Copper is an essential trace element in the human body, extensively involved in key physiological and biochemical processes such as antioxidant defense, energy metabolism, neural signaling, and immune regulation. In rece...

Background. Patient hemodynamic stability during general anesthesia is a crucial factor, managing which helps avoid many complications, especially cardiovascular ones. Intravenous and inhaled anesthetics affect the human...

We read with great interest the recent article by Park H et al (1), entitled “Association between job insecurity and cardiovascular disease among workers with type 2 diabetes mellitus”. The study provides important e...

Abstract Importance The mortality benefit of lipid-lowering therapies (LLTs) in true primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains uncertain, in part because prior studies frequently included individuals wit...

Abstract Background Epidemiological data consistently associate low vitamin D status with elevated cardiovascular risk, yet causal mechanisms remain contested. Methods This review synthesized evidence through a protocol-...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a significant global public health challenge, with its high incidence and mortality rates imposing a substantial socioeconomic burden. Tribbles family proteins (TRIB1, TRIB2, and T...

Abstract Slow and deep breathing is recommended as an effective treatment for hypertension using the RESPeRATE device. However, the acute cardiovascular responses to slow and deep breathing, including the potential mecha...

Abstract Current treatment for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) mainly focuses on the modification of systemic risk factors, such as hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. Despite significant efforts and expans...

Abstract BackgroundMany persons with type 2 diabetes (T2D) lack risk awareness or underestimate their cardiovascular risk. Although health care professionals in primary health care strive to implement risk-aw...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with increasing recognition of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a major contributor to mortality. National data on cardiovascu...

Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a common disease resulting in high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. An important cause of HF is mitral valve regurgitation (MR), which induces left ventricular remodeling and vol...

Abstract Background HIV/AIDS is a significant public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), accounting for 70% of the global disease burden. HIV mortality in SSA has declined due to expanded access to anti-retrovira...

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR), a multi-modal program centered around supervised exercise, is considered the standard of care for secondary cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. The primary goals of CR are managing CVD r...

Aim. The aim of this study was to review the current scientific literature on the adverse effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) use in physically active men and to highlight the need for further research in this ...

The gut microbiota has co-evolved with its host and forms an essential component of the human body. It is acquired at birth and continues to develop alongside the host, preserving its diversity and stability throughout l...

Abstract Background Sleep apnea is highly prevalent yet frequently underdiagnosed due to the cost and complexity of polysomnography. Heart rate variability (HRV) offers a scalable alternative for early screening, but con...

Abstract Osteoporotic fractures (OPF) and hypertension frequently co-occur in older adults, yet comprehensive datasets integrating clinical, pharmacological, and longitudinal outcome data remain scarce. We describe a lon...

Ageing is a complex biological process marked by gradual functional decline, reduced cellular resilience, and increased vulnerability to chronic diseases. Maintaining cell health has become a crucial strategy for extendi...

Endothelial glycocalyx dysregulation remains the leading cause of the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases, which can increase the risk of organ failure and even cause death. However, the construction o...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims The KCNK17 gene encodes k2p17.1 channels (TASK‐4 or TALK‐2) with dominant expressions in the atria and the Purkinje fibers. Emerging studies have suggested possible associations between K...
