Role of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in the Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an important cardiovascular disease with sudden cardiac death as the most devastating presentation. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are the optimal therapy for prevention of sudden death from ventricular

Management of Cardiovascular Health Issues in Turner Syndrome: Expert Insights and Expanded Recommendations From the 2024 Guideline Development Team

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena

Rapid severe hypertension and organ damage in two‐kidney two‐clip rats produced by different sizes of clips

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Blood pressure increases immediately when the 2K2C rats (made with 0.3, 0.25, and 0.2 mm U‐shaped clips) regain consciousness from anesthesia. 100% of the rats develop hypertension on the day of 2K2C surgery. Blood pressure continues to rise, resulting in severe hypertension and organ damage to the brain, heart, aorta, and kidneys at 1, 2, 4, and 6 ...

Establishment and evaluation of a novel rat model of the fourth ventricle hemorrhage

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel rat model of fourth ventricle hemorrhage was established via autologous blood injection through the foramen of Magendie. Anesthetized rats were positioned in a stereotaxic apparatus with their heads tilted downward at an angle of approximately 20° relative to the vertical axis.

Cardiac Innervation and Sudden Cardiac Death [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2015
Afferent and efferent cardiac neurotransmission via the cardiac nerves intricately modulates nearly all physiological functions of the heart (chronotropy, dromotropy, lusitropy, and inotropy). Afferent information from the heart is transmitted to higher levels of the nervous system for processing (intrinsic cardiac nervous system, extracardiac ...
