Cardiac Biomarkers in Hyperthyroid Cats
… effects on the circulatory system. The cardiac biomarkers NT-proBNP and troponin I (cTNI) have proven useful in identifying cats with myocardial disease but have not been as extensively investigated in hyperthyroidism. Hypothesis: Plasma NT-proBNP and cTNI concentrations are higher in …

Cardiac biomarkers (NT-proBNP and cardiac troponin-I) and point-of-care ultrasound in dogs with cardiac and non-cardiac causes of non-hemorrhagic ascites
… Non-hemorrhagic ascites (NHA) can be caused by cardiac diseases (cNHA) and non-cardiac diseases (ncNHA). N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) may differentiate between cNHA and ncNHA. Hypothesis/Objectives: This study …

Defining feline brachycephaly and benefits of ala vestibuloplasty in the brachycephalic cat
… enrolled and assessed preoperatively by cardiac biomarkers (cardiac troponin-I [cTnI] and N-terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide [NT ProBNP]), contrast echocardiography, airway computed tomography (CT), endoscopy, and a standardized owner questionnaire. Ala vestibuloplasty was performed …

The effect of prolonged exercise and environmental temperature upon left ventricular function and cardiac biomarker release
… upon left ventricular (LV) function and cardiac biomarker release. The primary aims were; (1) does repeated exercise bouts mediate a cumulative decrease in LV function and/or increase in cardiac biomarker concentrations; and (2) to examine the impact of prolonged exercise in a …

Mechanisms and Management of Breathlessness in Chronic Heart Failure
… seen in previous studies, ii) explored blood biomarkers of heart failure in relation to dyspnoea and iii) provided guidance for future definitive clinical trials. Results: 1) 47% of patients experienced dyspnoea in the community. Dyspnoea-12 scores correlated with New York Heart Association …

The Effects of Prolonged Bouts of Exercise and Acute Ischemic Preconditioning on Cardiac Biomarker Release
… of endurance exercise can lead to the release of cardiac biomarkers of damage and dysfunction. Whether this cardiac biomarker release is indicative of reversible or irreversible cardiomyocyte damage is not clear. The first study in this thesis employed a new high sensitivity assay to assess …

Phenotyping for a personalised approach to CVD prevention
… phenotyping of individuals, for example using biomarkers of subclinical CVD, in order to better personalize their preventive care is an attractive approach. In the corpus of work presented for this PhD by prior publication, a series of eleven published papers is included that examines the role …

Ethanolamine as a cardioprotective agent in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity
… tested whether ethanolamine protected cardiac cells by causing release of factors from fibroblasts, using H9c2 cocultured with H9c2s as a negative control. Doses of 1.6, 16, and 160 mg/kg ethanolamine were used to treat male and female C57/Bl6 mice exposed to acute (one dose of 20 mg/kg …
