Best Abstract Award – Second prize Topic: Heart Failure (Basic), Molecular Cardiology Introduction A major morphogenic change in heart failure is the hypertrophy of individual cardiomyocytes. Suppressing cardiomyocytes hypertrophy enables the prevention and treatment of heart failure. Although many experimental studies and clinical intervention trials have shown the cardioprotective effect of… View more

Uric acid (UA) represents the final product of purine metabolism, in humans mainly regulated by the xanthine-oxidoreductase enzyme, which converts hyoxantine to xanthine and xanthine to UA. Dietary factors may influence serum UA (SUA), increasing its levels (meat, seafood, fructose, alcohol and sodium) or decreasing them (coffee and ascorbic acid). In addition, high cellular turnover conditions,… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia1 and increases the risk of stroke and thromboembolism, on average, fivefold.2 Strokes in AF are generally more severe and associated with greater mortality and disability than strokes from other causes.3 Prevention of stroke and thromboembolism is therefore an important part of AF management. Guidelines have, until now,… View more

The heart requires a high rate of oxygen uptake to maintain mechanical function in order to provide sufficient energy to balance the requirement of the mechanical function. Oxygen consumption increases in almost direct ratio to the increased workload; when the oxygen supply is inadequate for the demand, reversible or irreversible metabolic changes may occur. Such an imbalance is most often… View more
