Aug 10th, 2020 - Pediatric patients show an impressive capacity of cardiac regeneration. In contrast, severely deteriorated adult hearts do usually not recover. Since cardiac remodeling-involving the expression of fetal genes-is regarded as an adaptation to stress...

Aug 10th, 2020 - Identifying the cause of palpitations and syncope in the healthy, active duty military population is important. Most often, the causes are benign, but more malignant etiologies should not be overlooked. In this case, we present a 22-year-old activ...

Aug 10th, 2020 - Heart failure (HF) with reduced contractile function is a common and lethal syndrome in which the heart cannot pump blood to adequately meet bodily demands, resulting in high mortality despite the current standard of care. In modern societies, the...

Aug 10th, 2020 - The last few years have confirmed previous assumptions of an enormous impact of the titin gene (TTN) on the occurrence of muscle disease, cardiomyopathy, or both together. The reason for this rather late understanding of its importance is because ...
