Percutaneous Revascularization for Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2022
BACKGROUND Whether revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can improve event-free survival and left ventricular function in patients with severe ischemic left ventricular systolic dysfunction, as compared with optimal medical ...

Thyroid hormone levels within reference range are associated with heart rate, cardiac structure, and function in middle-aged men and women [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Triiodothyronine (T3) has many effects on the heart, and marked changes in cardiac function and structure occur in patients with (subclinical) thyroid disease. We investigated whether between-subject variation in thyroid hormone levels within

BDNF contributes to the skeletal muscle anti-atrophic effect of exercise training through AMPK-PGC1α signaling in heart failure mice

open access: yesArchives of Medical Science, 2018
Introduction Exercise training is a coadjuvant therapy in preventive cardiology, and it delays cardiac dysfunction and exercise intolerance in heart failure (HF).

What role does the right side of the heart play in circulation? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is an underestimated problem in intensive care. This review explores the physiology and pathophysiology of right ventricular function and the pulmonary circulation.

The venous contribution to cardiovascular performance: From systemic veins to left ventricular function: A review [PDF]

open access: yesScripta Medica, 2021
The venous system contains ≈ 70 % of the total blood volume and is responsible in heart failure for key symptoms of congestion. It is active: it can increase or relax its tone with physiologic or pharmacologic stimuli.

Synergistic Model of Cardiac Function with a Heart Assist Device [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The breakdown of cardiac self-organization leads to heart diseases and failure, the number one cause of death worldwide. The left ventricular pressure–volume relation plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases.

Right Ventricular Function Improves Early After Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair in Patients Suffering From Severe Mitral Regurgitation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundPercutaneous mitral valve edge-to-edge procedure (PMVR) using the MitraClip® system (Abbot Vascular, CA) is an established therapy for severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients judged inoperable or at high surgical risk.

Interleukin-18 mediates cardiac dysfunction induced by western diet independent of obesity and hyperglycemia in the mouse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Obesity and diabetes are independent risk factors for heart failure and are associated with the consumption of diet rich in saturated fat and sugar, Western diet (WD), known to induce cardiac dysfunction in the mouse through incompletely characterized ...

Improved ventricular function during inhalation of PGI(2) aerosol partly relies on enhanced myocardial contractility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Inhaled prostacyclin (PGI(2)) aerosol induces selective pulmonary vasodilation. Further, it improves right ventricular ( RV) function, which may largely rely on pulmonary vasodilation, but also on enhanced myocardial contractility.

The tricuspid valve in hypoplastic left heart syndrome: Echocardiography provides insight into anatomy and function

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is commonly seen in surgically palliated patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and when significant, is associated with an increase in both morbidity and mortality.
