The multi-modality cardiac imaging approach to the Athlete's heart: an expert consensus of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging [PDF]
The term 'athlete's heart' refers to a clinical picture characterized by a slow heart rate and enlargement of the heart. A multi-modality imaging approach to the athlete's heart aims to differentiate physiological changes due to intensive training in the

NO and cardiac diastolic function [PDF]
Time for primary review 34 days. Since the first report of a role for nitric oxide (NO) in modulating myocardial contractile function in 1991 [1], an enormous number of studies have been published in this field (recently reviewed in Refs. [2–4]). It is now recognised that, under physiological conditions, the major sources of NO that are important for

Magnesium supplementation improves diabetic mitochondrial and cardiac diastolic function.
In heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), the majority of patients have hypomagnesemia, and magnesium (Mg) supplementation has improved cardiac function and insulin resistance.

Diastolic function evaluation in children with ventricular arrhythmia
Premature ventricular contractions (PVC) are frequently seen in children. We evaluated left ventricular diastolic function in PVC children with normal left ventricular systolic function to detect whether diastolic function disturbances affect physical ...
