Investigating the role of uncoupling of troponin I phosphorylation from changes in myofibrillar Ca(2+)-sensitivity in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
Contraction in the mammalian heart is controlled by the intracellular Ca2+ concentration as it is in all striated muscle, but the heart has an additional signalling system that comes into play to increase heart rate and cardiac output during exercise or ...

Cardiomyopathies in the elderly [PDF]
Cardiomyopathies in the elderly have certain characteristic features. The dilated form appears to be less common than in younger patients. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is more often associated with severe and concentric hypertrophy. The prognosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy seems to be better in the elderly, because they appear to have a lower ...
