An Endothelial Contribution to Coronary Vessels [PDF]
Despite the profound impact of coronary artery disease on human health, the origins of the coronary blood vessels are poorly understood. Wu et al. use imaging and genetic techniques to show that the endocardium contributes to the coronary vessels and that the coronary arteries and veins have multilineage origins.

Sox17 Controls Emergence and Remodeling of Nestin-Expressing Coronary Vessels
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Rationale: The molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of coronary arteries during development and during cardiac neovascularization after injury are poorly understood.

ObjectiveTwo-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) has been used as a diagnostic tool for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, whether vessel supplied myocardial strain and strain rate (SR) predict the severity of coronary artery ...

Development of the Coronary Vessel System [PDF]
Formation of the coronary vessels is a fundamental event in heart development. Congenital abnormalities in the coronary system can have major deleterious effects on heart function. It is also possible that subtle variation in the patterning of coronary vessels has significant but uncharacterized effects on myocardial structure and function. In addition,

The mysterious origins of coronary vessels [PDF]
The origin of the coronary vessels remains a mystery. Here we discuss recent studies that address this puzzle, including new work by Tian et al. recently published in Cell Research.

Immunolocalization of KATP channel subunits in mouse and rat cardiac myocytes and the coronary vasculature. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Electrophysiological data suggest that cardiac KATP channels consist of Kir6.2 and SUR2A subunits, but the distribution of these (and other KATP channel subunits) is poorly defined.

Anatomic and Hemodynamic Plaque Characteristics for Subsequent Coronary Events
ObjectivesWhile coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) enables the evaluation of anatomic and hemodynamic plaque characteristics of coronary artery disease (CAD), the clinical roles of these characteristics are not clear.

Diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease. the role of ion channels [PDF]
Diabetes mellitus is one the strongest risk factors for cardiovascular disease and, in particular, for ischemic heart disease (IHD). The pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia in diabetic patients is complex and not fully understood: some diabetic ...
