Cardioplegia at subnormothermia facilitates rapid functional resuscitation of hearts preserved in SOMAH for transplants
(BioMed Central, 2014)Objectives: Hearts preserved ex vivo at 4°C undergo time-dependent irreversible injury due to extreme hypothermia. Studies using novel organ preservative solution SOMAH, suggest that hearts are optimally ‘preserved’ at ... -
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test: Background, Applicability and Interpretation
(Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia - SBC, 2016)Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) has been gaining importance as a method of functional assessment in Brazil and worldwide. In its most frequent applications, CPET consists in applying a gradually increasing intensity ... -
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Lung Transplantation: A Review
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)There has been an increase in lung transplantation in the USA. Lung allocation is guided by the lung allocation score (LAS), which takes into account one measure of exercise capacity, the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). There ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with white matter integrity in aging
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015)Objective: Aging is associated with reduced neural integrity, yet there are remarkable individual differences in brain health among older adults (OA). One factor that may attenuate age-related neural decline is cardiorespiratory ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness, body mass index, and cancer mortality: a cohort study of Japanese men
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the independent and joint effects of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body mass index (BMI) on cancer mortality in a low body mass index population. Methods: We evaluated ... -
Cardioscopic Tool-Delivery Instrument for Beating-Heart Surgery
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016)This paper describes an instrument that provides solutions to two open challenges in beating-heart intracardiac surgery - providing high-fidelity imaging of tool-tissue contact and controlling tool penetration into tissue ... -
Cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric safety of varenicline and bupropion compared with nicotine replacement therapy for smoking cessation: study protocol of a retrospective cohort study using the QResearch general practice database
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014)Introduction: Cigarette smoking continues to be the leading cause of preventable death and is the main risk factor of major diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The best treatment to help smokers ... -
Cardiovascular and pharmacological implications of haem-deficient NO-unresponsive soluble guanylate cyclase knock-in mice
(Springer Nature, 2015)Oxidative stress, a central mediator of cardiovascular disease, results in loss of the prosthetic haem group of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), preventing its activation by nitric oxide (NO). Here we introduce Apo-sGC ... -
Cardiovascular Disease in Chronic Kidney Disease
(2018-05-23)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in both developed and developing countries. With more than 92 million Americans with at least one type of CVD, cardiovascular causes explain up to one-third ... -
Cardiovascular Event Prediction and Risk Reclassification by Coronary, Aortic, and Valvular Calcification in the Framingham Heart Study
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)Background: We determined whether vascular and valvular calcification predicted incident major coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all‐cause mortality independent of Framingham risk factors in the ... -

Cardiovascular Inflammation in Healthy Women: Multilevel Associations with State-Level Prosperity, Productivity and Income Inequality
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: Cardiovascular inflammation is a key contributor to the development of atherosclerosis and the prediction of cardiovascular events among healthy women. An emerging literature suggests biomarkers of inflammation ... -
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Scar Development Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation: A Prospective Study
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Aims Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) provides non-invasive assessment of early (24-hour) edema and injury following pulmonary vein isolation (by ablation) and subsequent scar formation. We hypothesize that 24-hours ... -
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance parameters associated with early transplant-free survival in children with small left hearts following conversion from a univentricular to biventricular circulation
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: We sought to identify cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters associated with successful univentricular to biventricular conversion in patients with small left hearts. Methods: Patients with small ... -
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance techniques and findings in children with myocarditis: a multicenter retrospective study
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly used to diagnose myocarditis in adults but its use in children is not well-established. We sought to describe the presentation, CMR protocol and findings, ... -

Cardiovascular risk in patients with alopecia areata (AA): A propensity-matched retrospective analysis
(Elsevier BV, 2016)Background The cardiovascular risk of patients with alopecia areata (AA) is not well characterized, with limited studies evaluating the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and ischemic stroke. Objective We sought ...
