Article Abstract

An aortocaval fistula caused by rupture of a right common iliac arterial aneurysm is a rare but potentially fatal condition that can progress to acute heart failure and even multi-organ failure due to abnormal shunting of blood through the fistula. We report a case of a patient with such a fistula who was rapidly diagnosed, and following emergent surgical consultation, underwent intra-aortic balloon occlusion prior to laparotomy. This intervention promptly stabilized the patient's circulation by addressing the high-output heart failure.

ObjectivesRecently, atrial fibrillation (AF) has contributed to an increase in cardiovascular deaths in the U.S. Palliative care (PC) and atrial ablation (AA) procedure can elevate quality of life of high-risk AF patients, who are associated with multiple comorbidities.

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.
