Metabolic syndrome influences cardiac gene expression pattern at the transcript level in male ZDF rats [PDF]
Background: Metabolic syndrome (coexisting visceral obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension) is a prominent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, however, its effect on cardiac gene expression pattern is unclear ...

Deletion of heat shock protein 60 in adult mouse cardiomyocytes perturbs mitochondrial protein homeostasis and causes heart failure. [PDF]
To maintain healthy mitochondrial enzyme content and function, mitochondria possess a complex protein quality control system, which is composed of different endogenous sets of chaperones and proteases.

Revisiting Frank–Starling: regulatory light chain phosphorylation alters the rate of force redevelopment (ktr) in a length-dependent fashion [PDF]
Force and power in cardiac muscle have a known dependence on phosphorylation of the myosin-associated regulatory light chain (RLC). We explore the effect of RLC phosphorylation on the ability of cardiac preparations to redevelop force (ktr ) in maximally

Alcohol septal ablation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: For which patients?
Percutaneous and surgical therapies for septal reduction for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have been going head‐to‐head for the past 20 years with similar outcomes and mortality rates, although contemporary myectomy seems to materialize its superiority ...

Micro-RNAs of the miR-15 family modulate cardiomyocyte survival and cardiac repair [PDF]
A family of microRNAs, called the miR-15 family, which includes miR-195, are shown to be up-regulated during pathological cardiac remodeling and repress the expression of mRNAs required for cell proliferation and survival, with consequent loss of ...

In addition to a conventional relaxed state, a fraction of myosins in the cardiac muscle exists in a low-energy consuming super-relaxed (SRX) state, which is kept as a reserve pool that may be engaged under sustained increased cardiac demand. The conventional relaxed and the super-relaxed states are widely assumed to correspond to a structure where ...

Cardiac Myosin Inhibition for Treatment of LVOT Obstruction in a Patient With Severe AS
Aortic stenosis and obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are common conditions. When both are present in the same patient, the management can be challenging.
