Abstract

The pathogenic role of noncoding microRNA (miR, miRNA) has been demonstrated for several disease conditions in the heart. The underlying molecular mechanisms have been deciphered for numerous miRs that are deregulated as a result of cardiac stress. Innovative therapeutic strategies based on antifibrotic, antihypertrophic, or proangiogenic effects of miRNAs are being currently developed to improve the function of the failing heart. Identifying a safe and efficient miR-based strategy remains challenging, yet these novel approaches offer enormous potential for the treatments for heart failure. In this review we highlight the latest development in the cardiac miRNA field.

Beutel versus Maschine: Beste Beatmungstechnik bei Herzstillstand gesucht

02.05.2024 Kardiopulmonale Reanimation Nachrichten

Stehen die Chancen auf eine Rückkehr der Spontanzirkulation nach Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand bei manueller oder maschineller Beatmung besser? Und unterscheidet sich das neurologische Outcome nach der Reanimation? Das belgische Herzstillstand-Register liefert die Daten für einen direkten Vergleich zwischen Beutel und Beatmungsgerät.

Strenge Blutdruckeinstellung lohnt auch im Alter noch

30.04.2024 Arterielle Hypertonie Nachrichten

Ältere Frauen, die von chronischen Erkrankungen weitgehend verschont sind, haben offenbar die besten Chancen, ihren 90. Geburtstag zu erleben, wenn ihr systolischer Blutdruck < 130 mmHg liegt. Das scheint selbst für 80-Jährige noch zu gelten.
