Immune mechanisms in heart failure [PDF]
European Journal of Heart Failure, 2017 Elevated levels of circulating pro‐inflammatory biomarkers in patients with both ischaemic and non‐ischaemic heart failure (HF) correlate with disease severity and prognosis. Experimental studies have shown activation of immune response mechanisms in the heart to provoke cardiac adverse remodelling and cause left ventricular dysfunction.

Modelling the cardiac response to a mechanical stimulation using a low-order model of the heart
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2021 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.

Metabolic Mechanisms in Heart Failure [PDF]
Circulation, 2007 Although neurohumoral antagonism has successfully reduced heart failure morbidity and mortality, the residual disability and death rate remains unacceptably high. Though abnormalities of myocardial metabolism are associated with heart failure, recent data suggest that heart failure may itself promote metabolic changes such as insulin resistance, in ...

Management of Intracranial Hemorrhage in the Setting of Mechanical Heart Valve Replacement Therapy
Applied Mechanics, 2023 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 ...

The mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel mediates heart mechano-chemo transduction
Nature Communications, 2021 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 ...
