Plication of the free wall of the left ventricle in dogs with doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy
(2005-02-01)
Objective - To evaluate plication of the free wall of the left ventricle, which reduces the left ventricular area and volume, as a method to improve the left ventricular systolic function without cardiopulmonary bypass. ...
Heart failure-induced skeletal myopathy in spontaneously hypertensive rats
(2013-08-10)
Background: Although skeletal muscle atrophy and changes in myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms have often been observed during heart failure, their pathophysiological mechanisms are not completely defined. In this study ...
Waist circumference, but not body mass index, is a predictor of ventricular remodeling after anterior myocardial infarction
(2013-01-01)
Objective: The impact of obesity on ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) is still poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of waist circumference (WC) and body mass ...
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy
(2012-10-25)
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is an important cause of heart failure as it is potentially reversible after ventricular rate control. A 66-year-old hypertensive woman presented with a 15-day history of tachycardia, ...
Improved systolic ventricular function with normal myocardial mechanics in compensated cardiac hypertrophy
(2002-12-01)
There still controversy about the relation between changes in myocardial contractile function and global left ventricular (LV) performance during stable concentric hypertrophy. To clarify this, we analyzed LV function in ...
Ventricular Systolic Reserve in Asymptomatic Children Previously Treated With Low Doses of Anthracyclines
(2007-10-15)
Doppler echocardiography has been used for the diagnosis of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. However, few data are available that include asymptomatic children previously treated with a low cumulative dose of this ...
Doxorubicin induced dilated cardiomyopathy in a rabbit model: An update
(2013-02-01)
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by chamber dilation and cardiac dysfunction. Because of the poor prognosis, models are needed for the investigation of and development of new therapeutic approaches, as well ...
Neurohormonal, hemodynamic, and electrocardiographic evaluations of healthy dogs receiving long-term administration of doxorubicin
(2006-08-01)
Objective - To evaluate diagnostic testing that could be used to establish an early diagnosis of cardiotoxicosis induced by long-term administration of doxorubicin. Animals - 13 adult mixed-breed dogs. Procedures - 7 dogs ...
Cardiomyopathy and cell therapy: ejection fraction improvement and cardiac muscle mass increasing, after a year of bone marrow stem cells transplantation, by magnetic resonance image
(2013)
The idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) is one of the major public health problems in the western world. Patients with IDC in functional class IV (New York Health Association - NYHA), even after therapeutic optimization, ...
Impact of the length of vitamin D deficiency on cardiac remodeling.
(2013-07-01)
This study was aimed to evaluate the influence of vitamin D (VD) deficiency on cardiac metabolism, morphology, and function. Thus, we investigated the relationship of these changes with the length of the nutrient restriction. ...
