Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Cardiac Arrhythmias
Electrophysiological and structural disruptions in cardiac arrhythmias are closely related to mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria are an organelle generating ATP, thereby satisfying the energy demand of the incessant electrical activity in the heart.

Diabetes-Related Cardiac Dysfunction [PDF]
The proposal that diabetes plays a role in the development of heart failure is supported by the increased risk associated with this disease, even after correcting for all other known risk factors.

An Update on Intradialytic Cardiac Dysfunction [PDF]
AbstractCardiac dysfunction is a key factor in the high morbidity and mortality rates seen in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Much of the dysfunction is manifest as adverse changes in cardiac and vascular structure prior to commencing dialysis. This adverse vascular remodeling arises as a dysregulation between pro‐ and antiproliferative signaling pathways ...

The role of cardiac dysfunction in multiorgan dysfunction
The aim of this review was to examine the main determinants of cardiac dysfunction in critically ill patients, as well as how a reduction in cardiac performance influences other organ function.Cardiac dysfunction is a frequent complication in critically ill patients and contributes to organ hypoperfusion and poor outcome.

Radiation-induced cardiac dysfunction: Practical implications [PDF]
Radiation-induced cardiac dysfunction is a critical healthcare concern facing survivors of thoracic cancers treated with radiation therapy. Despite cardiac-sparing advances in radiation therapy delivery, many patients with thoracic cancers receiving ...

Proteotoxicity and Cardiac Dysfunction [PDF]
Baseline physiological function of the mammalian heart is under the constant threat of environmental or intrinsic pathological insults. Cardiomyocyte proteins are thus subject to unremitting pressure to function optimally, and this depends on them assuming and maintaining proper conformation.

Il12a Deletion Aggravates Sepsis-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction by Regulating Macrophage Polarization
Cardiac dysfunction is a well-recognized complication of sepsis and is associated with the outcome and prognosis of septic patients. Evidence suggests that Il12a participates in the regulation of various cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa pulmonary infection results in S100A8/A9-dependent cardiac dysfunction.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.a.) infection accounts for nearly 20% of all cases of hospital acquired pneumonia with mortality rates >30%. P.a. infection induces a robust inflammatory response, which ideally enhances bacterial clearance.
