Lipofundin® MCT/LCT 20% increase left ventricular systolic pressure in an rat heart model via increase of intracellular calcium level [PDF]
BackgroundLipid emulsions have been used to treat various drug toxicities and for total parenteral nutrition therapy. Their usefulness has also been confirmed in patients with local anesthetic-induced cardiac toxicity.

Cell-free cryopreserved biological agents for cardiac protection in autoimmune myocarditis: A morphofunctional animal model study [PDF]
Background/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.

Ectopy on a single 12‐lead ECG, incident cardiac myopathy, and death in the community [PDF]
BackgroundAtrial fibrillation and heart failure are 2 of the most common diseases, yet ready means to identify individuals at risk are lacking. The 12-lead ECG is one of the most accessible tests in medicine.

Effects of Rosuvastatin and Pitavastatin on Ischemia-Induced Myocardial Stunning in Dogs
Incomplete recovery of myocardial contraction after reperfusion following brief ischemia is called the “stunning phenomenon” in an animal experiment.

Effect of propranolol on regional myocardial function in anesthetized open-chest dogs with myocardial ischemia [PDF]
Effects of propranolol on ischemic segmental function were studied in anesthetized open-chest dogs. Two segment-length gauges were used for measuring the regional myocardial function: one was sutured on to the left ventricular surface perfused by the ...

Assessment of Left Atrial Deformation and Function by 2-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Healthy Dogs and Dogs With Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease [PDF]
open7noBackground: The assessment of left atrial (LA) function by 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) holds important clinical implications in human medicine. Few similar data are available in dogs.
