Acetate suppresses myocardial contraction via the short-chain fatty acid receptor GPR43 [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The heart has high energy requirements, with an estimated 40%–60% of myocardial ATP production derived from the oxidation of fatty acids under physiological conditions.

Speckle tracking echocardiography analyses of myocardial contraction efficiency predict response for cardiac resynchronization therapy [PDF]
Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2018 Background In patients with left ventricular (LV) dysssynchrony, contraction that doesn’t fall into ejection period (LVEj) results in a waste of energy due to inappropriate contraction timing, which was now widely treated by cardiac resynchronization ...

Left ventricle ejection fraction and strain derived by three-dimensional echocardiography are associated with exercise capacity in the patients with heart failure [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2019 Background/Aim. Echocardiography represents the most commonly performed noninvasive cardiac imaging tests for the patients with heart failure (HF). The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the exercise capacity parameters [peak oxygen

Association between aortic stenosis severity and contractile reserve measured by two-dimensional strain under low-dose dobutamine testing [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2013 Background/Aim. Early detection of left ventricle (LV) systolic dysfunction could be a clue for surgical treatment in patients with significant aortic stenosis (AS).

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research, 2022 Background Prolonged myocardial contraction and QT interval duration may be found in ischemic viable myocardium, yet it is unclear if noninvasive examination of regional nonhomogeneous myocardial mechanics and QT duration may detect patients with ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 Transverse-tubules (T-tubules) play pivotal roles in Ca2+-induced, Ca2+ release and excitation–contraction coupling in cardiomyocytes. The purpose of this study was to uncover mechanisms where sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) improved ...

Cell-free cryopreserved biological agents for cardiac protection in autoimmune myocarditis: A morphofunctional animal model study [PDF]
Scripta MedicaBackground/Aim: Autoimmune myocarditis (AIM) is a condition characterised by inflammation of the heart muscle, which can lead to heart failure. The development of effective treatments is crucial for improving cardiac function and recovery.
