Management of Intracranial Hemorrhage in the Setting of Mechanical Heart Valve Replacement Therapy
The management of an intracranial hemorrhage in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy presents a significant challenge for medical professionals. Anticoagulant treatment is intended to prevent blood clotting, but it can worsen active brain bleeds ...

Mechanisms of CaMKII Activation in the Heart [PDF]
Calcium/calmodulin (Ca(2+)/CaM) dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) has emerged as a key nodal protein in the regulation of cardiac physiology and pathology. Due to the particularly elegant relationship between the structure and function of the kinase, CaMKII is able to translate a diverse set of signaling events into downstream physiological effects.

Modelling the cardiac response to a mechanical stimulation using a low-order model of the heart
Heart diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and a dysfunction of the cardiac electrical mechanisms is responsible for a significant portion of these deaths.

Changes in left ventricular electromechanical relations during targeted hypothermia
Background Targeted hypothermia, as used after cardiac arrest, increases electrical and mechanical systolic duration. Differences in duration of electrical and mechanical systole are correlated to ventricular arrhythmias.

The mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel mediates heart mechano-chemo transduction
The beating heart adapts cardiac output to changes in mechanical load via incompletely understood mechanotransduction mechanisms. Here the authors show that the mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel serves as a mechanotransducer for directly converting ...

Optimization of anticoagulant therapy in patients undergoing mechanical heart valve replacement
Acquired heart defects have a high prevalence among patients of different age groups and represent a significant social problem. To date, surgery remains the only effective option to treat acquired heart disease, and replacement of the dysfunctional ...
