The role of aortic compliance in determination of coarctation severity: Lumped parameter modeling, in vitro study and clinical evaluation [PDF]

, 2015
Early detection and accurate estimation of the extent of coarctation of the aorta (COA) is critical to long-term outcome. Peak-to-peak trans-coarctation pressure gradient (PKdP) higher than 20 mmHg is an indication for interventional/surgical repair ...

Evolving Features of RASopathies Among Pregnancies With Abnormal Fetal Fluid Collections

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to characterize the fetal features across gestation and describe genotype‐phenotype correlations for pregnancies with fetal RASopathies that were more severely affected as they presented with at least one abnormal fluid collection.

The Effects of Intervention on Heart Power in Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2017
Background In aortic coarctation, current guidelines recommend reducing pressure gradients that exceed given thresholds. From a physiological standpoint this should ideally improve the energy expenditure of the heart and thus prevent long term organ ...

CUL3‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder: Expanding the Prenatal Phenotype

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants of the CUL3 gene are known to cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with a partially described prenatal phenotype. This study further characterizes and expands the spectrum of prenatal sonographic findings associated with the disorder to improve prenatal diagnosis and counseling.

Age‐Dependent Correlation of Pulmonary Function Impairment and Aortic Arch Stiffness in Mice

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
This study examined the relationship between aortic arch stiffness and lung function in aging mice. Multiple linear regression modeling showed moderate to strong correlations between the rise in aortic arch stiffness and changes in lung function as the mice progressively aged.

Bridging Psychological Stress and Skin Cellular Aging: Flavonoids as a Dual‐Action Therapeutic Strategy

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Psychological stress (or simply “stress”) is a major contributor to chronic disease worldwide, affecting 35% of the global population, including younger generations. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in human premature aging; hence, its detrimental effects on people's health compel us to comprehend and control the ways in which ...

Amentoflavone, a Preferentially TGF‐β Receptor 1 Inhibitor, Alleviates Cardiac Remodeling and Dysfunction Through Modulating the TGF‐β/Smad and MAPK Signaling Pathways

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Amentoflavone, a preferentially TGF‐ββ receptor 1 inhibitor, attenuates transverse aortic constriction (TAC)‐triggered cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and dysfunction by suppressing downstream Smad and MAPK signaling cascades in cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts.

2.2 RE-REFLECTION OF BACKWARD PROPAGATING WAVES LEADS TO AMPLIFICATION OF THE FORWARD PRESSURE WAVE IN WAVE SEPARATION ANALYSIS

Artery Research, 2015
Introduction: In wave separation analysis, the pressure wave is decomposed into a single forward and backward component, which actually compounds all forward and backward propagating waves.

Hederagenin Attenuates Cardiac Remodeling by Targeting Phosphodiesterase 9A

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim New therapeutic strategies for heart failure are urgently needed. The protective effects of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)—protein kinase G (PKG) pathway on heart have been widely reported. Despite phosphodiesterase 9A (PDE9A) inhibitors combating cardiac remodeling, clinically available drugs are lacking. Hederagenin

Betulin Protects Against Cardiac Hypertrophy by Improving AMPK/Nrf2‐Dependent Mitochondrial Function

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Betulin effectively mitigates pressure overload‐induced cardiac hypertrophy in both Ang II‐infused and TAC‐operated mice. Mechanistically, betulin activated AMPK phosphorylation, promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation, and upregulated antioxidant genes (HO‐1 and NQO‐1), thereby restoring mitochondrial function in cardiomyocytes.
