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. ...

Morphologic and biomechanical changes of thoracic and abdominal aorta in a rat model of cigarette smoke exposure
(2013-08-01)
Background: Smoking is the most relevant environmental factor that affects the development of aortic aneurysm. Smokers have elevated levels of elastase activity in the arterial wall, which leads to weakening of the aorta. ...

Adjustments in β-adrenergic signaling contribute to the amelioration of cardiac dysfunction by exercise training in supravalvular aortic stenosis
(2020-01-01)
Background/Aims: Aortic stenosis-induced chronic pressure overload leads to cardiac dysfunction and congestive heart failure. The pathophysiological mechanisms of the myocardial impairment are multifactorial and include ...
Treinamento muscular inspiratório na força muscular ventilatória e na variabilidade da frequência cardíaca de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilUFSMCentro de Ciências da Saúde, 2019-08-16)
Cardiac surgery (CC) presents a risk of postoperative complications (CPP), with higher chances of pulmonary complications such as atelectasis, pneumonia and pleural effusion which lead to reduced lung volumes, impaired ...
