Diagnosis and Management of Coronary Artery Disease from a Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics Perspective

In coronary artery disease (CAD), the initiation, progression, and regression of atherosclerosis remain insufficiently characterized, limiting the precision of current diagnostic strategies and personalized management. Because molecular and noninvasive imaging studies have yet to establish a definitive mechanism for atherosclerosis, our team has taken a different approach—interpreting the disease through the principles of fluid mechanics (FM) and acoustics. In this framework, the cardiovascular system is conceptualized as a hydraulic network of pumps and pipes, where... see more

Inflammation, Immunity, and Cardiac Injury

The body responds to various cardiac injuries via complex acute and chronic adaptive processes to maintain pump function. Central to this process is inflammation and immune response. Short-lived inflammation promotes cardiac repair and remodeling post-injury. However, exaggerated inflammation may lead to adverse remodeling following an injury. Therefore, a balance in the degree of inflammation is a vital determinant in promoting endogenous repair. The potent sterile inflammation of the injured heart depends on a multitude of... see more

Advances in Aortic Disease Research and Management

This thematic issue of Current Cardiology Reviews will explore cutting-edge developments in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of aortic diseases, with a focus on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and aortic dissection. Comprising 10-12 articles by leading experts, the issue will cover critical topics such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to uncover cellular mechanisms, epidemiological trends, and bioinformatics approaches for data-driven insights. Additional areas include novel imaging techniques, genetic and molecular pathways, immunological factors, and artificial... see more

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Cardiovascular Disease

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cardiovascular disease is an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates advanced technologies to improve patient care. The current AI landscape faces significant challenges, including the complexity of diagnosing and treating these conditions. Recent studies have shown promising results in the use of AI for early detection, diagnosis, and personalized treatment plans, but there are still substantial gaps in the complete understanding and implementation of these technologies. Despite these advances, there is an... see more
