Plasticity of the heart in response to changes in physical activity
Abstract figure legend The heart adapts to changes in physical activity, with inactivity (e.g. bed rest or spaceflight) causing cardiac atrophy and ventricular stiffening, and endurance exercise training leading to eccentric hypertrophy and improved ventricular compliance.

Acute and recurrent pericarditis [PDF]
Pericardial diseases have been until recently relatively neglected entity; however, there has been a markedly increased interest in these disorders in the last decade due to new diagnostic as well as therapeutic options. Various clinical manifestations of pericardial diseases may be generally grouped into pericardial syndromes including pericarditis ...
