Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2010 The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been used as a model for studying vertebrate development in the cardiovascular system. In order to monitor heart contraction and cytosolic calcium oscillations, fish were either embedded in methylcellulose or anesthetized

The meaning of different forms of structural myocardial injury, immune response and timing of infarct necrosis and cardiac repair [PDF]
, 2015 Although a decline in the all-cause and cardiac mortality rates following myocardial infarction (MI) during the past 3 decades has been reported, MI is a major cause of death and disability worldwide.

Effects of Rosuvastatin and Pitavastatin on Ischemia-Induced Myocardial Stunning in Dogs
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008 Incomplete recovery of myocardial contraction after reperfusion following brief ischemia is called the “stunning phenomenon” in an animal experiment.

International Journal of Gerontology, 2016 Myocardial bridge is defined as the intramyocardial course of a segment of a coronary artery. Digoxin increases the force of myocardial contraction, which augments the compression of the vessel.

Human cardiomyocyte calcium handling and transverse tubules in mid-stage of post-myocardial-infarction heart failure [PDF]
, 2018 Aims: Cellular processes in the heart rely mainly on studies from experimental animal models or explanted hearts from patients with terminal end-stage heart failure (HF).

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006 Background The index of myocardial performance has prognostic power in patients with cardiomyopathy and following myocardial infarction. As the index of myocardial performance has been shown to be preload and afterload dependent, the effect of altering ...

Mechanisms of the “No-Reflow” Phenomenon After Acute Myocardial Infarction
JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2023 Summary: Pericytes contract during myocardial ischemia resulting in capillary constriction and no reflow. Reversing pericyte contraction pharmacologically reduces no reflow and infarct size. These findings open up an entire new venue of research aimed at

Will the real ventricular architecture please stand up? [PDF]
, 2017 Ventricular twisting, essential for cardiac function, is attributed to the contraction of myocardial helical fibers. The exact relationship between ventricular anatomy and function remains to be determined, but one commonly used explanatory model is the ...

Lipofundin® MCT/LCT 20% increase left ventricular systolic pressure in an rat heart model via increase of intracellular calcium level [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2016 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.

Left ventricular force-velocity relations measured from quick volume changes [PDF]
, 1979 Left ventricles of rabbit hearts were subjected to series of quick volume releases (QVR) — taking placw within 6 ms — applied at fixed times in the cardiac cycle. The hearts were paced artificially and allowed to contract isovolumically. The QVR was used
