Over expression of Plk1 does not induce cell division in rat cardiac myocytes in vitro. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Mammalian cardiac myocytes withdraw from the cell cycle during post-natal development, resulting in a non-proliferating, fully differentiated adult phenotype that is unable to repair damage to the myocardium, such as occurs following a ...

Regional differences in APD restitution can initiate wavebreak and re-entry in cardiac tissue: A computational study [PDF]
Background Regional differences in action potential duration (APD) restitution in the heart favour arrhythmias, but the mechanism is not well understood.

Early Postnatal Cardiac Stress Does Not Influence Ventricular Cardiomyocyte Cell-Cycle Withdrawal
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect. After birth, patients with CHD may suffer from cardiac stress resulting from abnormal loading conditions.

Interactions between cardiac activity and conscious somatosensory perception
Fluctuations in the heart's activity can modulate the access of external stimuli to consciousness. The link between perceptual awareness and cardiac signals has been investigated mainly in the visual and auditory domain. Here, we investigated whether the

Accuracy of prediction of infarct-related arrhythmic circuits from image-based models reconstructed from low and high resolution MRI. [PDF]
Identification of optimal ablation sites in hearts with infarct-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) remains difficult to achieve with the current catheter-based mapping techniques.

Glucose inhibits cardiac muscle maturation through nucleotide biosynthesis. [PDF]
The heart switches its energy substrate from glucose to fatty acids at birth, and maternal hyperglycemia is associated with congenital heart disease. However, little is known about how blood glucose impacts heart formation.

Cardiac alternans and intracellular calcium cycling [PDF]
SummaryCardiac alternans refers to a condition in which there is a periodic beat‐to‐beat oscillation in electrical activity and the strength of cardiac muscle contraction at a constant heart rate. Clinically, cardiac alternans occurs in settings that are typical for cardiac arrhythmias and has been causally linked to these conditions.

ABSTRACT Background Patients with solid tumours or lymphomas have an increased risk of thromboembolism (TE) and thrombocytopenia. Evidence‐based strategies for anticoagulation therapy (ACT) for patients with thrombocytopenia are limited. We examined the impact of thrombocytopenia on ACT administration and bleeding incidence in children with solid ...

Reduction of radiation dose for coronary computed tomography angiography using prospective electrocardiography-triggered high-pitch acquisition in clinical routine [PDF]
Purpose: To evaluate the image quality, radiation exposure, and means of application in a group of patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) performed with low-dose prospective electrocardiography (ECG)-triggered acquisition ...

ABSTRACT Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic events prior to age 18 that are known to have a lasting impact on individuals’ health and well‐being. There is a gap in understanding the relationship between ACEs and Other Life Stressors and health status for adults with sickle cell disease (SCD).
