A Comparison of Patient History- and EKG-based Cardiac Risk Scores. [PDF]
Patient-specific risk scores are used to identify individuals at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. Typically, risk scores are based on patient habits and medical history - age, sex, race, smoking behavior, and prior vital signs and diagnoses.

A Review of Neurogenic Stunned Myocardium. [PDF]
Neurologic stunned myocardium (NSM) is a phenomenon where neurologic events give rise to cardiac abnormalities. Neurologic events like stroke and seizures cause sympathetic storm and autonomic dysregulation that result in myocardial injury.

The key events in regulating cardiac muscle contraction involve Ca2+ binding to and release from cTnC (troponin C) and structural changes in cTnC and other thin filament proteins triggered by Ca2+ movement.

Plasma Cardiac Troponin I Concentration and Cardiac Death in Cats with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The use of cardiac biomarkers to assist in the diagnosis of occult and symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats has been established. There is limited data describing their prognostic utility in cats with HCM.

Several extremal problems on graphs involving the circumference, girth, and hyperbolicity constant [PDF]
To compute the hyperbolicity constant is an almost intractable problem, thus it is natural to try to bound it in terms of some parameters of the graph. Let $\mathcal{G}(g,c,n)$ be the set of graphs $G$ with girth $g(G)=g$, circumference $c(G)=c$, and $n$ vertices; and let $\mathcal{H}(g,c,m)$ be the set of graphs with girth $g$, circumference $c$, and $

Ca(2+) exchange with troponin C and cardiac muscle dynamics.
Controversy abounds in the cardiac muscle literature over the rate-limiting steps of cardiac muscle contraction and relaxation. However, the idea of a single biochemical mechanism being the all-inclusive rate-limiting step for cardiac muscle contraction ...

The abc-conjecture is true for at least $N(c), 1 \leq N(c) <φ(c)/2$, partitions a, b of c [PDF]
We prove that for any positive integer c there are at least N(c), $1\leq N(c) < \phi(c)/2$ representations of c as a sum of two positive integers a, b, with no common divisor, such that the N(c) radicals R(abc) are all greater than kc, where k an absolute constant.
