The lymphatic vasculature, which accompanies the blood vasculature in most organs, is
indispensable in the maintenance of tissue fluid homeostasis, immune cell trafficking, and …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) using T2-weighted sequences can visualize
myocardial edema. When compared to previous protocols, newer pulse sequences with …

Background—The lymphatic system regulates interstitial tissue fluid balance, and lymphatic
malfunction causes edema. The heart has an extensive lymphatic network displaying a …

The heart, perhaps more than any other organ, is exquisitely sensitive to increases in
microvascular permeability and the accumulation of myocardial interstitial oedema fluid …

The prognosis for cardiac arrest victims remains dismal, as only 17% survives to hospital
discharge. Post-resuscitation myocardial stunning is the mechanical dysfunction that …

The use of biomarkers is undisputed in the diagnosis of primary myocardial infarction (MI),
but their value for identifying MI is less well studied in the postoperative phase following …

Impairment of cardiac lymphatic vessels leads to cardiac lymphedema. Recent studies have
suggested that stimulation of lymphangiogenesis may reduce cardiac lymphedema …

The heart is imbued with a vast lymphatic network that is responsible for fluid homeostasis
and immune cell trafficking. Disturbances in the forces that regulate microvascular fluid …

Fluid accumulation in the cardiac interstitium or myocardial edema is a common
manifestation of many clinical states. Specifically, cardiac surgery includes various …

The lymphatic vasculature is involved in the pathogenesis of acute cardiac injuries, but little
is known about its role in chronic cardiac dysfunction. Here, we demonstrate that …
