Force-based left ventricular contractile reserve predicts outcome in patients with exercise stress echocardiography without regional wall motion abnormalities [PDF]
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Private company. Main funding source(s): Investigaciones Médicas, Cardiodiagnostic Introduction. The behavior of the ejection fraction (EF) during exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) is used to measure the left ventricular

Relationship between myocardial metabolites and contractile abnormalities during graded regional ischemia. Phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance studies of porcine myocardium in vivo. [PDF]
The mechanisms responsible for changes in myocardial contractility during regional ischemia are unknown. Since changes in high-energy phosphates during ischemia are sensitive to reductions in myocardial blood flow, it was hypothesized that myocardial function under steady-state conditions of graded regional ischemia is closely related to changes in ...

Coronary Artery Disease and Intradialytic Myocardial Ischemia in Hemodialysis: An Exploratory Study Using Intradialytic Imaging [PDF]
Rationale & Objective: Recurrent segmental myocardial ischemia (myocardial stunning) is a well-recognized consequence of hemodialysis leading to fixed contractile deficits and increased morbidity and cardiac mortality.

Introduction: Seismocardiography (SCG) records cardiac and blood-induced motions transmitted to the chest surface as vibratory phenomena. Evidences demonstrate that acute myocardial ischemia (AMI) profoundly affects the SCG signals.

Blunting of Colon Contractions in Diabetics with Gastroparesis Quantified by Wireless Motility Capsule Methods. [PDF]
Generalized gut transit abnormalities are observed in some diabetics with gastroparesis. Relations of gastric emptying abnormalities to colon contractile dysfunction are poorly characterized.

Aerobic Training in Patients with Congenital Myopathy. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION:Congenital myopathies (CM) often affect contractile proteins of the sarcomere, which could render patients susceptible to exercise-induced muscle damage. We investigated if exercise is safe and beneficial in patients with CM.

Induction of PGC-1α expression can be detected in blood samples of patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. [PDF]
Following acute myocardial infarction (MI), cardiomyocyte survival depends on its mitochondrial oxidative capacity. Cell death is normally followed by activation of the immune system.

The new clinical standard of integrated quadruple stress echocardiography with ABCD protocol
Background The detection of regional wall motion abnormalities is the cornerstone of stress echocardiography. Today, stress echo shows increasing trends of utilization due to growing concerns for radiation risk, higher cost and stronger environmental ...
