Non‐invasive pressure–volume loop analysis in left ventricular load manipulation
Abstract Background Clinical monitoring of patients with heart failure or cardiomyopathy is facilitated by detailed assessment of cardiac loading conditions. Specifically, alterations in preload and afterload may unmask pathology through effects on ventricular pressure–volume (PV) relations. Therefore, the aim was to assess non‐invasive PV loops during

Impact of Left Bundle Branch Pacing on Left Ventricular Mechanical Efficiency
The analysis of myocardial work in 115 consecutive patients receiving left bundle branch area pacing revealed a strong correlation between all myocardial work indices recorded during spontaneous or paced rhythm. Conversely, no significant correlations were observed between myocardial work indices and the R wave peak time in V6 or the V6–V1 interpeak ...

ABSTRACT Cardiac glucose metabolism is critically involved in the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction. This study investigated whether Qiliqiangxin (QL), a traditional Chinese medicine, improves myocardial glucose uptake and aerobic oxidation after myocardial infarction (MI) and explored the underlying mechanisms.

The isolated working guinea pig heart: A functional and electrophysiological characterisation
Abstract Small animal isolated perfused hearts have been used for over 150 years for the study of cardiac physiology and pharmacology. The guinea pig heart represents the smallest mammalian heart that replicates key features of the human heart – for example, with respect to cardiac action potential duration, ion channel expression, excitation ...
