Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Ischemic threshold and myocardial stunning in the aging heart. [PDF]
The aging heart appears to be more susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury than the adult heart. There is no evidence of an age-related difference in the threshold of myocardial ischemia and myocardial stunning.

Stress Cardiomyopathy Managed with Extracorporeal Support after Self-Injection of Epinephrine
A 28-year-old man was admitted to the ICU for self-injection of Epinephrine. This injection resulted in the rapid development of a catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy (inverted Takotsubo) with a severe cardiogenic shock.

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York
Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...

Table2_Ischemic preconditioning affects phosphosites and accentuates myocardial stunning while reducing infarction size in rats.docx [PDF]
Background and aimsIschemic preconditioning (IPC), i.e., brief periods of ischemia, protect the heart from subsequent prolonged ischemic injury, and reduces infarction size. Myocardial stunning refers to transient loss of contractility in the heart after

‘Broken heart’ in acute-on-chronic liver failure
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy usually occurs as a result of catecholamine release causing myocardial ‘stunning’ during physical or emotional stress. Typically coronary angiogram shows normal or minor coronary artery disease and echocardiogram shows apical ...

Interventional therapies for chronic heart failure: An overview of recent developments
Abstract Heart failure (HF), the final manifestation of most cardiovascular diseases, has become a major global health concern, affecting millions of individuals. Despite basic drug treatments, patients present with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, recent advancements in interventional therapy have shown promising results in improving the ...

Nitric oxide donors attenuate myocardial stunning in conscious rabbits [PDF]
Although previous studies suggested that the protection of late preconditioning (PC) against myocardial stunning is mediated by nitric oxide (NO), direct evidence that exogenous administration of NO attenuates myocardial stunning is lacking. Furthermore,
