Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm perceived as a left lung mass
Polish Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2016 Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of aneurysmectomy. We present a case of a surgically treated left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, which was diagnosed three years after coronary artery bypass grafting and left ventricular aneurysmectomy. The presenting symptoms, diagnostic evaluation, and surgical repair are described.

Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment affect cell responses in 2D and 3D systems. Strategies for integrating fibrous cues into engineered tissues are highlighted, and future directions for ...

Greater body mass index is a better predictor of subclinical cardiac damage at long-term follow-up in men than is insulin sensitivity:a prospective, population-based cohort study [PDF]
, 2015 To examine whether lower insulin sensitivity as determined by homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-%S) was associated with increased left ventricular mass (LVM) and presence of LV diastolic dysfunction at long-term follow-up, independently of body mass ...

Measurement of left ventricular mass
Journal of Hypertension, 1997 The strong relation between increased left ventricular mass and cardiovascular events makes accurate measurement of left ventricular mass a high priority, especially in patients with hypertension. M-mode echocardiography is used most widely to measure left ventricular mass because of its wide availability, moderate expense, anatomic and prognostic ...
