Material property alterations for phenotypes of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: A numerical study of subject-specific porcine models

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
A substantial proportion of heart failure patients have a preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (HFpEF). This condition carries a high burden of morbidity and mortality and has limited therapeutic options.

Cardiac monitoring during trastuzumab therapy in metastatic breast cancer: early incidence of cardiac dysfunction

open access: yesMonaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2022
Trastuzumab therapy has dramatically changed breast cancer prognosis. Consensus documents recommend a close monitoring during therapy, not always feasible, especially in metastatic breast cancer.

The Space Within: How Architected Voids Promote Tissue Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores the role of void spaces in tissue engineering scaffolds and examines four key methods for introducing porosity into hydrogels at different scales. It discusses sacrificial templating, microgels, phase separation, and 3D printing, highlighting principles, advantages, and limitations. It also addresses emerging strategies integrating

Hypertensive heart disease: Benefit of carvedilol in hemodynamic, left ventricular remodeling, and survival

open access: yesSAGE Open Medicine, 2019
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine if carvedilol improved structural and functional changes in the left ventricle and reduced mortality in patients with hypertensive heart disease.

Targeting Adipose Tissue Function Protects Against Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the role adipose tissue (AT) phenotypes have in determining cardiovascular outcomes in an obesity‐related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) model. Pharmacological induction of thermogenesis promoted resilience to HFpEF‐induced remodeling of AT and conferred cardioprotection. Surgical and genetic models confirmed

Case of Acute Graft Failure during Suspected Humoral Rejection with Preserved Ejection Fraction, but Severely Reduced Longitudinal Deformation Detected by 2D-Speckle Tracking

open access: yesCase Reports in Transplantation, 2014
This case displays limited utility of left ventricular ejection fraction to detect acute graft failure due to microvascular vasculopathy and suspected humoral rejection.

Does quantitative left ventricular regional wall motion change after fibrous tissue resection in endomyocardial fibrosis?

open access: yesClinics, 2009
OBJECTIVES: We compared left ventricular regional wall motion, the global left ventricular ejection fraction, and the New York Heart Association functional class pre- and postoperatively.

Inactivation of AXL in Cardiac Fibroblasts Alleviates Right Ventricular Remodeling in Pulmonary Hypertension

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive condition with high morbidity and mortality, largely owing to right ventricular (RV) failure resulting from maladaptive remodeling. Our study provides strong evidence in support of a critical, detrimental role for AXL as a previously unrecognized determinant driving RV fibrotic pathology in PH.
