While mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is proven to be lifesaving and disability sparing, there remains a disparity in its access in low- to middle-income countries. We hypothesized that team-based MT ...

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a ubiquitously expressed cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase strongly activated by integrins and neurohumoral factors. Previous studies have shown that cardiac FAK activity is ...

Background— Heart failure with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) is increasingly recognized and usually referred to as diastolic heart failure (DHF). Its pathogenetic mechanism r ...

The science of cardiology has evolved parallel to most medical sciences, first emphasizing anatomy, then physiology, and now molecular biology. In the 1960s, when it had become obvious that effective ...

Background— Intake of trans fatty acids is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease. Whether different classes of trans fatty acids show similar associations is unclear. We previously ...

We highly appreciate the consideration on differential diagnoses that Pieroni et al put forward regarding our recently published article 1 on the clinical, morphological, and ultrastructural features ...
