Effects on hemodynamic variables and echocardiographic parameters after a stellate ganglion block in 15 healthy volunteers
Abstract Background The sympathetic nervous system has an important role in generating pain. Various pathomechanisms are involved that respond well to the application of local anesthetics (LA), for example to the stellate ganglion...

High density lipoprotein and metabolic disease: Potential benefits of restoring its functional properties
Abstract Background High density lipoproteins (HDLs) are thought to be atheroprotective and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Besides their antioxidant, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic properties ...

A Clinical Study of the N-Terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Myocardial Injury after Neonatal Asphyxia
Background We aimed to study the changes of serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic to peptide (NT-proBNP) levels after asphyxia-induced myocardial injury in children and explore the relationship between serum NT-proBNP levels and neonatal...

A Myocardial Slice Culture Model Reveals Alpha-1A-Adrenergic Receptor Signaling in the Human Heart
Summary The authors used 52 nonfailing and failing human hearts to develop a simple, high throughput left ventricular myocardial slice model that is stable by ATP and viability assays for at least 3 days. The model supports studies of signaling,...

Ventricular pacing – Electromechanical consequences and valvular function
Abstract Although great strides have been made in the areas of ventricular pacing, it is still appreciated that dyssynchrony can be malignant, and that appropriately placed pacing leads may ameliorate mechanical dyssynchrony. However, the unknowns...

Atlas-based ventricular shape analysis for understanding congenital heart disease
Abstract Congenital heart disease is associated with abnormal ventricular shape that can affect wall mechanics and may be predictive of long-term adverse outcomes. Atlas-based parametric shape analysis was used to analyze ventricular geometries of...

Variability in cardiac electrophysiology: Using experimentally-calibrated populations of models to move beyond the single virtual physiological human paradigm
Abstract Physiological variability manifests itself via differences in physiological function between individuals of the same species, and has crucial implications in disease progression and treatment. Despite its importance, physiological...

Rabbit models of cardiac mechano-electric and mechano-mechanical coupling
Abstract Cardiac auto-regulation involves integrated regulatory loops linking electrics and mechanics in the heart. Whereas mechanical activity is usually seen as ‘the endpoint’ of cardiac auto-regulation, it is important to appreciate that the...

Rationale and Design of a Prospective Study to Assess the Effect of Microcirculatory Antiplatelet and Vasodilation Therapy in Patients with Chronic Chagas Heart Disease and Coronary Microvascular Disease
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND There is evidence based on experimental models studies in infections by Trypanosoma cruzi, as well as histopathologic studies in individuals with Chagas heart disease, suggesting that ischemia plays a role in...

Neurohumoral improvement and torsional dynamics in patients with heart failure after treatment with levosimendan
Abstract Background Levosimendan improves clinical and hemodynamic parameters exerting an anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effect in decompensated heart failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of levosimendan...
