Abstract
We investigated the effects of Tan IIA on cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in two-kidney, two-clip (2K2C) hypertensive rats and by which, if any, mechanisms. Administration of 2K2C hypertensive rats with Tan IIA attenuated cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis. However Tan IIA treatment had no effects on...

Abstract
We review the possible mechanisms of PSC-derived cardiomyocytes rejection, summarize the current knowledge pertaining to immunogenicity of such cells and describe the existing controversies. Myocardial graft rejection can be reduced by modifying PSCs prior to their differentiation into cardiomyocyte...

Abstract
The advanced practice nurse (APN) is critical to continuity of patient care, particularly in an innovative and research-intensive environment. The intensity of the environment, steep learning curve, and lack of a structured orientation can lead to difficulties in role assimilation and feelings of di...

We present several novel metrics proposed to serve this purpose. We use reclassification tables constructed on the basis of clinically meaningful disease risk categories to discuss the concepts of calibration, risk separation, risk discrimination, and risk classification accuracy. We discuss the not...

Abstract
The treatment goal of patients with arterial hypertension is to reduce the blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg with the aim to lower the risk of subsequent cardiovascular diseases and to prolong patient's longevity. There are five main classes for blood pressure treatment: ACE-inhibitors, angiotensin I...

Primary care clinicians need to move beyond first-line therapy for major depression. While initial treatment is ineffective in about two-thirds of patients, patients who have not responded to such initial treatments can be managed effectively. The severity of depression is as high in primary care as...

Heart failure is the common and final pathway of all the cardiovascular diseases. Its pathophysiology has progressed during the last 20 years; although the inotropy was the main target in the 80', new paradigms have emerged such as remodelling, neurohormonal activation, and more recently desynchroni...
