When “Atrium” outgrows “Ventricle” restrictive cardiomyopathy is diagnosed ! by Dr. Sangareddi V. Medical Doctor

Posted Sun 12 Dec 2010 1:57pm of myocardial disease which was difficult to recognise in the past.It was also commonly confused with constrictive pericarditis. Today , one can easily recognise this entity.A simple... ) But all these are redundant here. How is RCM different from non dilated cardiomyopathy ? A new entity is being recognised in the cardiac muscle disease.This is often referred Read on »

How common is myocardial wall motion defects in the absence of ischemia or infarction ? by Dr. Sangareddi V. Medical Doctor

Posted Mon 14 Dec 2009 6:30am Myocardial wall motion defects are sine qua non of coronary artery disease. This occurs as regional wall motion defects following myocardial infarction or during unstable.... Under physiological conditions myocardial segments contract in a synchronous fashion so that the chambers have a uniform contraction and relaxation. The heart is a complex Read on »

Novel Inhibitors of p53 for Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disorders, Myocardial Infarction and Other Tissue Insults by nih.gov Posted Sun 13 Jun 2010 5:00pm disease, myocardial infarction and stroke. In vitro and ex vivo studies demonstrated that p53 inhibition protected nerve cells from toxic insults that otherwise induced programmed Read on »

High Ischemia-Modified Albumin Concentration Reflects Oxidative Stress But Not Myocardial Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis by Jan Posted Thu 03 Dec 2009 11:14pm By Didier Borderie and Colleague Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterized by widespread vascular lesions and fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. In SSc, vasospasm causes frequent episodes of reperfusion injury and free-radical-mediated endothelial disruption. Primary myocardial involvement is far more common than Read on »

Pulmonary Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis: Association With Myocardial Fibrosis by Jan Posted Sun 05 Dec 2010 9:03pm in consensus for functional left and right ventricular parameters and for myocardial late enhancement. HRCT images were reviewed at 5 levels and scored for total disease extent, extent... Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between pulmonary and myocardial fibrosis in patients with systemic sclerosis (SS). Materials and Methods: Eighteen Read on »

Tea catechins improve left ventricular dysfunction, suppress myocardial inflammation and fibrosis, and alter cytokine expression by Jan Posted Sat 27 Nov 2010 9:59am Background: Myocarditis is a clinically serious disease. Tea catechins have been shown to reduce inflammation; however the effects of catechins on the development..., non-treated EAM hearts showed severe myocardial cell infiltration and fibrosis; however Group A showed significantly less area. Immunohistochemistry revealed enhanced expression Read on »

Effects of D-4F on vasodilation, oxidative stress, angiostatin, myocardial inflammation and angiogenic potential in Tight-skin by Jan Posted Fri 11 Sep 2009 4:56pm of many of the myocardial and vascular features seen in humans with SSc. D-4F is an apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) mimetic that improves vascular function in diverse diseases such -/+ as hypercholesterolemia, influenza, and sickle cell disease. Tsk mice were treated with either phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or D-4F (1 mg/kg/d for 6-8 weeks). Acetylcholine and flow-induced Read on »

Oleuropein prevents oxidative myocardial injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion by Jan Posted Thu 03 Dec 2009 11:06pm of olive oil in the prevention of coronary heart disease can be also related to the high content of oleuropein and its derivatives. Moreover, our data, together with the well... heart disease as well as in the case of cardiac surgery, including transplantation.
