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 ...

Mesencephalic Astrocyte‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor Binds BAX to Preserve Mitochondrial Homeostasis and Energy Metabolism for Relieving Myocardial Hypertrophy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MANF in cardiomyocytes interacts with BAX to impede BAX mitochondrial translocation and cytochrome c release, further stabilizing mitochondrial structure and energy supply to relieve myocardial apoptosis and hypertrophy, which indicates MANF as a novel cardioprotective factor to have a promising clinical application for myocardial hypertrophy ...

In Vitro Flow Modelling for Mitral Valve Leakage Quantification [PDF]

, 2009
In this study particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to measure and visualise the blood flow through a leaking mitral heart valve. The results are compared with the results from Doppler echocardiography and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Using CAD,

Right Heart Remodeling in Patients with End-Stage Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis: Speckle Tracking Point of View [PDF]

, 2019
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.

The Role of HINT3 in Myocardial Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury in Male Mice: Mechanisms Involving SDHA and its Acetylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HINT3 expression declines after myocardial ischemia‐reperfusion injury. In male mice, loss of HINT3 worsens cardiac injury and mitochondrial dysfunction, while its overexpression is protective. HINT3 binds the mitochondrial enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDHA) and prevents its deacetylation by histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), reducing succinate ...

Impact of age on pulmonary artery systolic pressures at rest and with exercise

Echo Research and Practice, 2016
Aim: It is not well known if advancing age influences normal rest or exercise pulmonary artery pressures. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the association of increasing age with measurements of pulmonary artery systolic pressure at rest and with ...

Ischaemic strokes in patients with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: associations with iron deficiency and platelets. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundPulmonary first pass filtration of particles marginally exceeding ∼7 µm (the size of a red blood cell) is used routinely in diagnostics, and allows cellular aggregates forming or entering the circulation in the preceding cardiac cycle to lodge ...

A Human Engineered Heart Tissue‐Derived Lipotoxic Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Model Revealed Early Benefits of Empagliflozin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a human engineered heart tissue‐derived model of diabetic cardiomyopathy that accurately replicates the dynamic changes in the structural, contractile, and electrophysiological properties of the myocardium. Furthermore, this model is used to confirm the direct protective effects of empagliflozin on the heart through an SGLT2 off ...

Left ventricular systolic function changes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients detected by the strain of different myocardium layers and longitudinal rotation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2017
Background Impairment of left ventricular (LV) longitudinal function has an important role in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This research investigated an association between the longitudinal strain of different myocardial layers, longitudinal ...

Physiological and clinical consequences of relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction late after repair of congenital heart defects. [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a common problem after repair of congenital heart disease. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) can treat this condition without consequent pulmonary regurgitation or ...
