Medical Teacher, 1981
In the last issue of this journal an approach to the construction of integrated, multidisciplinary course units was described (Neame 1981). This approach is illustrated in relation to the cardiovascular system course unit developed for use early in the second year of the five-year curriculum at the Faculty of Medicine, The University of Newcastle, New ...

THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM AS A SMART SYSTEM
Topics on Mathematics for Smart Systems, 2007Our work aims at modelling and simulating the growth processes that allow the cardiovascular system to adapt to the overall body development and to changing physiological (and pathological) conditions. Within the cardiovascular system, we pay particular attention to the heart and the aorta. A healthy aortic wall succeeds in keeping a homeostatic stress

Acromegaly and the Cardiovascular System
Neuroendocrinology, 2006Acromegaly is characterized by an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In fact, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I excess induces a specific cardiomyopathy. The heart is involved from the very early stages of the disease in which the hyperkinetic syndrome (high heart rate and increased systolic output) takes place. Frequently,

Hypothyroidism and cardiovascular system
Clinical Medicine (Russian Journal), 2016The article presents data on the relationship between thyroid dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases. The role of dyslipidemia, adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, resistin), C-reactive protein, deficiency of vitamin D3 in the development of cardiovascular disease in hypothyroidism is discussed.

Ketones and the cardiovascular system
Nature Cardiovascular Research, 2023Ketone bodies, the main one being β-hydroxybutyrate, have emerged as important regulators of the cardiovascular system. In healthy individuals, as well as in individuals with heart failure or post-myocardial infarction, ketones provide a supplemental energy source for both the heart and the vasculature.

MicroRNAs in the cardiovascular system
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2011Reprogramming of gene expression underlies the mechanisms involved in cardiac pathogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are unique posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression whose function in cardiac development and disease has recently begun to unravel. In addition, they are potentially highly effective therapeutic tools.

Age and the Cardiovascular System
New England Journal of Medicine, 1992DESPITE the decline in rates of mortality due to heart disease during the past two decades, cardiovascular disease remains the most frequent single cause of death among persons over 65 years of age.1 2 3 It also accounts for a major and growing proportion of hospitalizations and health care costs and is a leading cause of morbidity among older people.2

Exercise and the Cardiovascular System
The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1979Whether regular endurance exercise will increase life span has not been conclusively proved, but as one panelist says, 'If you want to take a gamble, it's a good one.'

Ghrelin and the Cardiovascular System
2014Ghrelin is a peptide that was originally isolated from the stomach. It exerts potent growth hormone (GH)-releasing and orexigenic activities. Several studies have highlighted the therapeutic benefits of ghrelin for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. In animal models of chronic heart failure, the administration of ghrelin improved cardiac function

Osteopontin and cardiovascular system
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2006A matricellular protein, osteopontin (OPN), is expressed in response to mechanical stress and similar stimuli in the heart, integrates the inter-ECM signal transduction network of component cells, and maintains efficient contractility through quantitative and qualitative control of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. In particular, OPN is re-expressed
