🎬 That’s a wrap on #ESCSpringSummit! Two inspiring days, countless ideas, and one shared mission: stronger cardiovascular health for every community. 💙 Before we close, hear a final message from @ESC_President, Thomas F. Lüscher – a reminder of what we can achieve when we move forward together across nations and specialties. Diversity is our strength – unity is our power.

Stuck between a ROCK2 and a hard place? New research just out shows selective ROCK2 inhibition reduces microvascular obstruction after myocardial I/R but doesn’t limit infarct size. Highlights distinct roles for ROCK isoforms in #cardioprotection. 🫀🔬 doi.org/10.1016/j.jmcc…

🫀🦠 How does #COVID19 damage the heart? New research from Gross et al. using human iPSC-derived #cardiomyocytes uncovers cellular responses to SARS-CoV-2, shedding light on mechanisms of cardiac injury. doi.org/10.1016/j.jmcc…

🚨 New paper alert! Feder et al. have recently shown that persistently increased #CaMKIIδ autophosphorylation drives pathological sarcoplasmic reticulum #calcium loss in a murine model of #doxorubicin-induced #cardiomyopathy. 💔➡️📉 Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.jmcc…

We’re turning 50! Register now for the 50th Annual Meeting of the ESC Working Group on Cardiac Cellular Electrophysiology, taking place on 6–8 July 2026 in Leuven, Belgium. Join us where it all began for inspiring lectures, dynamic posters, and meaningful connections in a welcoming, collaborative setting. Don’t forget to submit your abstract and apply for a grant: ow.ly/ph7050Xsz59 #EWGCCE26 #Epeeps #basicEP #Electrophysiology #ESCYoung @EWGCCEChair

🧪 Just out: a new #review of Rac1-driven signalling in cardiomyocytes — covering #hypertrophy, #arrhythmia and #redox stress. A must-read for anyone in cardiac research! 💙 #Cardiology #HeartResearch #SignalTransduction doi.org/10.1016/j.jmcc…
