Deletion of low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase (Acp1) protects against stress-induced cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
The low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMPTP), encoded by the ACP1 gene, is a ubiquitously expressed phosphatase whose in vivo function in the heart and in cardiac diseases remains unknown.

Hypocalcaemic cardiac failure [PDF]
SummaryA 35-year-old patient who presented with recurrent chest infection, pulmonary oedema and cardiac failure was found to be grossly hypocalcaemic owing to previously undiagnosed hypoparathyroidism. The cardiac failure was not easily relieved by digoxin and diuretics but it quickly responded when the plasma calcium was restored to normal with ...

Plasma Cardiac Troponin I Concentration and Cardiac Death in Cats with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The use of cardiac biomarkers to assist in the diagnosis of occult and symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats has been established. There is limited data describing their prognostic utility in cats with HCM.

WarpPINN: Cine-MR image registration with physics-informed neural networks [PDF]
Heart failure is typically diagnosed with a global function assessment, such as ejection fraction. However, these metrics have low discriminate power, failing to distinguish different types of this disease. Quantifying local deformations in the form of cardiac strain can provide helpful information, but it remains a challenge.

Mechanisms of action of sacubitril/valsartan on cardiac remodeling: a systems biology approach
Cardiology: Heart Failure Medication Reduces Heart Size The new wonder drug in heart failure management, Sacubitril/Valsartan, rejuvenates the heart by preventing its dilation. Using data from myocardial infarction and heart failure samples, we generated

Fabry Disease Cardiomyopathy: A Review of the Role of Cardiac Imaging from Diagnosis to Treatment
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by the absence or reduction of alfa-galactosidase A activity in lysosomes, resulting in accumulation of glycosphingolipids in various tissues.

Cardiac rehabilitation for heart failure: Do older people want to attend and are they referred? [PDF]
Purpose Uptake of cardiac rehabilitation services by older people is suboptimal. Offering suitable services may increase participation. This study investigated older heart failure patients' preferences between hospital, community and home-based service ...
