This case report examines the long-term impact of extensive anabolic-androgenic steroid use on metabolic and cardiovascular health, highlighting adverse effects to guide primary care for this patient group.

This study compared the echocardiographic profiles of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome to those of healthy subjects using conventional methods and tissue Doppler imaging, but it reports no specific findings here.

In this study, echocardiographic measures of cardiac function in women with polycystic ovary syndrome were found to be similar to those of healthy women.

In this study, children with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia were found to have increased epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis markers and left ventricular dysfunction, especially in poorly controlled cases.

This study found that rat hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells can be successfully differentiated into beating atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes by using specific combinations of growth factors and inhibitors in culture, demonstrating their potential to form functional myocardial fibers similar to adult heart cells.

This study found that in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis, higher serum dihydrotestosterone levels were associated with increased myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and reduced left ventricular function.

This study suggests that male sex and androgenic steroid use increase the risk of atrial arrhythmias in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, especially those with desmosomal gene mutations.

This study found that long-term minoxidil treatment, despite improving hemodynamics and left ventricular function, was associated with more frequent clinical events and a poorer clinical course in patients with chronic left ventricular failure.

This case report describes a 70-year-old woman whose cardiac arrest was linked to hyperthyroidism-induced pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure, with significant improvement following the treatment of her thyroid dysfunction.

This case report describes a 19-year-old patient with undiagnosed severe portopulmonary hypertension who experienced acute right ventricular failure and cardiac arrest following liver transplantation, subsequently managed with ECMO and a paracorporeal lung-assist device.

This study found that Wnt1/βcatenin signaling plays a crucial role in activating the epicardium and cardiac fibroblasts, which supports cardiac repair following acute ischemic injury.

This review discusses the cardiovascular risks and events associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid use, suggesting the need for further research on some effects.

This case report highlights that repletion of various micronutrients, including thiamine, significantly improved heart failure symptoms and cardiac function in a malnourished patient with vitamin deficiencies.

Minoxidil may cause heart issues in animals and humans.

This study found that prenatal exposure to androgens caused long-lasting heart remodeling and left ventricular hypertrophy in female mice offspring, suggesting potential cardiac risks for daughters of mothers with PCOS.

This study identified a novel homozygous EDNRA variant linked to Oro-Oto-Cardiac Syndrome and showed that EDNRA signaling is essential for normal craniofacial and cardiovascular development.

This review summarizes how genetic studies using conditional β-catenin loss- and gain-of-function mice have advanced understanding of canonical Wnt signaling's role in embryonic development, adult stem cell maintenance, and cancer modeling.

This study observed no teratogenic effects of oral decongestants and surprisingly favorable neonatal outcomes in Swedish women who used them during pregnancy.

Blood pressure that doesn't drop at night is linked to worse blood vessel function in people with high blood pressure.

This review discusses the neurobiology of sexual function and reports no new results; the authors cover multiple endocrine and neurotransmitter influences on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm stages.

In this study, minoxidil treatment in aged mice increased elastin expression and improved aortic structure and function, suggesting its potential for arterial remodeling in aging.

This study found that young women with PCOS exhibited altered white matter microstructure and reduced cognitive performance compared to matched controls.

This study found that minoxidil provides cardioprotective effects in guinea-pig heart cells through selective activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels.

This study found that children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia had elevated epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with increased carotid intima media thickness, left ventricular mass, and mitral deceleration time.

This review explores how sex differences influence the pathophysiology, incidence, and treatment outcomes of ischaemic heart disease, and emphasizes the need for more sex-specific research.

This chapter reviews drugs affecting blood coagulation and details the increased hemorrhage risk associated with warfarin interactions, liver disease, heart failure, and antiphospholipid antibodies but reports no new clinical results.

This study describes three new cases of MCOPS6 with BMP4 variants, noting expanded phenotypic variability but no clinically apparent microphthalmia in these individuals, which is commonly reported in the disorder.

This article outlines the rationale, design, major findings, and updated objectives of the ongoing Rotterdam Study, without presenting new research data.

This review explores the significant impacts of hormonal changes within normal physiological ranges and suggests examining low-dose effects from chemicals disrupting hormonal activity; it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that in a mouse model, alopecia areata was associated with changes in heart structure, biochemistry, and gene expression linked to cardiac hypertrophy after ACTH exposure.
