Deformation parameters of hypertrophied left ventricular myocardium in arterial hypertension
Aim. To assess deformation characteristics of normal left ventricular (LV) myocardium and hypertrophied LV myocardium in arterial hypertension (AH) patients, using tissue Doppler examination of LV lateral wall and interventricular septum (IVS).Material ...

Genetic and clinical features of hemoglobin H disease in Chinese patients [PDF]
Background. Normally, one pair of each of the two α-globin genes, α1 and α2, resides on each copy of chromosome 16. In hemoglobin H disease, three of these four α-globin genes are affected by a deletion, a mutation, or both.

Nonlinear control of a hybrid pneumo‐hydraulic mock circuit of the cardiovascular system
Abstract Hybrid cardiovascular mock circuits (HMC), designed for dynamic testing of Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD), offer physiologic accuracy by sequestering model complexity in silico and ease of construction by reducing number of model elements in vitro.

Effects of human recombinant growth hormone on exercise capacity, cardiac structure, and cardiac function in patients with adult-onset growth hormone deficiency [PDF]
Objective Epidemiological studies suggest that adult-onset growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) might increase the risk of death from cardiovascular causes. Methods This was a 6-month double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, cross-over trial followed by

Regarding left ventricular longitudinal strain (GLS), it was found to decrease after hemodialysis compared with before. In terms of myocardial work, global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), and global wasted energy (GWE) all decreased post‐hemodialysis relative to pre‐dialysis levels, whereas global work efficiency (GWW) remained ...

Abstract Aims No curative treatment is available for RASopathy‐associated childhood‐onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (RAS‐CM). Preclinical data and individual reports suggest a beneficial effect of small molecules targeting the RAS–mitogen‐activated protein (MAP) kinase (MAPK) pathway in severely affected RAS‐CM patients.
