Cardiac remodeling induced by 13-cis retinoic acid treatment in acne patients
(2013-02-10)
Background: Currently, 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-RA) is the most effective therapy for acne. Isotretinoin, a first-generation synthetic 13-cis-RA compound, is associated with numerous adverse effects. To investigate the ...
Cardiac remodeling induced by smoking: Concepts, relevance, and potential mechanisms
(2012-12-04)
Cardiac or ventricular remodeling is characterized by molecular, cellular, and interstitial alterations that lead to changes in heart size, mass, geometry and function in response to a given insult. Currently, tobacco smoke ...
Remodelação cardíaca induzida pelo tabagismo (tabaquismo)
(2007-12-01)
Previous studies accomplished by our group suggest that tobacco smoke exposure results in cardiac remodeling, with progressive ventricular dysfunction. However, the mechanisms involved in this process are not known. ...
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 ...
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. ...
Food restriction-induced myocardial dysfunction demonstrated by the combination of in vivo and in vitro studies
(2002-11-01)
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that protein-calorie undernutrition decreases myocardial contractility jeopardizing ventricular function, and that ventricular dysfunction can be detected noninvasively. ...
Relevãncia do padrão de remodelamento ventricular no modelo de infarto do miocárdio em ratos
(2010-10-01)
Background: The relevance of the remodeling pattern in the model of infarcted rats is not known. Objective: To analyze the presence of different patterns of remodeling in this model and its functional implications. Methods: ...
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. ...
Doppler echocardiography in athletes from different sports
(2013-03-12)
Background: Studies have shown cardiac changes induced by intense and regular physical activity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate cardiac structures and function in soccer players, cyclists and long-distance ...
