Cardiac stem cells: A promising treatment option for heart failure. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in the world. The development of heart failure is mainly due to the loss of cardiomyocytes following myocardial infarction and the absence of endogenous myocardial repair.

Determinants of short-period heart rate variability in the general population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Decreased heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with a worse prognosis in a variety of diseases and disorders. We evaluated the determinants of short-period HRV in a random sample of 149 middle-aged men and 137 women from the general population ...

Sarcoid heart disease [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate Medical Journal, 2007
Abstract To this day the aetiology of sarcoidosis continues to elude definition. Partially as a consequence of this, little in the way of new therapies has evolved. The enigma of this condition is that, unusually for a disease with the potential for devastating consequences, many patients show spontaneous resolution and recover.

Brain MRI and EEG overemployment in patients with vasovagal syncope: results from a tertiary syncope unit

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background The diagnosis of vasovagal syncope (VVS) is mainly based on history-taking and physical examination. However, brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) are commonly used in the diagnostic course of VVS, despite not ...
