Background: The atrium of the juvenile teleost, smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieu Lacépède showed a pigmented endocardium. Our goal was to use fine structure to survey this fish heart tissues and verify the content responsible for this shrouding and ...

Dissecting the Complexity of Early Heart Progenitor Cells
Early heart development depends on the coordinated participation of heterogeneous cell sources. As pioneer work from Adriana C. Gittenberger-de Groot demonstrated, characterizing these distinct cell sources helps us to understand congenital heart defects.

Reprogramming the Endocardium [PDF]
Normal cardiac function is heavily dependent on effective coronary circulation. Coronary perfusion abnormalities, congenital or, much more commonly, acquired, are the leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite many advances in our understanding of fundamentals of heart and blood vessel biology, therapeutic options for patients ...

The Zebrafish Cardiac Endothelial Cell—Roles in Development and Regeneration
In zebrafish, the spatiotemporal development of the vascular system is well described due to its stereotypical nature. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms orchestrating post-embryonic vascular development, the maintenance of vascular ...

Inadvertent Diversion of Superior Vena Cava to the Left Atrium- A Diagnosis Made by Bubble Contrast Echocardiography [PDF]
Sinus venosus Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is the abnormal drainage of pulmonary veins to right atrium, which can present with symptoms of pulmonary hypertension.

Crk and Crkl Are Required in the Endocardial Lineage for Heart Valve Development
Background Endocardial cells are a major progenitor population that gives rise to heart valves through endocardial cushion formation by endocardial to mesenchymal transformation and the subsequent endocardial cushion remodeling.

Aortic thromboembolism (ATE) occurs in cats with cardiomyopathy and often results in euthanasia due to poor prognosis. However, the underlying predisposing mechanisms leading to left atrial (LA) thrombus formation are not fully characterised.

Assessment of Serum Cytokine Concentrations in Infective Endocarditis Patients [PDF]
Introduction: Infective Endocarditis (IE) remains a devastating disease despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. The main stay of diagnosis is blood culture, however many cases are culture negative.

A new, semiautomatic algorithm for tracing outlines of endocardium of newborns that are detectable in echocardiographic images is presented. The main advantage of the method proposed is its low sensitivity to operator errors. Moreover, in contrast to the

The directions of primary strain lines of local deformation in Epicardial and Endocardial layers have been the subject of debate in recent years. Different methods led to different conclusions and a complete assessment of strain direction patterns in ...
