Endocardium in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: Implications from In Vitro Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Endocardium lines the inner layer of the heart ventricle and serves as the source of valve endothelial cells and interstitial cells. Previously, endocardium-associated abnormalities in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) have been reported, including ...

Assessment of Serum Cytokine Concentrations in Infective Endocarditis Patients [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2020
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.

Geometry Does Impact on the Plane Strain Directions of the Human Left Ventricle, Irrespective of Disease

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
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 ...

A NEW, OTHER THAN ACOUSTIC, QUANTIFICATION METHOD FOR ENDOCARDIUM DETECTION IN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC IMAGES

Image Analysis and Stereology, 2011
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

Strong as a Hippo’s Heart: Biomechanical Hippo Signaling During Zebrafish Cardiac Development

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The heart is comprised of multiple tissues that contribute to its physiological functions. During development, the growth of myocardium and endocardium is coupled and morphogenetic processes within these separate tissue layers are integrated.

Deep learning based fully automatic segmentation of the left ventricular endocardium and epicardium from cardiac cine MRI.

Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery, 2020
Background The segmentation of cardiac medical images is a crucial step for calculating clinical indices such as wall thickness, ventricular volume, and ejection fraction.

β-Lapachone induces heart morphogenetic and functional defects by promoting the death of erythrocytes and the endocardium in zebrafish embryos

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2011
Background β-Lapachone has antitumor and wound healing-promoting activities. To address the potential influences of various chemicals on heart development of zebrafish embryos, we previously treated zebrafish embryos with chemicals from a Sigma LOPAC1280™

Phase 1 repolarization rate defines Ca2+ dynamics and contractility on intact mouse hearts. [PDF]

, 2019
In the heart, Ca2+ influx through L-type Ca2+ channels triggers Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In most mammals, this influx occurs during the ventricular action potential (AP) plateau phase 2.

Some Structural and Chemical Changes in Endocardial Endothelium of Rats in Emotional and Pain Stress Complicated by Hypercholesterolemia

Galician Medical Journal, 2017
The objective of the research was to study the content of some neutral lipids of endocardial endothelium in rats in relation to structural changes occurring in it, in the co-existence of emotional and pain stress, as well as alimentary ...

Antagonistic Activities of Vegfr3/Flt4 and Notch1b Fine-tune Mechanosensitive Signaling during Zebrafish Cardiac Valvulogenesis

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: The formation of cardiac valves depends on mechanical forces exerted by blood flow. Endocardial cells lining the interior of the heart are sensitive to these stimuli and respond by rearranging into luminal cells subjected to shear stress and ...
