WNT signalling comprises a diverse spectrum of receptor-mediated pathways activated by a
large family of WNT ligands and influencing fundamental biological processes. WNT …

Obesity is associated with higher risks of cardiac arrhythmias. Although this may be partly
explained by concurrent cardiometabolic ill-health, growing evidence suggests that …

Atrial fibrillation is very common among the elderly and/or obese. While myocardial fibrosis
is associated with atrial fibrillation, the exact mechanisms within atrial myocytes and …

Obesity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Recently, rather

The current minireview aims to assess the implications of epicardial fat secretory function in
the development of coronary artery disease. The epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a …

Cardiomyopathies (CMPs) represent a significant healthcare burden and are a major cause
of heart failure leading to premature death. Several CMPs are now recognized to have a …

Inherited cardiomyopathies are frequent causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD), especially
in young patients. Despite at the autopsy they usually have distinctive microscopic and/or …
