In this paper we thought to investigate clinical value of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in predicting left ventricular (LV) myocardial remodeling in patients having Q-wave myocardial infarction (Q-wave MI).

Rabbit models of heart disease. [PDF]
Human heart disease is a major cause of death and disability. A variety of animal models of cardiac disease have been developed to better understand the etiology, cellular and molecular mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction and novel therapeutic strategies ...

Gender differences in cardiac left ventricular mass and function: clinical and experimental observations [PDF]
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate gender-associated impact on left ventricular mass (LVM) and on left ventricular function (LVF) in humans and rats with aging. Methods: Myocyte area and collagen volume fraction (CVF) were studied in rats.

Hepatocyte growth factor gene therapy reduces ventricular arrhythmia in animal models of myocardial ischemia. [PDF]
It was recently reported that gene therapy using hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has the potential to preserve cardiac function after myocardial ischemia. We speculated that this HGF gene therapy could also prevent ventricular arrhythmia.

Atrial cellular electrophysiological changes in patients with ventricular dysfunction may predispose to AF [PDF]
<b>Background:</b> Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the atrial cellular electrophysiological mechanisms in humans are unclear.

Cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure: from the case to review of literature [PDF]
In response to an increased workload due to physiological or pathological stimuli, the heart may undergo a process of growth with increased muscle mass called cardiac hypertrophy. It is a particular mechanism of long term compensation used by the heart

Pathophysiological Basis of Right Ventricular Remodeling
The pathophysiology of right ventricular (RV) remodeling is a complex process and may include unique elements not observed in left ventricular (LV) remodeling. The RV also has a relatively irregular geometry not accounted for in LV analyses. RV remodeling includes basic changes in geometry, wall thickness, and ventricular pressure-volume relationships.
