Prevalence of scarred and dysfunctional myocardium in patients with heart failure of ischaemic origin: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) can provide unique data on the transmural extent of scar/viability. We assessed the prevalence of dysfunctional myocardium, including partial thickness scar, which

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP): Risk management of pediatric patients with epilepsy
Abstract Objective Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of death in people with epilepsy with an incidence of 1:1000. The primary risk factors for SUDEP are generalized or focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures. Preventive measures like nighttime monitoring devices and resuscitation training address modifiable risk factors.

Glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36) amide (GLP-1) is a human incretin hormone responsible for the release of insulin in response to food. Pre-clinical and human physiological studies have demonstrated cardioprotection from ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Are physiological oscillations physiological?
Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

Myocardial Viability: From Proof of Concept to Clinical Practice
Ischaemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction can arise from myocardial stunning, hibernation, or necrosis. Imaging modalities have become front-line methods in the assessment of viable myocardial tissue, with the aim to stratify patients into optimal ...

Myocardial stunning in the neonate
the normally oxygenated heart. 9 Myocardial stunning is caused by myocyte dysfunction. Generation of free radicals, resulting in damage to cellular proteins and phospholipids, and disruption of intracellular calcium homeostasis, are the two, non-mutually exclusive mechanismsesponsible forhisost- injury dysfunction.

SEIZURE-INDUCED MYOCARDIAL STUNNING
A transient LV dysfunction complicating subarachnoid hemorrhage, neurogenic myocardial stunning, has been well described. A similar dysfunction could complicate seizures, a much more prevalent condition, requiring early recognition to prevent complications.

Therapeutic role of nifedipine in threatened preterm labor: Current evidence and future perspectives
Abstract Preterm birth occurs in approximately 10% of all pregnancies, and is not only the leading cause of neonatal mortality but also a major contributor to short‐ and long‐term morbidities due to immaturity. Preterm birth has also been linked to an increased risk of maternal cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, making it a critical concern ...
