Betulin Protects Against Cardiac Hypertrophy by Improving AMPK/Nrf2‐Dependent Mitochondrial Function

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Betulin effectively mitigates pressure overload‐induced cardiac hypertrophy in both Ang II‐infused and TAC‐operated mice. Mechanistically, betulin activated AMPK phosphorylation, promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation, and upregulated antioxidant genes (HO‐1 and NQO‐1), thereby restoring mitochondrial function in cardiomyocytes.

Ultrasonic Doppler measurement of renal artery blood flow [PDF]

open access: yes
Studies were made of (1) blood flow redistribution during lower body negative pressure (LBNP), (2) the profile of blood flow across the mitral annulus of the heart (both perpendicular and parallel to the commissures), (3) testing and evaluation of a ...

How to facilitate ultrasound examination of the fetal heart: the 5‐4‐3‐2‐1 method

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a new standardized, systematic method of fetal cardiac screening, the step‐by‐step ‘5‐4‐3‐2‐1’ method. This method is based on understanding the cardiac structures through a process of navigating between the different recommended views during an abdominothoracic sweep, following a user‐friendly checklist to identify the main ...

Exploratory Laparotomy After Routine Cardiac Surgery: Results From 17,000 Patients

open access: yesWorld Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Exploratory laparotomy is rare after open‐heart surgery, and it was performed for gastrointestinal complications that occurred in the context of other severe postoperative complications. Several factors were associated with the need for exlap, including increasing age, pre‐existing renal and vascular disease, and pre‐ and post‐operative shock. ABSTRACT

Myocardial Perfusion Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutation Carriers

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association, EarlyView., 2021
Background Impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) in the absence of epicardial coronary disease is a feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most evident in hypertrophied or scarred segments, reduced MBF can occur in apparently normal segments.

Time of day of cardiac surgery and postoperative outcomes in the UK: a secondary analysis of linked national datasets

open access: yesAnaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Uncertainty remains regarding whether the time of day that cardiac surgery is performed affects postoperative outcomes or if the observed variation can be explained by patient or surgical factors. Methods A secondary analysis of prospectively collected data was conducted to examine the association between time of cardiac surgery ...
