Ranolazine Attenuates Trastuzumab-Induced Heart Dysfunction by Modulating ROS Production [PDF]
The ErbB2 blocker trastuzumab improves survival in oncologic patients, but can cause cardiotoxicity. The late Na+ current inhibitor ranolazine has been shown to counter experimental HF, including doxorubicin cardiotoxicity (a condition characterized by ...

Cardiac magnetic resonance findings predict increased resource utilization in elective coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
Morbidity following CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) is difficult to predict and leads to increased healthcare costs. We hypothesized that pre-operative CMR (cardiac magnetic resonance) findings would predict resource utilization in elective CABG ...

Head to head comparison of 2D vs real time 3D dipyridamole stress echocardiography
Real-time three-dimensional (RT-3D) echocardiography has entered the clinical practice but true incremental value over standard two-dimensional echocardiography (2D) remains uncertain when applied to stress echo.
