The role of oxygen free radicals in the endotoxic shock induced myocardial dysfunction and cellular injury
… times after ET administration to determine myocardial function and contractility and myocardial oxygen consumption. Blood samples were collected at similar intervals as above for the measurements of OFR producing activity of PMNLs (PMNL-CL), and plasma creatine kinase (CK) and lactate levels …

Age and gender differences in risk factor burden, myocardial dysfunction and cardiovascular events in relation to glucose metabolism
… associations between glucose metabolism and myocardial dysfunction, risk factor burden and CVD events in middle-aged and elderly subjects. The hypothesis tested was that similar associations would be observed in elderly as in younger populations, although the associations would be weaker with …

The role of myocardial fibrosis and ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony in the pathogenesis and treatment of contractile myocardial dysfunction.
… factors in patients with cardiovascular disease. Dysfunction of the left ventricle in heart failure exposes the left atrium to elevated pressures during diastole, which result in adverse left atrial remodelling and impairment. Although the development of systolic left ventricular impairment has …

Zytokinproduktion bei Neugeborenen mit Transposition der großen Arterien im Verlaufe der Arteriellen Switch Operation : Beziehung zur Myokardzelldysfunktion
… cytokines, which could be responsible for myocardial dysfunction as a result of myocardial cell damage. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the production of proinflammatory cytokines during cardiac surgery would be associated with myocardial dysfunction after the …

The Association of Subclinical Atherosclerosis with Incident Heart Failure: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
… is associated with left ventricular myocardial dysfunction, a subclinical marker of HF. We investigated the association of carotid IMT with incident HF among middle-aged whites and blacks, controlling for major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.

Evaluierung der Troponin-I-Freisetzung in der kardialen Lymphe bei herzchirurgischen Eingriffen unter Einsatz des extrakorporalen Kreislaufes
… inflammatory response and a perioperative myocardial damage (PMD) leading to postoperative myocardial dysfunction. The cardiac lymphatic system is because of its origin in the interstitial space of the heart, more sensitive than arterial and coronary sinus (CS) blood in reflecting the …

New Paradigm of Defibrillation: Towards Painless Therapy
… However, high-voltage ICD shocks could result in myocardial dysfunction and damage. The majority of patients receiving ICD therapy have a history of coronary disease; their hearts develop myocardium infarction, which could provide a substrate for reentrant tachy-arrhythmias. Other than lethal …

Importance of cardiac reserve for evaluation and prediction of cardiac function and morbidity assessed by low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography
… severe heart disease and during progression of myocardial dysfunction in rats. Furthermore, cardiac reserve can be used to predict cardiomyopathy development after β1AR immunization in mice.

Increased Mitochondrial Calpain-1 Is an Important Mechanism Contributing to Mitochondrial ROS Generation in Cardiac Diseases
… cardiac apoptosis, hypertrophy and fibrosis) and myocardial dysfunction were attenuated in diabetic or septic capns1 knockout mice compared with their wild-type littermates. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that mitochondrial calpain-1 directly targeted and cleaved ATP synthase subunit-alpha …

Incidence and implications of atypical exercise blood pressure responses of cardiac rehabilitation patients
… cardiovascular responses and indicators of myocardial dysfunction. Results revealed atypical blood pressure responses in 65.5% of the subjects. No change in systolic pressure between the last two measured blood pressures was the most frequent atypical response exhibited. The …

Age-associated changes to calcium handling proteins across the whole heart
… and associated with the increased frequency of myocardial dysfunction and arrhythmias. A key factor involved in such problems is the regulation of intracellular calcium ions (Ca²⁺) which is involved in contraction of the heart and the upstroke of the sinoatrial (SA) node pacemaker. Dysfunction …

Engineering mesenchymal stem cell sheets on functional polyelectrolyte multilayer substrates
… corneal reconstruction and treatment of human myocardial dysfunction. The main goal of my thesis was to develop an alternative, electrochemically responsive surface coating for the site-specific release of cell sheets by applying of micro-electrical currents. In context of my work, …

The effects of preconditioning coronary artery disease patients with hyperbaric oxygen prior to coronary artery bypass graft surgery & cardiopulmonary bypass
… of ischaemia and reperfusion, which may lead to myocardial dysfunction. In clinical studies, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has been shown to limit myocardial injury and improve myocardial function. The primary efficacy objective of this study …
