Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990–2019: Update From the GBD 2019 Study

Gregory A. Roth, +68 more
TL;DR: CVD burden continues its decades-long rise for almost all countries outside high-income countries, and alarmingly, the age-standardized rate of CVD has begun to rise in some locations where it was previously declining in high- income countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines on the diagnosis and management of pericardial diseases executive summary; The Task force on the diagnosis and management of pericardial diseases of the European society of cardiology.

TL;DR: It is therefore of great importance that guidelines and recommendations are presented in formats that are easily interpreted and their implementation programmes must also be well conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Left ventricular assist device and drug therapy for the reversal of heart failure.

TL;DR: It is found that sustained reversal of severe heart failure secondary to nonischemic cardiomyopathy could be achieved in selected patients with the use of a left ventricular assist device and a specific pharmacologic regimen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sporadic primary pulmonary hypertension is associated with germline mutations of the gene encoding BMPR-II, a receptor member of the TGF-beta family.

TL;DR: The sporadic form of PPH is associated with germline mutations of the gene encoding the receptor protein BMPR-II in at least 26% of cases and a molecular classification of P PH, based upon the presence or absence of BMPR2 mutations, has important implications for patient management and screening of relatives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric redirection of flow through the heart

TL;DR: This work shows the asymmetric redirection of streaming blood in atrial and ventricular cavities of the adult human heart, with sinuous, chirally asymmetric paths of flow through the whole, and proposes that asymmetries and curvatures of the looped heart have potential fluidic and dynamic advantages.
