Correlation between 2D Echocardiography and Multidetector Row CT for Early Detection of Diastolic Dysfunction in Normotensive Diabetic Patients [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Abnormalities in diastolic function are considered early signs of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Two dimensional echocardiography with Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) has been used most commonly to evaluate diastolic left ventricular function ...

Looking for Diastolic Dysfunction [PDF]

Circulation, 2002
To the Editor: Zile et al1 simplify the diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction by offering an easy approach: normal ejection fraction in a patient with heart failure strongly suggests diastolic dysfunction. Still, one needs an echocardiogram. I am surprised that they, like others,2,3⇓ do not make this difficult-seeming diagnosis even easier: if a patient ...

Progression of Coronary Artery Calcium and Incident Heart Failure: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundAlthough the association between coronary artery calcium (CAC) and future heart failure (HF) has been shown previously, the value of CAC progression in the prediction of HF has not been investigated.

Patient‐Derived 3D Bioprinted Cardiac Organoid Constructs Reveal Key Pathological Features of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Patient‐derived cardiac organoids reveal key features of Duchenne muscular dystrophy cardiomyopathy, including apoptosis, oxidative stress, calcium handling defects, and mechanical remodeling. By integrating organoids into alginate–gelatin bioprinted constructs, disease phenotypes are organized into scalable 3D cardiac tissues displaying extracellular ...

Cardiac macrophages promote diastolic dysfunction [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2018
Macrophages populate the healthy myocardium and, depending on their phenotype, may contribute to tissue homeostasis or disease. Their origin and role in diastolic dysfunction, a hallmark of cardiac aging and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, remain unclear.

Simvastatin Restores Uteroplacental Hemodynamics and Trophoblast Function in Obstetric Antiphospholipid Syndrome in a Placenta‐on‐a‐Chip Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Simvastatin mitigates placental hypoperfusion in OAPS by ameliorating abnormal uteromaternal hemodynamics and enhancing trophoblast invasion via optimized endothelial cell interactions under pathological shear stress, as evidenced by results from a placenta‐on‐a‐chip platform.

Assessment of left ventricular diastolic function with cardiovascular MRI: what radiologists should know [PDF]

, 2012
Diastolic dysfunction is a common entity and the predominant cause of heart failure in 40%-50% of patients. Diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction is clinically relevant and is associated with a poor prognosis.

Soluble ST2 levels and left ventricular structure and function in patients with metabolic syndrome [PDF]

, 2016
Background: A biomarker that is of great interest in relation to adverse cardiovascular events is soluble ST2 (sST2), a member of the interleukin family.

A Personalized, 3D Printed Polymeric Device for the Prevention of Post‐Myocardial Infarction Cardiac Remodeling

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Myocardial infarction often leads to pathological remodelling and ventricular dilatation, key features of HFrEF. This study introduces a personalized, 3D‐printed cardiac restraint device (CARD) printed using rationally designed inks displaying the requested printability and mechanical properties.
