Frailty in Older Adults with Heart Failure

Curr Heart Fail Rep. 2026 Oct 31;23(1):53. doi: 10.1007/s11897-026-00785-6.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Heart failure (HF) and frailty are increasingly prevalent with population aging, frequently coexist, and share pathophysiological mechanisms. This review summarizes recent evidence on shared biologi

Cre-loxP as an option in cardiovascular disease research

Gac Med Mex. 2025;162(2):173-178. doi: 10.24875/GMM.M26001123.ABSTRACTThe Cre-LoxP system is based on site-specific recombination mediated by the enzyme Cre recombinase. This system allows spatiotemporal control of gene expression in inducible models by utilizing specific promoters or enhancers that

Intranuclear localisation of KLF3-AS1 under the balance of histone acetylation and methylation in BMSCs ameliorates cerebral ischaemia‒reperfusion injury by preserving microglial mitochondrial function and inhibiting inflammatory polarisation

Clin Transl Med. 2026 Nov;16(11):e70870. doi: 10.1002/ctm2.70870.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Ischaemic stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is obstructed. Rapid restoration of blood supply frequently induces cerebral ischaemia‒reperfusion injury (CIRI). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-derived

Timing of Cardiac Contractility Modulation Therapy Implementation

Clin Cardiol. 2026 Nov;49(11):e70507. doi: 10.1002/clc.70507.ABSTRACTAIMS: Symptomatic chronic heart failure (HF) despite medical treatment can be addressed with cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) therapy, which has yet to have been investigated regarding outcome differences between early versus

Right Ventricular Dysfunction and Ventriculo-Arterial Uncoupling in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Phenotype-Specific Review of Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Therapeutic Strategies

Clin Cardiol. 2026 Nov;49(11):e70489. doi: 10.1002/clc.70489.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for nearly half of all global heart failure cases. Historically viewed as a left-centric diastolic disorder, emerging evidence identifies right ventricular
