Elements of psychocardiology in the psychosocial handling of adults with congenital heart disease
When it comes to the role of the clinical psychology in the cardiac settings, or psychocardiology, there is often a focus on acquired cardiac illnesses in the rehabilitation settings.

Ribose supplementation alone or with elevated creatine does not preserve high energy nucleotides or cardiac function in the failing mouse heart [PDF]
Background: Reduced levels of creatine and total adenine nucleotides (sum of ATP, ADP and AMP) are hallmarks of chronic heart failure and restoring these pools is predicted to be beneficial by maintaining the diseased heart in a more favourable energy ...

Overview of Cardiac Arrhythmias and Treatment Strategies
Maintenance of normal cardiac rhythm requires coordinated activity of ion channels and transporters that allow well-ordered propagation of electrical impulses across the myocardium. Disruptions in this orderly process provoke cardiac arrhythmias that may

Hypoalbuminaemia predicts outcome in adult patients with congenital heart disease [PDF]
Background In patients with acquired heart failure, hypoalbuminaemia is associated with increased risk of death. The prevalence of hypoproteinaemia and hypoalbuminaemia and their relation to outcome in adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD ...
