Article Abstract
Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases have been the leading cause of death worldwide. The American Heart Association defined eight metrics for cardiovascular health to reduce mortality. Mobile health tools can support shared clinical decisionmaking, provide tele-monitoring feedback, and improve patient adherence to medication regimens. This work aims to develop and implement the Cardiovascular Health application for mobile phones according to the parameters defined by the American Heart Association.
Methods: A user-centered design approach was employed using the Dart programming language, the Flutter framework, and a Firebase database.
Results: Each ideal parameter is evaluated as "good" when it meets the requirements, earning the patient one mark. Participants' cardiovascular health is subsequently classified as "good," "can be improved," or "needs to be improved," and PDF reports are generated.
Conclusions: The Cardiovascular Health application is built on a strong scientific foundation, given the high prevalence of individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease. It includes all components necessary to assess cardiovascular health and will enable physicians and other healthcare professionals to make more informed decisions regarding patient care.

Embryo transfer (ET) is a valuable reproductive technology in pigs, albeit its efficiency remains significantly lower than that of natural mating or artificial insemination (AI), owing to high embryonic death rates. Critical for embryo survival and pregnancy success is the placenta, which supports conceptus development through nutrient exchange, hormone production, and immune modulation. Alterations in placental development and function may therefore underlie the reduced efficiency of ET.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including punicalagin, ellagic acid, anthocyanins, and urolithins, which contribute to its broad pharmacological potential. This review summarizes evidence from in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as clinical studies, highlighting pomegranate's therapeutic effects in inflammation, metabolic disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, microbial infections, and skin conditions. Mechanistic insights show modulation of pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).

Background And Aims: Aim of this study was to assess the risk of hemolysis, the extent of myocardial and neural injury after monopolar, monophasic pulsed field ablation (PFA) using a lattice-tip catheter in comparison to single-shot PF ablation platforms employing bipolar, biphasic waveforms.
Methods: This prospective study included consecutive patients undergoing PFA for atrial fibrillation (AF) using the Affera™ mapping and ablation system (n=40). Biomarkers for hemolysis (haptoglobin, LDH, bilirubin), myocardial injury (high-sensitive troponin T, CK, CK-MB), neurocardiac injury (S100), and renal function (creatinine) were assessed pre- and within 24 hours post-ablation.
