Decreased soluble guanylate cyclase contributes to cardiac dysfunction induced by chronic doxorubicin treatment in mice [PDF]
Aims: The use of doxorubicin, a potent chemotherapeutic agent, is limited by cardiotoxicity. We tested the hypothesis that decreased soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) enzyme activity contributes to the development of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity ...

Reversible ventricular dysfunction in cyanotic heart disease
Ventricular dysfunction is a matter of concern for any preoperative cardiac patient. We describe 2 cases of cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) awaiting on pump repair with hypoxia as a cause of ventricular dysfunction. Any Cyanotic Congenital heart
