Influence of fluid volume variations on the calculated value of the left ventricular mass measured by echocardiogram in patients submitted to hemodialysis
(Marcel Dekker Inc, 2003-01-01)
The left ventricular mass (LVM) measurement is of major importance for renal patients, as ventricular hypertrophy is an important prognostic index. The echo-cardiogram of the ventricular mass is larger before than it is ...
LEFT-VENTRICULAR MASS ESTIMATED BY M-MODE ECHOCARDIOGRAM IS NOT ALTERED BY CHANGES IN CARDIAC SHAPE AND DIMENSIONS DUE TO ACUTE ARTERIAL-HYPERTENSION
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 1993-02-01)
The effect of changes in left ventricular (LV) shape and dimensions due to acute arterial hypertension induced by mechanical obstruction of the aorta for 10 min on LV mass values estimated by M-mode echocardiogram was ...
Bihemispheric paradoxical cerebral embolism in a patient with pulmonary thromboembolism and presumptive fistula right-to-left shunt
(2016-06-01)
We report a case of a bihemispheric paradoxical cerebral embolism in a patient with pulmonary thromboembolism and presumptive pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. The echocardiogram showed no intracardiac shunt, and the ...
Aldosterone Blockade Reduces Mortality without Changing Cardiac Remodeling in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
(Karger, 2013-01-01)
Background: The role of aldosterone blockers during transition from long-term compensated hypertrophy to dilated failure is not completely understood. In this study we evaluated the effects of early administration of ...
Effect of physiological overload on pregnancy in women with mitral regurgitation
(Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Hospital das Clínicas, 2011-01-01)
OBJECTIVES: to evaluate the structural and functional heart abnormalities in women with mitral regurgitation during pregnancy.INTRODUCTION: Women with mitral regurgitation progress well during pregnancy. However, the effects ...
Pharmacological dose of alpha-tocopherol induces cardiotoxicity in Wistar rats determined by echocardiography and histology
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2011-10-01)
The effect of pharmacological dose of cc-tocopherol on heart health was determined in Wistar rats. Animals were randomly assigned to either C (control, n = II) or E (cc-tocopherol, n = II) group. Animals received corn oil ...
Assessment of structural cardiac abnormalities and diastolic function in women with gestational diabetes mellitus
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2015-05-01)
Background: The main manifestation of hyperglycaemia during pregnancy is gestational diabetes mellitus. It can herald diabetes mellitus type 2 and its deleterious long-term effects, such as hypertension and cardiovascular ...
Association between echocardiographic structural parameters and body weight in Wistar rats
(2017-01-01)
Background: The association between echocardiographic structural parameters and body weight (BW) during rat development has been poorly addressed. We evaluated echocardiographic variables: left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic ...
Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in rabbits with doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy
(2018-02-01)
Some studies have shown the role played by matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in doxorubicin cardiotoxicity. In this study, we sought to investigate how plasma and myocardial MMP 2 and 9 perform in rabbits with ...
Effects of late exercise on cardiac remodeling and myocardial calcium handling proteins in rats with moderate and large size myocardial infarction
(2016-10-15)
Background Physical exercise attenuates myocardial infarction (MI)-induced cardiac remodeling. However, it is unsettled whether late exercise modulates post-infarction cardiac remodeling differentially according to infarct ...
