Estimation of elastic and viscous properties of the left ventricle based on annulus plane harmonic behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Assessment of left ventricular (LV) function with an emphasis on contractility has been a challenge in cardiac mechanics during the recent decades. The LV function is usually described by the LV pressurevolume (P-V) diagram. The standard P-V diagrams

The Novel ACTC1 p.Gly50Ser Variant Is Associated With Arrhythmia and Secondary Features of HCM Without Hypertrophy

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The key diagnostic criterion for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the presence of otherwise unexplained hypertrophy. Current definitions of HCM rely on specific thresholds to establish a diagnosis, while guideline directed risk stratification algorithms take its magnitude into consideration.

Differentiating the Clinical and Variant Spectrum of Hardikar Syndrome From Other MED12‐Related Developmental Disorders

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rare X‐linked female‐restricted Hardikar syndrome (HDKR, OMIM # 301068) is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies including orofacial clefts, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and cardiac anomalies, but cognitive and neurobehavioral development is rarely impaired.

Targeted Anti‐IL‐1 Immunomodulatory Therapy in Pediatric Onset PPP1R13L‐Related Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive loss‐of‐function variants in PPP1R13L cause an ultra‐rare cardiocutaneous syndrome characterized by rapidly progressive arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). PPP1R13L encodes iASPP, which has two potentially overlapping mechanisms driving ACM as both a regulator of NFκB‐mediated inflammation and a binding partner within the ...

Therapy for Myhre Syndrome: Goals, Misconceptions, and Current Agents

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre Syndrome (MYHRS, MIM #139210) is a rare, multisystem connective tissue disorder caused by recurrent heterozygous gain‐of‐function pathogenic variants in the SMAD4 gene, a key player in TGF‐β signaling and a regulator of extracellular matrix homeostasis.

Minor segmental wall motion abnormalities detected in patients with Chagas' disease have adverse prognostic implications

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2006
Recent data from our laboratory have shown that patients with the indeterminate form of Chagas' disease can have impairment of left ventricular contractility, as evaluated by the slope of the left ventricle end-systolic pressure-dimension relationship ...

Diagnostic Efficacy of Natriuretic Peptide: NT-ProBNP in Hemodialysis Patients with Left Ventricular Failure

open access: yesSüleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi
Objective: In the general population, plasma concentrations of natriuretic peptides such as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), are useful markers to predict left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction.
