Non-invasive imaging in detecting myocardial viability: Myocardial function versus perfusion
International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2014 Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most prevalent and single most common cause of morbidity and mortality [1] with the resulting left ventricular (LV) dysfunction an important complication.

Right ventricular dysfunction after resuscitation predicts poor outcomes in cardiac arrest patients independent of left ventricular function. [PDF]
, 2015 OBJECTIVE: Determination of clinical outcomes following resuscitation from cardiac arrest remains elusive in the immediate post-arrest period. Echocardiographic assessment shortly after resuscitation has largely focused on left ventricular (LV) function.

Endothelial Dysfunction and Vascular Preconditioning
Journal of Biological Research, 2003 The prolonged occlusion of a coronary artery followed by reperfusion causes deleterious effects known as “ischemiareperfusion injuries”. In fact, these injuries,which affect both myocardium and coronary endothelium, initiate during ischemia and worsen ...

Contrast echocardiography in the diagnosis of myocardial stunning [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 1999 AbstractThe identification of viable myocardium within dysfunctional myocardium has important clinical implications. By using a microvascular tracer, myocardial contrast echocardiography may have the potential for prediction of myocardial viability in the acute and subacute phases of myocardial infarction.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Translational studies to understand myocardial stunning in acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
Myocardial stunning is a reversible contractile dysfunction that persists despite the resolution of myocardial ischemia. It is commonly associated with acute myocardial infarction. However, myocardial stunning also occurs in other acute cardiomyopathies,

Pre-Treatment With Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Protects Against Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Stunning Without a Detected Difference in Myocardial Substrate Utilization [PDF]
, 2015 ObjectivesThis study sought to determine whether pre-treatment with intravenous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)(7-36) amide could alter myocardial glucose use and protect the heart against ischemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction during percutaneous ...
