Exercise training reverses myocardial dysfunction induced by CaMKIIδC overexpression by restoring Ca2+-homeostasis [PDF]
Several conditions of heart disease, including heart failure and diabetic cardiomyopathy, are associated with upregulation of cytosolic Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKIIδC) activity.

Diastolic cardiac function in connective tissue dysplasia
The article analyzes literature data on the diagnostics of diastolic function condition in young patients with signs of connective tissue dysplasia. The problem of diagnostics of pre-clinical left-ventricular diastolic dysfunction was discussed, as well ...

Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

AI-enabled Assessment of Cardiac Systolic and Diastolic Function from Echocardiography [PDF]
Left ventricular (LV) function is an important factor in terms of patient management, outcome, and long-term survival of patients with heart disease. The most recently published clinical guidelines for heart failure recognise that over reliance on only one measure of cardiac function (LV ejection fraction) as a diagnostic and treatment stratification ...

Role of left ventricular regional nonuniformity in hypertensive diastolic dysfunction [PDF]
Objectives. This study investigated 1) the role of left ventricular diastolic nonuniformity in hypertensive left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and 2) the effect of a calcium channel antagonist on diastolic nonuniformity in hypertensive and ...

Acute neurohumoral modulation of diastolic function [PDF]
Diastole plays a central role in cardiovascular homeostasis. Its two main determinants, myocardial relaxation and passive properties of the ventricular wall, are nowadays regarded as physiological mechanisms susceptible of active modulation. Furthermore, diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with normal ejection fraction (previously called diastolic ...

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 ...

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

Diastolic function and tachycardia in hypertensive children [PDF]
We investigated the prevalence and potential predictors of Doppler echocardiographic evidence of diastolic function in untreated hypertensive children. Doppler and M-mode echocardiographic values from 42 children (mean age 13, range 5-17 years) from a pediatric hypertension clinic were retrospectively reviewed and compared to data from 39 age and ...
