Impaired Distensibility of the Proximal Aorta in Fetuses With Tetralogy of Fallot

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Increased aortic wall stiffness, which even persists after repair, has been reported in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). We aimed to observe the distensibility of the ascending aorta and descending aorta in fetuses with TOF and explore

Platelet kinetics in the pulmonary microcirculation in vivo assessed by intravital microscopy [PDF]

, 2002
Growing evidence supports the substantial pathophysiological impact of platelets on the development of acute lung injury. Methods for studying these cellular mechanisms in vivo are not present yet.

Pulmonary Blood Volume in Experimental Unilateral Pulmonary-Artery Occlusion [PDF]

Circulation Research, 1961
In a series of 11 dogs in which the left pulmonary artery was ligated, the blood from the occluded lung was absorbed by the remainder of the vascular bed and, consequently, there was no significant alteration in the pulmonary blood volume. This adaptation took place, apparently, with only slight modifications in the circulation time and the pressure of

Improved ventricular function during inhalation of PGI(2) aerosol partly relies on enhanced myocardial contractility [PDF]

, 2005
Inhaled prostacyclin (PGI(2)) aerosol induces selective pulmonary vasodilation. Further, it improves right ventricular ( RV) function, which may largely rely on pulmonary vasodilation, but also on enhanced myocardial contractility.

miRNA Signatures in Sera of Patients with Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis. [PDF]

, 2013
Several studies showed that assessing levels of specific circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) is a non-invasive, rapid, and accurate method for diagnosing diseases or detecting alterations in physiological conditions.

Reproducibility of pulmonary blood flow measurements by phase-contrast MRI using different 1.5 T MR scanners at two institutions [PDF]

Acta Radiologica Open, 2017
Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be beneficial for diagnosis of disease by offering quantitative information. However, reproducibility can be a major problem when there is a numerical threshold in multi-institution, multi-vendor situations.

Double-Stranded RNA Attenuates the Barrier Function of Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells [PDF]

, 2013
Circulating RNA may result from excessive cell damage or acute viral infection and can interact with vascular endothelial cells. Despite the obvious clinical implications associated with the presence of circulating RNA, its pathological effects on ...
