Can the 12-Lead Electrocardiogram Predict Myocardial Viability? [PDF]
Introduction: In patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction, the assessment of myocardial viability, prior to revascularisation has been shown to be of significant benefit.

Tracers for Cardiac Imaging: Targeting the Future of Viable Myocardium
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. In this context, myocardial viability is defined as the amount of myocardium that, despite contractile dysfunction, maintains metabolic and electrical function, having the potential for ...

Heat Shock Protein 70 Protects the Heart from Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury through Inhibition of p38 MAPK Signaling. [PDF]
BackgroundHeat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) has been shown to exert cardioprotection. Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) overload induced by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) activation contributes to cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury ...
