Infections precipitating Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, an uncommon complication of a common infection

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2022
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a non-ischemic cardiomyopathy precipitated by stress. Various infections are reported to precipitate this form of cardiomyopathy. We report a patient presenting with TTC secondary to influenza.  In this article, we also

Expanding the Phenotype of TUFM‐Related Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency 4

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 4 (COXPD4) is a rare mitochondrial condition caused by biallelic deleterious variants in the nuclear‐encoded gene TUFM. To date, most individuals with COXPD4 have presented with encephalopathy, hypotonia, and abnormal brain imaging. Many of the reported individuals died in infancy. We aim to expand

Myocardial-alternation index (MMI) is correlated with soluble suppression of tumorigenecity-2 (sST2) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy

The Egyptian Heart Journal
Background Ischemic cardiomyopathy is a condition that represents myocardial dysfunction due to obstructive coronary artery disease. In ischemic cardiomyopathy, both structural and electrical remodeling occur.

Contrast-Enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Accurately Differentiates Ischemic from Non-Ischemic Etiologies in Newly Diagnosed Cardiomyopathy

Clinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2008
Objective Patients with newly diagnosed cardiomyopathy frequently undergo coronary angiography to exclude significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CE-CMR) can detect myocardial scar in-vivo, and has

Role of cardiac MRI in assessment of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2017
Purpose: To study additive role of CMR to echocardiography in assessment of dilated cardiomyopathy and if LGE-CMR myocardial enhancement pattern can differentiate between ischemic and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy compared to coronary ...

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

Overcoming the roadblocks to cardiac cell therapy using tissue engineering [PDF]

, 2017
Transplantations of various stem cells or their progeny have repeatedly improved cardiac performance in animal models of myocardial injury; however, the benefits observed in clinical trials have been generally less consistent.

TWEAK/Fn14 Signaling Drives Oxidative Cardiac Injury in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Evidence From Patient Biomarker Studies, Lupus Mouse Models, and Cardiomyocyte Assays

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement is a major cause of morbidity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Tumor necrosis factor–like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) is elevated in SLE, but its contribution to lupus‐associated cardiac injury is unclear. We investigated the role of TWEAK/fibroblast growth factor–inducible 14 (Fn14) signaling in SLE‐related ...
