Heart rate variability is associated with left ventricular systolic, diastolic function and incident heart failure in the general population

BMC Medicine, 2022
Background HRV has mostly shown associations with systolic dysfunction and more recently, with diastolic dysfunction in Heart failure (HF) patients. But the role of sympathetic nervous system in changes of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic ...

Gender differences in cardiac left ventricular mass and function: clinical and experimental observations [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate gender-associated impact on left ventricular mass (LVM) and on left ventricular function (LVF) in humans and rats with aging. Methods: Myocyte area and collagen volume fraction (CVF) were studied in rats.

Characterization of di‐gital, tri‐gital, and tetra‐gital temporal movement of systolic blood pressure on the arterial pulse waveform of rats at different vascular stiffness

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The example of the time dependent fluctuation of systolic pressure on rat arterial pulse waveform in ms. The four levels of the systolic pressure fluctuation show di‐gital, tri‐gital and tetra‐gital fluctuation. The red dots represent particular heartbeats. Abstract Background An arterial stiffness is an indicator of many cardiovascular diseases.

ZSF1 lean rats – How healthy are they?

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study aimed to examine the health status, specifically the physiology and myocardial, vascular, and skeletal muscle function of lean ZSF1 rats by comparing them to age‐ and sex‐matched Wistar rats. Compared to Wistar controls, ZSF1 lean rats exhibited lower body weight, but showed increased heart, and skeletal muscle mass.

Chronic high‐fat diet induces multi‐organ dysfunction and metabolic homeostasis disruption in Macaca fascicularis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
An 18‐month HFD successfully established a translational Macaca fascicularis model replicating key metabolic disorders (MASH, diabetes, cardiac hypertrophy). MASH was determined by liver biopsy histology, the presence steatosis, inflammatory infiltration, hepatocytic ballooning, and fibrosis were considered as MASH; diabetes was diagnosed according to ...

PECULIAR FEATURES IN STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL HEART VALUES IN PERSONS WITH VARIOUS LEVELS OF BLOOD PRESSURE

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2002
113 healthy subjects with normal blood pressure and 26 patients with essential hypertension (BP 140-159/90-99 mm Hg) were inspected by echocardiography. All subjects were divided into 5 groups according to the blood pressure (BP) level.

Establishment of a mouse model of TMAO‐induced cardiac injury and application of MICT intervention

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study aims to explore the establishment of an animal model of cardiac injury induced by trimethylamine‐N‐oxide (TMAO), a metabolite secreted by gut microorganisms, and to investigate its application in moderate‐intensity continuous training (MICT) intervention.
