Metabolically exaggerated cardiac reactions to acute psychological stress revisited [PDF]
The reactivity hypothesis postulates that large magnitude cardiovascular reactions to psychological stress contribute to the development of pathology. A key but little tested assumption is that such reactions are metabolically exaggerated.

ABSTRACT Background Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a hereditary myocardial disease. Percutaneous endocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PESA) is an innovative approach for treating HOCM. Consequently, we present the outcomes of the PESA for HOCM. Methods This study included 20 patients with HOCM who received PESA.

Interleukin-1 blockade in recently decompensated systolic heart failure: study design of the recently decompensated heart failure anakinra response trial (RED-HART) [PDF]
Heart Failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by dyspnea, fatigue, and poor exercise capacity due to impaired cardiac function. The incidence of HF is increasing and represents the leading cause of hospitalization in the United States among ...

Metabolic changes during cardiac regeneration in the axolotl
Abstract Background The axolotl is a prominent model organism of heart regeneration due to its ability to anatomically and functionally repair the heart after an injury that mimics human myocardial infarction. In humans, such an injury leads to permanent scarring. Cardiac regeneration has been linked to metabolism and the oxygenation state, but so far,

Right Heart Remodeling in Patients with End-Stage Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis: Speckle Tracking Point of View [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Data regarding cardiac remodeling in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis are scarce. We sought to investigate right atrial (RA) and right ventricular (RV) structure, function, and mechanics in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis.

Adult Echocardiography and Doppler [PDF]
One of the first reports of cardiac ultrasound imaging occurred in 1954 by Elder and Hertz. They described the use of ultrasound imaging for displaying continuous recording of movement of heart walls. This was displayed by the use of A-mode and B-mode methods. In the late 1950s, continuous-wave Doppler was used in cardiac imaging.

Interleukin-1 blockade in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: rationale and design of the Diastolic Heart Failure Anakinra Response Trial 2 (D-HART2) [PDF]
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) now accounts for the majority of con-firmed HF cases in the United States. However, there are no highly effective evidence-basedtreatments currently available for these patients.
