New Imaging-Based Tools for the Assessment of Ventricular Function in Ischemic Heart Diseases
Ischemic heart disease morbidity and mortality are closely related to global and regional left ventricular function. The evaluation of left ventricular global function is a relevant part in the evolution of ischemic heart disease because it plays a ...

Relation of neurohumoral activation to clinical variables and degree of ventricular dysfunction: A report from the registry of studies of left ventricular dysfunction [PDF]
Objectives. This study examined the relation between neurohumoral activation and severity of left ventricular dysfunction and congestive heart failure in a broad group of patients with depressed left ventricular function who were not recruited on the ...

Results of coronary artery surgery in patients with poor left ventricular function (CASS).
We identified 420 medically treated and 231 surgically treated patients (coronary graft plus myocardial surgery in 30%) who had severe left ventricular dysfunction manifest by an ejection fraction below 0.36 and markedly abnormal wall motion.

Bilirubin Targeting WNK1 to Alleviate NLRP3‐Mediated Neuroinflammation
At physiological concentrations, bilirubin binds to the kinase domain of WNK1, thereby augmenting its activity and facilitating the phosphorylation of downstream SPAK/OSR1. This phosphorylation inhibits KCC2 activity, leading to elevate intracellular chloride levels in neurons.

Injectable pH responsive conductive hydrogel for intelligent delivery of metformin and exosomes to alleviate myocardial ischemia‐reperfusion injury. The hydrogel responds to the weakly acidic microenvironment of ischemic injury and can significantly reduce the production of intracellular ROS and enhance cardiac conduction, thereby resisting apoptosis ...

On in-silico estimation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure from cardiac strains [PDF]
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is a group of diseases that adversely affect the passive phase of the cardiac cycle and can lead to heart failure. While left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) is a valuable prognostic measure in LVDD patients, traditional invasive methods of measuring LVEDP present risks and limitations ...

This study investigates the role of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) in endothelial cells (ECs) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mice with endothelial‐specific PRMT1 deletion develop pulmonary hemorrhage, inflammation, and apoptosis, driven by excessive nuclear factor kappa B activation.

Effect of prolonged space flight on cardiac function and dimensions [PDF]
Echocardiographic studies were performed preflight 5 days before launch and on recovery day and 1, 2, 4, 11, 31 and 68 days postflight. From these echocardiograms measurements were made.
