Multimodality Imaging Clues for Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is an entity that can be mistaken for several mimicking conditions, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These patients present with heart failure, which is essentially due to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, with ...

Non-invasive assessment by B-mode ultrasound of arterial pulse wave intensity and its modification during ventricular dysfunction [PDF]
Arterial pulse waves contain clinically useful information: their intensity varies with cardiac performance, their speed (pulse wave velocity; PWV) depends on arterial stiffness and their reflection is affected by conduit artery tone. Here we demonstrate a novel method for non-invasively assessing wave properties.

The effect of cardiac resynchronization on morbidity and mortality in heart failure [PDF]
Background: Cardiac resynchronization reduces symptoms and improves left ventricular function in many patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction and cardiac dyssynchrony.

This study investigates the role of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) in endothelial cells (ECs) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mice with endothelial‐specific PRMT1 deletion develop pulmonary hemorrhage, inflammation, and apoptosis, driven by excessive nuclear factor kappa B activation.

Prevalence, correlates, effects and detection of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in an urban population [PDF]
The prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) in most epidemiological studies has been determined by using clinical criteria.In this thesis, in contrast, left ventricular systolic function was assessed objectively by echocardiography in a cross ...
