Clinical Utility and Prognostic Value of Right Atrial Function in Pulmonary Hypertension

Circulation Cardiovascular Imaging, 2018
Background: Although right atrial (RA) enlargement is an established marker for adverse outcomes, the prognostic importance of RA dysfunction independent of RA size in pulmonary arterial hypertension is not known. Methods and Results: Study subjects with

Ornipressin in the treatment of functional renal failure in decompensated liver cirrhosis [PDF]

, 1991
In 11 patients with decompensated cirrhosis and deteriorating renal function, the effect of the vasoconstrictor substance 8-ornithin vasopressin (ornipressin; POR 8; Sandoz, Basel, Switzerland) on renal function, hemodynamic parameters, and humoral ...

Hydrogel platforms for 3D cardiac tissue engineering and fibrotic disease modelling

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based cardiac tissue models are advancing our understanding of heart health and disease. By incorporating electrical conductivity, aligned structures, and tunable mechanical properties, these platforms better replicate the complex environment of native heart tissue.

N-terminal arginines modulate plasma-membrane localization of Kv7.1/KCNE1 channel complexes [PDF]

, 2011
Background and Objective: The slow delayed rectifier current (IKs) is important for cardiac action potential termination. The underlying channel is composed of Kv7.1 α-subunits and KCNE1 β-subunits.

Acute Kidney Injury After Mechanical Thrombectomy for Stroke in Patients With Pre‐Existing Renal Impairment

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common but often underrecognized complication in ischemic stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, particularly among those with pre‐existing renal impairment. This study evaluated the incidence, risk factors, and clinical impact of AKI in this high‐risk population.

Changes in Cardiac-Arterial Coupling After Cardiac Surgery for Aortic Valve Disease

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background:Aortic valve disease affects vascular and cardiac remodeling and function, with changes observed after cardiac surgery. Ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC), which reflects the interaction between the left ventricle and the arterial system, may

Correlation between Serum Platelet Count and Cognitive Function in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Cross-Sectional Study

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2021
Background. The risk of cognitive impairment in patients with atrial fibrillation is significantly increased. Its occurrence may be related to blood hypercoagulable state and immune inflammatory reaction.

Association of Left Atrial Function Index with Atrial Fibrillation and Cardiovascular Disease: The Framingham Offspring Study

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Left atrial (LA) size, a marker of atrial structural remodeling, is associated with increased risk for atrial fibrillation (AF) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). LA function may also relate to AF and CVD, irrespective of LA structure.

Left Atrial Strain for Assessment of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function: Focus on Populations with Normal LVEF.

JACC Cardiovascular Imaging, 2022
Left atrial (LA) strain has emerged as a useful parameter for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function and the estimation of LV filling pressures. Some have advocated using LA strain by itself, mainly reservoir strain, as a single stand-

Remodelling of human atrial K+ currents but not ion channel expression by chronic β-blockade [PDF]

, 2011
Chronic β-adrenoceptor antagonist (β-blocker) treatment in patients is associated with a potentially anti-arrhythmic prolongation of the atrial action potential duration (APD), which may involve remodelling of repolarising K+ currents.
