Natural genetic variation of the cardiac transcriptome in non-diseased donors and patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

Genome Biology, 2017
Background Genetic variation is an important determinant of RNA transcription and splicing, which in turn contributes to variation in human traits, including cardiovascular diseases. Results Here we report the first in-depth survey of heart transcriptome

Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Hypocalcemia-Induced Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Pediatric Population

Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2021
Background Hypocalcemia is a rare reversible cause of dilated cardiomyopathy in pediatric population. Myocarditis is another more frequent cause of cardiomyopathy with overlapping presenting features.

Immunity in dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Heart and Vessels, 1985
Although several immunologic parameters have been found to be abnormal, their precise relationship to the cause of the disease remains unclear. It is believed that a virus initiating a bout of myocarditis may play a role in the perpetuation of the chronic phase, probably via immunologic mediation.

Dilated cardiomyopathy in thyrotoxicosis [PDF]

Heart, 1999
Heart failure is a rare manifestation of thyrotoxicosis in patients without heart disease.1-3 We report two cases of thyrotoxicosis and no previous heart disease presenting with severe heart failure. Successful treatment of the thyrotoxicosis resulted in progressive improvement of cardiac function.

Mena/VASP and αII-Spectrin complexes regulate cytoplasmic actin networks in cardiomyocytes and protect from conduction abnormalities and dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: In the heart, cytoplasmic actin networks are thought to have important roles in mechanical support, myofibrillogenesis, and ion channel function.

Abnormal Circadian Blood Pressure Profile as a Prognostic Marker in Patients with Nonischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2016
Objectives: An abnormal circadian blood pressure (BP) profile is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, its significance in heart failure patients with nonischemic etiology is unknown.
