Pinocembrin Decreases Ventricular Fibrillation Susceptibility in a Rat Model of Depression
Background: Depression is associated with the increased risk of mortality and morbidity and is an independent risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases. Depression may promote cardiac arrhythmias, but little is known about the mechanisms.

Hypothermia and postconditioning after cardiopulmonary resuscitation reduce cardiac dysfunction by modulating inflammation, apoptosis and remodeling [PDF]
Background: Mild therapeutic hypothermia following cardiac arrest is neuroprotective, but its effect on myocardial dysfunction that is a critical issue following resuscitation is not clear.

HDAC-dependent ventricular remodeling [PDF]
Heart failure, a syndrome culminating the pathogenesis of many forms of heart disease, is highly prevalent and projected to be increasingly so for years to come. Major efforts are directed at identifying the means of preventing, slowing, or possibly reversing the unremitting progression of pathological stress leading to myocardial injury and ultimately
