Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Subclinical Hypothyroidism [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1999
Although subclinical hypothyroidism is frequently diagnosed, the decision to institute a substitutive therapy with L-T4 remains controversial. Because the cardiovascular system is considered a main target for the action of thyroid hormone, we investigated whether subclinical hypothyroidism induces cardiovascular abnormalities. Twenty-six patients (mean

Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Reduced‐Intensity Conditioning Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Systemic Sclerosis With Impaired Cardiac Function

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective High‐intensity conditioning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is standard of care for patients with advanced systemic sclerosis (SSc). The role of reduced‐intensity conditioning (RIC) before AHSCT in this population remains unclear.
