Myocardial strain in healthy adults across a broad age range as revealed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 1.5 and 3.0T: associations of myocardial strain with myocardial region, age, and sex [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose: We assessed myocardial strain using cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) using 1.5T and 3.0T MRI in healthy adults. Materials and Methods: Healthy adults without any history of cardiovascular disease underwent MRI at 1.5T ...

Decreased soluble guanylate cyclase contributes to cardiac dysfunction induced by chronic doxorubicin treatment in mice [PDF]

, 2017
Aims: The use of doxorubicin, a potent chemotherapeutic agent, is limited by cardiotoxicity. We tested the hypothesis that decreased soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) enzyme activity contributes to the development of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity ...

Histone deacetylase adaptation in single ventricle heart disease and a young animal model of right ventricular hypertrophy. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundHistone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are promising therapeutics for various forms of cardiac diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess cardiac HDAC catalytic activity and expression in children with single ventricle (SV) heart disease ...

Allosteric modulation of beta1 integrin function induces lung repair in animal model of emphysema. [PDF]

, 2007
Emphysema is a progressive lung disease characterised by loss of lung parenchyma with associated functional changes including decreased tissue elastance. Here we report beta1 integrin is a novel target for tissue repair and regeneration in emphysema.

Evaluation of the histological parameters in usual interstitial pneumonia (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) [PDF]

, 2000
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis) is a progressive interstitial pulmonary disease of unknown etiology. Since Hamman's and Rich's (1944) reports, many studies have tried to find a histological marker for the correlation ...

Angiopoietin-2 predicts morbidity in adults with Fontan physiology. [PDF]

, 2019
Morbidity in patients with single-ventricle Fontan circulation is common and includes arrhythmias, edema, and pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) among others. We sought to identify biomarkers that may predict such complications.

Changes in left atrial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Evaluation by vector velocity imaging. [PDF]

, 2012
OBJECTIVES: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents a generalized myopathic process affecting both ventricular and atrial myocardium. We assessed the global and regional left atrial (LA) function and its relation to left ventricular (LV) mechanics ...
