Renal dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is common and is
associated with increased mortality. Impaired renal function is also a risk factor for …

Anthracyclines are efficient chemotherapy agents. However, their use is limited by
anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (CT). We investigated the influence of polymorphisms in …

Abstract Purpose of Review The aim of the review was to identify and describe recent
advances (over the last 3 years) in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in patients …

Access to large-scale genomics datasets has increased the utility of hypothesis-free genome-
wide analyses. However, gene signals are often insufficiently powered to reach experiment …

Background The aim of the present study was to examine the association of angiopoietin-
like proteins-8 (ANGPTL8) rs2278426, cholesteryl ester-transfer protein (CETP) rs708272 …

Ectopic calcification is a risk of cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
patients, and impaired endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is involved in the CKD …

Background: Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) children have increased cardiovascular risk,
but the mediating factors are poorly understood. We hypothesized that birth size could affect …

Background α-Globin is expressed in endothelial cells of resistance arteries, where it limits
endothelial nitric oxide signaling and enhances α-adrenergic–mediated vasoconstriction. α …

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined by gradual deterioration of renal
parenchyma and decline of functioning nephrons. The risk of cardiovascular events is …

Access to large-scale genomics datasets has increased the utility of hypothesis-free genome-
wide analyses that result in candidate lists of genes. Often these analyses highlight several …
