Myeloid cell recruitment propels right ventricular dysfunction in HFpEF via sterile inflammation.

This paper shows that myeloid cell recruitment drives right ventricular dysfunction in HFpEF through sterile inflammation in both mice and humans.

Lung microvascular rarefaction impairs pulmonary gas exchange and exacerbates heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

This study identifies pulmonary microvascular rarefaction as a novel mechanism in heart failure, linking it to impaired gas exchange and worsened cardiac function.

Pneumonia induced rise in glucagon promotes endothelial damage and vascular thrombogenicity

This study shows that pneumonia increases glucagon levels, which damages endothelial cells and promotes blood clotting, leading to cardiovascular issues.
