DOI: 10.1002/clc.23245
Abstract: Despite the technical improvements made in recent years, the overall long‐term success rate of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy remains disappointing. This unsatisfactory situation has persisted even though several approaches to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00380-021-01990-0
Abstract: Recurrence of left ventricular (LV) remodeling after surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) for ischemic cardiomyopathy has been reported to be partially attributed to autophagy. We aimed to examine the effects of trehalose, an autophagy inducer, on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00395-018-0710-1
Abstract: Preclinical investigations support the concept that donor cells more oriented towards a cardiovascular phenotype favor repair. In light of this philosophy, we previously identified HDAC1 as a mediator of cardiac mesenchymal cell (CMC) cardiomyogenic lineage… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11748-019-01187-3
Abstract: Objective Although surgical ventricular restoration for ischemic cardiomyopathy is expected as an alternative or bridge to heart transplantation, post-operative remodeling of left ventricle (LV) needs to be addressed. This study aimed to examine the effect… read more here.
