TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the link between heart failure and malignancy and found that low-grade inflammation plays a primary role in the development of malignancies in patients with preexisting heart failure.

TL;DR: Vitamin D levels are inversely associated with increased arterial stiffness in a normative aging population, irrespective of traditional risk factor burden.

TL;DR: The characteristics and assess the 1‐year outcomes of hospitalized (HHF) and chronic (CHF) heart failure patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) enrolled in a large European registry between May 2011 and April 2013 are described.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Cord Blood Endothelial Progenitor Cells exposed to low, sub-apoptotic doses of doxorubicin show a senescence phenotype characterized by increased SA-b-gal activity, decreased TRF2 and chromosomal abnormalities, enlarged cell shape, and disarrangement of F-actin stress fibers accompanied by impaired migratory ability.

TL;DR: The sensitivity of bone scintigraphy (DPD and HMDP) in detecting TTR-CA is extremely low in patients with Phe64Leu TTR mutation, suggesting the need to identify cardiac involvement across a wider spectrum of TTR mutations.
