Fetal Cardiac Troponin T as a Marker of Poor Prognosis in Nonimmune Hydrops Fetalis
(KARGER, 2009)
Objective: Severe fetal anemia and cardiac compromise are important causes of nonimmune hydrops fetalis, and fetal recovery also depends on the degree of fetal heart compromise. The aim of this study was to report the fetal ...
Saturated high-fat diet-induced obesity increases adenylate cyclase of myocardial -adrenergic system and does not compromise cardiac function
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-09-01)
Obesity is a worldwide pandemic associated with high incidence of cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms by which the obesity leads cardiac dysfunction are not fully elucidated and few studies have evaluated the relationship ...
Deactivating Cardiac Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in Terminally Ill Patients
(2009)
A 68-year-old patient who suffered from gastric cancer diagnosed 8 months earlier presented with multiple peritoneal and hepatic metastasis, despite several rounds of chemo- and radiotherapy. After admission to hospital, ...
Regulation of intracellular pH is altered in cardiac myocytes of ovariectomized rats
(American Heart Association, Inc, 2019-04-02)
Background-—It is well known that after menopause women are exposed to a greater cardiovascular risk, but the intracellular modifications are not properly described. The sodium/proton exchanger (NHE) and the sodium/bicarbonate ...
Obesity Resistance Promotes Mild Contractile Dysfunction Associated with Intracellular Ca2+ Handling
(Arquivos Brasileiros Cardiologia, 2015-12-01)
Background: Diet-induced obesity is frequently used to demonstrate cardiac dysfunction. However, some rats, like humans, are susceptible to developing an obesity phenotype, whereas others are resistant to that. Objective: ...
Diabetes impairs heart mitochondrial function without changes in resting cardiac performance
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-12)
Diabetes is a chronic disease associated to a cardiac contractile dysfunction that is not attributable to underlying coronaryartery disease or hypertension, and could be consequence of a progressive deterioration of ...
Effects of arterial oxygen tension and cardiac output on venous saturation: a mathematical modeling approach
(HOSPITAL CLINICAS, UNIV SAO PAULOSAO PAULO, 2012)
OBJECTIVES: Hemodynamic support is aimed at providing adequate O-2 delivery to the tissues; most interventions target O-2 delivery increase. Mixed venous O-2 saturation is a frequently used parameter to evaluate the adequacy ...
High rate of cardiac involvement in Colombian patients with Kawasaki Disease
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis, whose main complication is the coronary arteries involvement. This was a retrospective study in which 48 Colombian KD patients were included, and the rate and associated ...
