Multifunctional Regulators of Cardiac Disease and Development
… In this thesis, I present my findings on two cardiac transcription factors MEF2 and Yap that play multiple roles in development. First, I show a novel function of myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) transcription factors in development of endochondral bone. MEF2 proteins are widely known as …

Health Beliefs and Compliance Among Adults with Cardiac Disease
… males who were prescribed medication to treat cardiac disease. A structured interview was conducted to obtain information regarding the subjects' motivation/ social support/ and perceptions of severity, susceptibility, benefits, and barriers toward cardiac disease and the treatment regimen. …

Exploiting novel antibodies for the early detection of cardiac disease
Cardiovascular disease, the single greatest killer in the western world, is credited with causing 48% of all deaths worldwide and is of huge economic importance in healthcare provision. The cardiac troponins are definitive indicators of cardiovascular disease and elevated levels of cardiac troponin …

Acquired copper imbalance in diabetes-induced cardiac disease: Molecular mechanisms and reversibility
… pathogenesis of diabetes-induced cardiovascular disease. Recent studies from our group have shown that chronic treatment with a divalent Cu(II)-selective chelator, TETA, can ameliorate diabetes-induced disturbances in the regulation of copper homeostasis, and improve the structure and function of …

Health-Related QOL, Physical Activity, and Social Support in Saudi Patients with Cardiac Disease
Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) is known as a leading cause of death and disability adjusted life years in recent decades, especially in Saudi Arabia. Higher levels of physical activity (PA) and perceived social support (PSS) were positively associated with improved outcomes like health-related …

Referral Patterns and Utilization of Clinical Genetic Testing For Patients With Inherited Cardiac Disease
… for a group of conditions known as inherited cardiac disease are becoming clearer, and genetic testing for these conditions is rapidly expanding as new genes are being identified which contribute to disease phenotypes. The diagnosis of inherited cardiac disease in a family holds implications …

Optimal Analytical Methods for High Accuracy Cardiac Disease Classification and Treatment Based on ECG Data
… of 0.988 on patients without additional cardiac conditions. In the fifth project, we trained a multi-stage artificial intelligence algorithm to classify right ventricular outflow tract or left ventricular outflow tract origins ventricular tachycardia. Under 100-time cross-validation, the …

The application of the N-terminal fragment of pro hormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT proBNP) in cardiac disease risk assessment
… precursor peptide that is derived from proBNP a cardiac natriuretic peptide (NP), which is measured in plasma to assist with management of cardiac related conditions. The first aim of this study was to examine the biological variation (BV) of NT proBNP and to calculate its reference change value …

Kinetocardiogram computer diagnostic procedures
… conduction defects, were classified into eight cardiac disease categories, one of which was a normal control. The kinetocardiogram wave patterns were then studied as a single basis for deriving a computer-assisted method of cardiac disease diagnosis. [See document for full abstract.]

An investigation of the symptom burden of paediatric cardiology outpatients in Blantyre, Malawi: The patient perspective
Introduction: Children suffering from cardiac disease present with an increasing burden of symptoms throughout the trajectory of their disease. There is little research describing symptom burden among children with cardiac disease in resource-limited settings in general and looking particularly …

Infrastructure Development For Personalized Risk Prediction to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease In Childhood Cancer Survivors
… morbidity and mortality for these survivors is cardiac disease. Radiation therapy (RT) has been linked in numerous cohort studies to a higher chance of developing a late cardiac disease in these survivors, and this risk rises with higher mean heart doses and increased RT exposure to larger …

An in Vitro Study of Cellular Cardiomyoplasty: Structural and Functional Interactions of Non-cardiomyocytes and Cardiomyocytes
… structural and functional interactions between cardiac and non-cardiac cells is essential to better address the sequelae of cardiac disease and improve the potential cellular implantation therapies. First, an in vitro model was established to investigate the probability that electromechanical …

Study of the heart muscle in health and disease
… the great importance of the myocardium in cardiac disease. Modern research has shown conclusively that whatever kind of heart-lesion may be present, the real factor of importance is the state of the heart muscle. A healthy myocardium can compensate for every defect. The actual condition of …

Transcendental meditation on blood pressure in hypertensive patients as an alternative/adjuvant to pharmacotherapy
… pressures are associated with greater risks of cardiac disease. Less than half of the population with hypertension are aware of their diagnosis and those who are aware are not always adequately treated. Proper management of hypertension has the potential to reduce the global burden of disease …
