Statins and the Myocardium [PDF]
Seminars in Vascular Medicine, 2004 Cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, or statins, have been shown to inhibit cardiac hypertrophy and improve symptoms of heart failure by cholesterol-independent mechanisms. Statins block the isoprenylation and function of members of

Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]
, 2013 Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

Prognostic value of the myocardial salvage index measured by T2-weighted and T1-weighted late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A systematic review and meta-regression analysis [PDF]
, 2020 In all patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, risk stratification should be performed before discharge. The measurement of therapy efficiency with magnetic resonance imaging has been proposed as part of the risk assessment, but it has ...

Vojnosanitetski pregled, 2005 Background. Stunned myocardium is a state of delayed recovery of regional contractility after a transient period of ischemia followed by reperfusion. Case report. A 67-year-old patient was admitted to our hospital with acute anterior myocardial infarction, and treated using percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) within acute disease ...

Analysis of left ventricular behaviour in diastole by means of finite element method [PDF]
, 1979 The human left ventricle in diastole can be modelled as a passive structure with incremental internal pressure change being considered as the load. Recent developments in engineering stress analysis provide techniques for predicting the behaviour of ...
