Heart Rate Variability for Early Detection of Cardiac Iron Deposition in Patients with Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Iron overload cardiomyopathy remains the major cause of death in patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia. Cardiac T2* magnetic resonance imaging is costly yet effective in detecting cardiac iron accumulation in the heart.

Evaluation of renal perfusion in hyperthyroid cats before and after radioiodine treatment [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Hyperthyroidism and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common in elderly cats. Consequently, both diseases often occur concurrently. Furthermore, renal function is affected by thyroid status. Because changes in renal perfusion play an important

Automatic segmentation of the left ventricle cavity and myocardium in MRI data [PDF]

, 2006
A novel approach for the automatic segmentation has been developed to extract the epi-cardium and endo-cardium boundaries of the left ventricle (lv) of the heart. The developed segmentation scheme takes multi-slice and multi-phase magnetic resonance (MR)

Afterload-related cardiac performance is a powerful hemodynamic predictor of mortality in patients with chronic heart failure

Therapeutic Advances in Chronic Disease, 2023
Background: Afterload-related cardiac performance (ACP), a diagnostic parameter for septic cardiomyopathy, integrates both cardiac performance and vascular effects and could predict prognosis in septic shock.

Assessment of Left Atrial Deformation and Function by 2-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Healthy Dogs and Dogs With Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease [PDF]

, 2017
open7noBackground: The assessment of left atrial (LA) function by 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) holds important clinical implications in human medicine. Few similar data are available in dogs.

Impact of Thyroid Dysfunction on Cardiac Structure and Function in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Post-percutaneous Coronary Intervention: a Large Single-center Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]

Zhongguo quanke yixue
Background Thyroid dysfunction is common in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, its impact on cardiac structure and function within the context of chronic comorbidities remains unclear.

Atrial fibrillation and electrophysiology in transgenic mice with cardiac-restricted overexpression of FKBP12 [PDF]

, 2019
Cardiomyocyte-restricted overexpression of FK506-binding protein 12 transgenic (αMyHC-FKBP12) mice develop spontaneous atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of the present study is to explore the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of AF in αMyHC-FKBP12 ...
