Should I participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program?
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR), or “cardiac rehab,” is a multifaceted, medically supervised program proven to improve heart health and outcomes in people with certain types of cardiovascular disease. CR revolves around three major components: an individualized exercise and training program, education on topics related to heart health, and stress reduction.
CR is currently recommended for the following diagnoses: angina (chest pain); heart attack with or without angioplasty or bypass surgery; heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF); and heart surgery including heart valve procedures or heart or heart/lung tran...

Ischemic cardiomyopathy: Why is it, still searching for a definition?
The term Ischemic cardiomyopathy(ICM) was originally coined by Dr. Burch from Tulane University, New Orleans, USA in 1970. For many decades there was skepticism regarding the existence of such entity. WHO classification over the years never included this term. ESC working group of 2008 (Elliott P, European Heart 29(2):270–276) decided not to include CAD as a cause for cardiomyopathy. Even the current MOGES system doesn’t invoke CAD as a cause for cardiomyopathy. But, I am sure, most of practicing cardiologists would agree, there is a need for such an entity.
Why there is much reluctance to diagnose Ische...

We examined 9293 individuals from the Copenhagen General Population Study using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurements of total cholesterol, free- and esterified cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, and particle concentration. Fourteen subclasses of decreasing size and their lipid constituents were analysed: six subclasses were very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), one intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), three low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and four subclasses were high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Remnant lipoproteins were VLDL and IDL combined.
Mean nonfasting cholesterol concentration was 72...

Virtual Bodies For Real Drugs: In Silico Clinical Trials Are The Future
Traditional clinical trials are equivalent of billions of dollars and years of hard work with no guarantee for the new drug to be approved by regulatory bodies, not to speak about the dangers of testing medication on animals and/or humans. What if we could take a radical turn? What if we conducted clinical trials on virtual bodies that could perfectly mimic human physiology? With the help of artificial intelligence, enhanced computer simulations, and advances in personalized medicine, in silico trials might be a reality in the coming years.
The magic expression is in
silico
As technologies transform every aspect of h...

Artificial Bacterial Protein Allows Stem Cells to Home to the Heart
Researchers at the University of Bristol have developed a way to make stem cells move toward heart tissue when they are injected intravenously. The treatment could improve the efficacy of stem cell therapies for heart disease, which are currently ham...

In this study, we determine whether transient reintroduction of embryonic stem cell cycle miR-294 promotes cardiomyocyte cell cycle reentry enhancing cardiac repair after myocardial injury. A doxycycline-inducible AAV9-miR-294 vector was delivered to mice for activating miR-294 in myocytes for 14 days continuously after myocardial infarction. miR-294-treated mice significantly improved left ventricular functions together with decreased infarct size and apoptosis 8 weeks after MI. Myocyte cell cycle reentry increased in miR-294 hearts parallel to increased small myocyte number in the heart. Isolated adult myocytes from miR-...

Was the past perfect ? I don ’ t know, but the future looks tense … welcome on-board, to automated ACS management.
Charles river esplanade ,Boston* : A healthy middle-aged man who was jogging quietly, while his heart was under intense scrutiny by the bionic eyes of Apple i-watch’s smart patch electrode. Suddenly, it detected some bizarre ST segment fragmentation (Seems it can predict in advance , Ischemic signals 10 minutes prior to onset of ACS ) The built-in cosmos direct GPS instantly alerted & summoned a titanium powered Space X drone that pulled the patient from the riverside to the nearest human wellness port .
It dropped him through a remotely accessed split glass roof right inside the hybrid heart lab, to find , men ...

Master health musings : Where did Alexander the Great, checked his LDL and Chenghis khan recorded his BP ?
A middle-aged man a Biotech engineer, who is just back from his annual health check, sitting in front of me with a deeply anguished face and said “Doctor my LDL is 130mg, and my diastolic BP is 90 mmHg and fasting sugar is 120 mg .I am very much worried about my future”
Wait , let me go through your file, I said ,
Isn’t a serious Issue doctor?
No, its not ,
But , doctor, I have read about ASCOT, SPRINT and HOPE-3 trials. I guess they tell us to keep the LDL, blood sugar and diastolic BP all these three parameters around 80. Isn’t doctor? He went on to add, that his old fashioned family physician ha...

What Has A.I. In Medicine Ever Done For Us? At Least 45 Things!
Remember Monty Python’s
brilliant Life of Brian movie scene where the Palestinian insurgent commando,
planning the abduction of Pilate’s wife in return for all the horrors they had
to endure from the Roman Empire, asks the rhetorical question: what have the
Romans ever done for us? With the hype and overmarketing, not to speak about
the fears around A.I, we asked the same question. What has A.I. in medicine
ever done for us? Well, we found at least 45 things.
I have 45 responses to
the pressing question on everyone’s mind who is interested in healthcare but
tired of the hype or the doomsday
scenarios around A.I.: ...

Playback Heart Sounds: The eKuore Pro Digital Stethoscope Review
The white coat, the stethoscope, and the physician are inseparable as of yet. While artificial intelligence promises to become the next symbol of medicine, the eKuore Pro “only” aims to bring a much needed revamp of this ever-useful, iconic medical instrument. We found this wireless digital stethoscope to be fairly easy to use and feature-rich despite being remarkably heavier and pricier than conventional stethoscopes. If you want to know a pinch more detail about how the eKuore Pro performed, read our digital stethoscope review below.

It ’s time we approach heart failure like cancer
“I’m sorry, Mr. Smith. Your heart is very sick, and your body has irreversible damage. It’s too dangerous to attempt a transplant or implant a heart pump. There’s nothing more we can do.” I’ve encountered this scenario more often than I care to admit as a cardiac surgeon that treats adva nced heart failure.

This study shows that mRNA levels of the aging related lamin A splice variant progerin, associated with premature aging in HGPS, were significantly upregulated in subjects with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. Moreover, our data revealed a significantly positive correlation of BMI with progerin mRNA. These data provide to our knowledge for the first-time evidence for a possible involvement of progerin in previously observed accelerated aging of overweight and obese individuals potentially limiting their longevity. Our results also showed that progerin mRNA was positively correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP). This might suggest an ass...

TAVR: Aortic valve replacement without open-heart surgery
There has been a flurry of news recently about a procedure called trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for the treatment of the common heart condition aortic stenosis (AS). You may even know people who have had this procedure performed.
What exactly is TAVR? And what’s all the excitement about?
What is aortic stenosis?
First, it’s important to understand the condition that TAVR is designed to treat, aortic stenosis. The aortic valve is the last structure of the heart through which blood passes before entering the aorta and circulating throughout the body. The aortic valve has three flaps, called leaflets, tha...

3D Printed Heart from one ’ s own cells
3D Printed Heart from one’s own cells
Noor N and colleagues from Tel Aviv University have successfully produced thick vascularised patches and cellularized human hearts with a natural architecture as proof of concept by 3D printing of reprogrammed omental tissue [1].
Cells collected by omental biopsy were reprogrammed to become pluripotent stem cells. They were then differentiated into heart muscle cells and endothelial cells. Extracellular matrix was processed into a personalized hydrogel. The cells were combined with hydrogels to form bioinks for parenchymal cardiac tissue and blood vessels. 3D printing of functio...
