Actions of thyroid hormone on myocardial contractility in the intact animal
The central role of the mammalian heart in the circulation was recognised by Nei Chung when he wrote in his Third Book of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine (2698 - 2598 B.C.): Treatise on the Five Viscera in Relation their part in Perfecting Life, "The Heart is in accord with the …

Myocardial Contractility in Fetal Sheep Exposed to Long-term Hypoxia at High Altitude : Activator Calcium and Beta-adrenergic Receptor Function
<p>We studied myocardial contractility in fetal sheep exposed to ~112 days of hypoxia at high-altitude (3,820 m). We recorded left and right ventricular wet weight, and measured the inotropic responses to extracellular calcium [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>o</sub> (0.2-10 mM), ryanodine …

Phosphine-Mediated Ligations: A Powerful and Versatile Method for the Selective Chemical Detection of Nitroxyl
… of NO reduction and protonation, increases myocardial contractility and elicits vasodilation, likely through modifications of select thiol proteins, a physiological profile distinct from NO.

Reproducibility and sensitivity of Doppler echocardiographic indices of left ventricular function during exercise
… and 2) to determine if induced changes in myocardial contractility would be reflected by changes in the Doppler indices. The Doppler indices of LVF were the peak acceleration of ascending aortic blood (pkA), peak Velocity of ascending aortic blood (pkV), and the integral of the …

Cocaine Induces Apoptosis in Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells: Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms
… cardiovascular consequences, such as depressed myocardial contractility, elevated blood pressure, coronary artery vasoconstriction, and myocardial ischemia and infarction. The multifactorial effects of cocaine often contribute to its sympathomimetic function. However, the direct cytotoxic …

Zweidimensionale Strain-Echokardiographie zur Analyse der regionalen linksventrikulären Funktion bei Aortenklappenvitien vor und nach operativem Aortenklappenersatz
… and strain rate were defined as parameters of myocardial deformation for each segment in a 16 segment model of the left ventricle.Results: Preoperatively segmental strain and strain rate data were not significantly different between the three aortic pathologies. Immediately postoperatively …

Thick filament regulation of myocardial contraction
… cardiac myocytes, implying that MyBP-C regulates myocardial contractility by limiting crossbridge cycling. We also examined the effects of SL on mechanical properties in rat skinned cardiac myocytes containing either [alpha]-MyHC or [beta]-MyHC. Peak absolute and normalized loaded shortening …

THE EFFECT OF THYROID HORMONES ON THE FORCE OF CONTRACTION OF LEFT ATRIA OF GUINEA-PIGS IN UITRO
… increased and carbimazole decreased the contractility of the guinea-pig myo- cardium. Both the stimulatory action and the adverse effects of thyroxine were dose- and duration dependent whereas the inhibitory effect of carbimazole was only slightly dose-dependent. Carbimazole added in …

The utility of bioimpedance cardiography in assessing the influence of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome on cardiac function
… (CO), heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), myocardial contractility index (MCI) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) were similar during 15 sec and 30 sec MM in all three days. During 30 sec MM, these changes in cardiac function were pronounced in comparison to the minimal variations …

Regulation of cAMP Signalling to Phospholemman by Phosphodiesterases
… ion gradients and the indirect control of myocardial contractility.<br/>The work described in this thesis investigated whether individual cardiac PDE subtype(s) are responsible for modulating cAMP signalling to PLM and the NKA in adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVMs). The use of selective …

Endogenous cardioactive substances in blood: effects on the isolated guinea-pig atria
… the role of blood-borne substances affecting myocardial contractility. Isolated left and right guinea-pig au -ia were used as bioassay for the detection of endogenous cardiotonic substances in bovine serum. Results show that serum that had been buffer exchanged to Krebs-Henseleit by dialysis …

Performance characteristics of the left ventricle during and following induced extrasystoles
<p>During the last two decades, since the heart has become a direct target for various surgical procedures for the correction of several abnormalities, interest in understanding its basic regulatory mechanisms and performance has increased considerably. Many experiments have been devised to study …
