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 ...

Low-energy shock wave for enhancing recruitment of endothelial progenitor cells: a new modality to increase efficacy of cell therapy in chronic hind limb ischemia [PDF]

, 2006
Background— Stem and progenitor cell therapy is a novel approach to improve neovascularization and function of ischemic tissue. Enhanced tissue expression of chemoattractant factors such as stromal cell–derived factor 1 and vascular endothelial growth ...

Continuous electrocardiogram monitoring in porcine model of myocardial ischemia reperfusion

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Wearable technology for continuous electrocardiogram monitoring can be utilized in porcine models of disease. Abstract As cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of global mortality, innovative animal models are vital to demonstrating the translational value of experimental discoveries. Investigations focused on myocardial remodeling after ischemia

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.

Application and Validation of the Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion/Systolic Pulmonary Artery Pressure Ratio in Patients with Ischemic and Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

Diagnostics, 2021
The main aim of this study was to assess the prognostic utility of TAPSE/PASP as an echocardiographic parameter of maladaptive RV remodeling in cardiomyopathy patients using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.

Cytokine pathways driving diverse tissue pathologies in rheumatoid arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex systemic disorder characterised primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease e.g. of the lung with potentially devastating clinical consequences.

Myocardial fibrosis in desmin-related hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2010
Desmin-related myopathy (DRM) is known to cause different types of cardiomyopathy. Late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been shown to identify fibrosis in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies.

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.
