Bufalin‐Induced Epithelial‐to‐Mesenchymal Transition in Kidney Epithelial Cells

Cell Biology International, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 1764-1786, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The kidney plays a central role in fluid, electrolyte, and blood pressure regulation, processes tightly coupled to Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase activity. Beyond its canonical transport function, Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase also acts as a signaling receptor for cardiotonic steroids (CTSs) such as bufalin, which have been implicated in fibrosis and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal

Enhancing patient care: a multimodality strategy for dilated cardiomyopathy in Chagas disease [PDF]

Exploration of Cardiology
Chagas disease is a systemic illness characterized by acute and chronic phases. If untreated, it can lead to dysfunction of vital organs, notably the heart, ultimately resulting in heart failure.

Minimally Invasive Repair of Left Ventricular Aneurysm After Esophagectomy With Retrosternal Gastric Conduit: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
Preoperative CT and 3D reconstruction demonstrating an inferior left ventricular aneurysm in a patient with a retrosternal gastric conduit, highlighting the rationale for choosing a left mini‐thoracotomy approach. ABSTRACT In patients with prior esophagectomy and retrosternal gastric conduit, conventional sternotomy may be hazardous.

Left Ventricular Scar and Prognosis in Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC) have pronounced myocardial fibrosis, which may predispose to sudden cardiac death, despite well-preserved global left ventricular (LV) systolic function.

A Novel Predictive Score to Identify the Necessity for Epicardial Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation: EPI‐VT‐Score

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page 2870-2877, November 2025.
The novel EPI‐VT‐Score accurately predicts the need for epicardial VT ablation using simple clinical, echocardiographic and ECG variables, optimizing patient selection and procedural outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Epicardial ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation is a therapeutic option for drug‐refractory VT, particularly when endocardial ablation fails

The effect of beta-blockade on myocardial remodelling in Chagas' cardiomyopathy

Clinics, 2012
OBJECTIVE: Chagas' disease has spread throughout Latin America because of the high rate of migration among these countries. Approximately 30% of Chagas' patients will develop cardiomyopathy, and 10% of these will develop severe cardiac damage leading to ...

Cognitive dysfunction in chronic Chagas disease cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Dementia & Neuropsychologia, 2009
Abstract Chagas disease (CD) remains a major cause of stroke in developing countries, but cognitive repercussion of CD has not been well studied. Objective: To compare the frequency and pattern of cognitive dysfunction in patients with CD cardiomyopathy (CDC) and other cardiomyopathies (OC).

Biomarkers and Mortality in Severe Chagas Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Global Heart, 2015
Chagas cardiomyopathy is a chronic sequela of infection by the parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi. Advanced cardiomyopathy is associated with a high mortality rate, and clinical characteristics have been used to predict mortality risk. Though multiple biomarkers have been associated with Chagas cardiomyopathy, it is unknown how these are related to survival ...

Diet Alters Serum Metabolomic Profiling in the Mouse Model of Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy

Disease Markers, 2019
Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi which is endemic in Latin America. T. cruzi infection results in a latent infection with approximately a third of latently infected patients developing chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCM).
