Efficient identification of myocardial material parameters and the stress-free reference configuration for patient-specific human heart models [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Image-based computational models of the heart represent a powerful tool to shed new light on the mechanisms underlying physiological and pathological conditions in cardiac function and to improve diagnosis and therapy planning. However, in order to enable the clinical translation of such models, it is crucial to develop personalized models that are ...

Protein‐Like Polymers Targeting Keap1/Nrf2 as Therapeutics for Myocardial Infarction
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We describe a Keap1 targeting protein‐like polymer (PLP) which activates Nrf2, an important cytoprotective transcription factor for relieving myocardial infarction‐induced oxidative stress. This PLP increases cell survival in vitro in multiple relevant cardiac cell types and elicits pro‐reparative responses, improving cardiac function in a preclinical ...

A Novel Mathematical/Numerical Formula for Assessing Right Ventricular Torsion Using Echocardiographic Imaging [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Recently, the ventricular torsional parameters have received special attention because of their significant role in the ventricular systolic and diastolic function. Right ventricular (RV) rotational deformation is a sensitive index for RV performance but difficult to measure.

Do patients with suspected heart failure and preserved left ventricular systolic function suffer from "diastolic heart failure" or from misdiagnosis? A prospective descriptive study [PDF]
, 2000 OBJECTIVES: To characterise the clinical features of patients with suspected heart failure but preserved left ventricular systolic function to determine if they have other potential causes for their symptoms rather than being diagnosed with 'diastolic ...

The Effect of Metformin on Diastolic Function in Patients Presenting with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Diastolic dysfunction is an important predictor of poor outcome after myocardial infarction. Metformin treatment improved diastolic function in animal models and patients with diabetes. Whether metformin improves diastolic function in patients presenting

A Wavelet Approach for the Estimation of Left Ventricular Early Filling Wave Propagation Velocity from Color-M-Mode Echocardiograms [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Objective: This work evaluates a new approach for calculating the left-ventricular (LV) early filling propagation velocity (VP) from color M-Mode (CMM) echocardiograms using wavelet analysis. Unlike current approaches, the method requires no assumptions, user inputs, or heuristic conventions.
