Artificial muscle technology applied towards treating ischemic mitral regurgitation caused by left ventricular remodeling
… MR is most often caused by the bulging, or remodeling, of the heart's left ventricle. This remodeling displaces the papillary muscles inside of the ventricle and tethers the mitral valve, preventing it from closing properly. Current treatments attempt to either repair or replace the valve. …

Aortic Valve Replacement: The Influence of Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch for Left Ventricular Remodeling, Cardiac Function and Survival
… prosthesis hemodynamics with secondary impaired left ventricular remodeling. Nevertheless, an increasing number of studies with various study designs and outcomes present conflicting results. Thus, there is no convincing evidence for PPM’s detrimental effects. The aims of this research were to …

EFFECTS OF DAPAGLIFLOZIN ON EXERCISE CAPACITY, RESPIRATORY FUNCTION, BIOMARKERS, SLEEP APNEA, AND LEFT VENTRICULAR REMODELING IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE: A PROSPECTIVE, SINGLE CENTER, NON RANDOMIZED STUDY
… completed full follow-up. Dapagliflozin improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), reduced cardiac volumes and pulmonary artery pressures, and enhanced ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2 slope). Haemoglobin increased significantly, while peakVO2, natriuretic peptides, and spirometry remained …

Vergleichende Beurteilung verschiedener echokardiographischer und elektrokardiographischer Parameter zur Vorhersage der Erholung der linksventrikulären Funktion bei Patienten mit akutem St-Hebungsinfarkt
… to the representation of the morphology of the left ventricle at present. To a prospective clinical study 52 patients were included, who suffered an acute myocardial infarction and were then treated at the University Hospital Aachen by emergency angioplasty. Furher by resultant opacification …

The Efficacy Of Prostaglandin Synthase Inhibition On Attenuating Pressure Overload Induced Cardiac Remodeling
Chronic hypertension has long been known to cause left ventricular remodeling. Although previous studies pointed towards inflammation as the pathological driver of cardiac remodeling, the exact mechanistic pathway associated with pressure overload-induced cardiac remodeling remains to be …

Methods and adaptations required to perform small-animal MRI scanning using a large bore clinical MRI
… and blood, respectively, in healthy rats and MR left ventricular mass (LVM) was highly correlated with (r=0.87) with post-mortem mass. In the second part of the study, left ventricular remodeling (LVR) was investigated in a nonreperfused model of myocardial infarction (MI) in 5 sham and 7 …

Dynamic Remodeling of The Stressed Heart: Role of Protein Degradation Pathways
… composition of heart muscle during hypertrophic remodeling. My study hypothesized that cardiac remodeling in response to hypertrophic stimuli is a dynamic process that requires activation of highly regulated mechanisms of protein degradation as much as it requires protein synthesis. My first aim …

Compound 49b: A Novel Beta-Adrenergic Receptor Agonist in the Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy
… in the rat. Isoproterenol also produced left ventricle remodeling suggesting it entered the systemic circulation. We therefore synthesized various novel beta-adrenergic receptor compounds and screened these compounds in vitro for their ability to reduce markers of inflammation and …

The role of pulmonary arterial stiffness in right ventricular remodelling in COPD
… therapeutic target before end stage arterial remodeling occurs. Traditionally the assessment of the arterial stiffness required right heart catheterization, however recent advance in MRI are yielding new opportunities to undertake this assessment noninvasively. Pulse wave velocity is one of …

Protective Effects of Yuzu and Its Component against Cardiovascular Disease
Left ventricular (LV) remodeling, which includes ventricular dilatation and increased interstitial fibrosis after myocardial infarction (MI), is the critical process underlying the progression to heart failure (HF). Therefore, a novel approach for preventing LV remodeling after MI is highly …
