Endothelins and myocardial fibrosis

Journal of Cardiac Failure, 2003
Endothelins are associated with cardiac remodeling. These peptides are the most powerful vasoconstrictor described-whether this remodeling is a direct effect of this hormone or indirect response to a relative ischemia promoted by vasoconstrictor effect.

Biomarkers of Myocardial Fibrosis

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2011
Increased cardiac collagen deposition is observed in almost every cardiac disease and plays an important role in the deteriorating function of the diseased heart. Propeptides of procollagen types I and III, the 2 major collagen types in the heart, can be detected in circulation.

MYOCARDIAL FIBROSIS IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS OF THE PANCREAS

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1970
SYNOPSIS A series of 6 cases of cystic fibrosis of the pancreas complicated by myocardial fibrosis is presented. This complication has been reported on only 2 occasions in the English literature. In the Dunedin hospital, which serves a population of less than 250,000, 5 cases have been found at necropsy since 1948.

Gut microbiota and myocardial fibrosis

European Journal of Pharmacology, 2023
Myocardial fibrosis (MF) is a pathophysiological condition that accompanies various myocardial diseases and comprises a damaged myocardial matrix repair process. Although fibrosis plays a vital role in repair, it ultimately alters cardiac systolic and diastolic functions.

Myocardial fibrosis in infancy

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1950
Summary A case of myocardial fibrosis in infancy is presented, together with a report of the literature. The possibility that myocardial infection with concomitant damage may have taken place during pregnancy is postulated, and it is suggested that there may be some relationship between our findings and a history of fairly recent rheumatic fever in ...

Myocardial mechanics in allylamine-induced myocardial fibrosis

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1986
To examine the effect of fibrosis on myocardial mechanics, we studied isolated left ventricular papillary muscles from 18 rats given 0.1% allylamine, an agent known to cause myocardial fibrosis, in drinking water for 4-8 wk. Six control rats were given tap water. Left ventricular hydroxyproline concentration was higher in the allylamine-treated group [

Chemotherapy induced myocardial fibrosis

Clinical Oncology, 1994
Alkylating agents have a well established role in the treatment of malignant disease, with well documented side effects. This case history, however, illustrates the susceptibility to these agents shown by some patients. It is suggested that, when drug induced pneumonitis is noted, careful screening of left ventricular function should be performed in ...

Targeting Hypertensive Myocardial Fibrosis

High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2005
In normal myocardium, myocytes represent only one-third of all cells, with the remaining two-thirds including fibroblasts and small cellular populations. While several weeks post partum the myocyte count stops increasing, the connective tissue cell count does not. In the early phases of arterial hypertension, adaptive left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (

Myocardial Fibrosis in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2005
Rev Esp Cardiol. 2005;58(5):585-6 585 A 20-year-old man was referred to our myocardial disease unit for family screening. His father presented obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and had an automatic defibrillator implanted for sustained ventricular tachycardia. His brother had died of sudden death at the age of 12.

Thiouracil-induced myocardial fibrosis

Pathology - Research and Practice, 1978
Rabbits were fed with thiouracil for 8 months. Subsequently their hearts were examined electron microscopically as well as biochemically for collagen and hexosamine content. Chronic treatment with thiouracil induced an increase in interstitial connective tissue collagen and hexosamine without visible necrosis.
