This study shows that early Ca2+ waves and synchronization in human heart failure tissue increase arrhythmia risk by promoting focal excitation through altered intercellular connectivity.

This study shows that combining coronary reperfusion with mechanical unloading reduces fibrosis and increases cardiomyocyte proliferation after myocardial infarction in rats.

This study shows L-lactic acid reduces myocardial infarct size and improves cardiac function through MCT1 transport, metabolic reprogramming, and gene expression changes in both acute and chronic settings.
