon at different postmortem time points, and to provide a reference for identifying the optimal time window for germplasm preservation in rare and endangered fish in the wild.

Aims: The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a simple, non-invasive measure of insulin resistance. In this exploratory analysis of FINEARTS-HF, we evaluated whether lower eGDR, reflecting greater insulin resistance, is associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure (HF).
Methods And Results: The eGDR was calculated at baseline using waist circumference, glycated haemoglobin, and hypertension status.
Mortality Outcomes of Combined Heart and Liver Transplantation and Isolated Heart Transplantation Following Fontan Procedures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Fontan-associated liver disease can progress to advanced fibrosis, raising the potential need for combined heart-liver transplantation (CHLT) in selected patients. However, the benefits of CHLT over isolated orthotopic heart transplantation (HT), particularly in terms of mortality, remain uncertain. In this systematic review, we compared mortality outcomes following CHLT versus HT in patients with Fontan circulation, with the aim of supporting clinical decision-making.

Objectives: To clarify the role of hippocampal glutamate system in regulating HPA axis in mediating the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at the heart meridian for improving myocardial injury in rats with acute myocardial ischemia (AMI).
Methods: Male SD rats were randomized into sham-operated group, AMI group, EA group, and L-glutamic acid+EA group (=9). Rat models of AMI were established by left descending coronary artery ligation, and EA was applied at the "Shenmen-Tongli" segment; the rats in L-glutamic acid+EA group were subjected to microinjection of L-glutamic acid into the bilateral hippocampus prior to AMI modeling and EA treatment.
