Cardiac Sarcoidosis: Case Report, Workup, and Review of the Literature
(Springer Healthcare, 2013)Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with coronary heart disease being the most common manifestation disease. While deaths attributed to coronary heart disease are falling in the ... -
Circumferential myocardial strain in cardiomyopathy with and without left bundle branch block
(BioMed Central, 2010)Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to decrease mortality in 60-70% of advanced heart failure patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and QRS duration > 120 ms. There have been intense ... -
Phosphomimetic Modulation of eNOS Improves Myocardial Reperfusion and Mimics Cardiac Postconditioning in Mice
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Objective: Myocardial infarction resulting from ischemia-reperfusion injury can be reduced by cardiac postconditioning, in which blood flow is restored intermittently prior to full reperfusion. Although key molecular ... -
Regional Cardiac Dysfunction and Dyssynchrony in a Murine Model of Afterload Stress
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Small animal models of afterload stress have contributed much to our present understanding of the progression from hypertension to heart failure. High-sensitivity methods for phenotyping cardiac function in vivo, particular ...
