Therapeutic hypothermia and neurological outcome after cardiac arrest [PDF]
Introduction/Aim. The most important clinically relevant cause of global cerebral ischemia is cardiac arrest. Clinical studies showed a marked neuroprotective effect of mild hypothermia in resuscitation.

Alternative Splicing of Pericentrin Contributes to Cell Cycle Control in Cardiomyocytes
Induction of cardiomyocyte proliferation is a promising option to regenerate the heart. Thus, it is important to elucidate mechanisms that contribute to the cell cycle arrest of mammalian cardiomyocytes.

Targeted Temperature Management at 36°C after In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Trial (TTM-36 IHCA Trial): Study Protocol for an Investigator-Initiated, Single-Center, Randomized, Controlled, Assessor-Blinded, Pilot Clinical Trial [PDF]
Background: Targeted temperature management (TTM) has neuroprotective effects in comatose patients despite restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Mechanical unloading reverses transverse tubule remodelling and normalizes local Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release in a rodent model of heart failure [PDF]
Aims Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) is critical for contraction in cardiomyocytes. The transverse (t)-tubule system guarantees the proximity of the triggers for Ca2+ release [L-type Ca2+ channel, dihydropyridine receptors (DHPRs)] and the sarcoplasmic ...

The multi-modality cardiac imaging approach to the Athlete's heart: an expert consensus of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging [PDF]
peer reviewedThe term 'athlete's heart' refers to a clinical picture characterized by a slow heart rate and enlargement of the heart. A multi-modality imaging approach to the athlete's heart aims to differentiate physiological changes due to intensive ...
