Mesenchymal stem cells reduce left ventricular mass in rats with doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
SUMMARY: Doxorubicin is a drug that used by a majority in the treatment of carcinomas. The most obvious known side effect is cardiomyopathy. Many studies have been carried out to eliminate side effects of the doxorubicin, and stem cell studies have been added in recent years. In this study, it was aimed ...

Ventrículo izquierdo no compacto: panorámica y arritmogenia

CorSalud; 10 (1), 2018
Las miocardiopatías constituyen un grupo importante y heterogéneo de enfermedades del miocardio asociadas a disfunción mecánica, eléctrica, o ambas. El ventrículo izquierdo no compacto es una miocardiopatía familiar de etiología incierta de la que se desconocen sus exactas incidencia y prevalenci...

Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in rabbits with doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (2), 2018
Some studies have shown the role played by matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in doxorubicin cardiotoxicity. In this study, we sought to investigate how plasma and myocardial MMP 2 and 9 perform in rabbits with doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy, searching for a correlation between the activi...

Miocardiopatía diabética: un punto de vista retrospectivo

Rev. colomb. cardiol; 25 (1), 2018
Resumen Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de pacientes con probable miocardiopatía diabética (sin exigir biopsia endomiocárdica), analizando sus características y comparándolas con pacientes no diabéticos con insuficiencia cardiaca idiopática. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo sobre una cohorte d...

The Presence and Extension of Myocardial Fibrosis in the Undetermined Form of Chagas' Disease: A Study Using Magnetic Resonance

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (2), 2018
Abstract Background: Previous data has shown that patients in the indeterminate form of Chagas disease may present myocardial fibrosis as shown on through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, there is little information available regarding the degree of severity of myocardial fibrosis in these ind...

Heart Transplantation for Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: A Single-Center Experience

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (2), 2018
Abstract Background: Peripartum cardiomyopathy is an idiopathic disorder defined by the occurrence of acute heart failure during late pregnancy or post-partum period in the absence of any other definable cause. Its clinical course is variable and severe cases might require heart transplantation. Object...

Interleukin-6 contributes to myocardial damage in pregnant rats with reduced uterine perfusion pressure

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (8), 2018
Preeclampsia is one of the most frequent and difficult illnesses in pregnancy, which jeopardizes both mother and fetus. There are several diagnostic criteria for preeclampsia. However, the preeclampsia-associated myocardial damage has not been described. In this study, we employed reduced uterine perfusi...

Identification of the difference in the pathogenesis in heart failure arising from different etiologies using a microarray dataset

Clinics; 72 (10), 2017
OBJECTIVES: Clinically, patients with chronic heart failure arising from different etiologies receive the same treatment. However, the prognoses of these patients differ. The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether the pathogenesis of heart failure arising from different etiologies differs. METHO...

Radioterapia e cardiotoxicidade

Os avanços da radioterapia aumentaram a taxa de sobrevida dos pacientes em tratamento oncológico em até 90% em alguns casos. A prevalência acumulada de doença cardíaca relacionada com a radioterapia é estimada em 10% a 30% de 5 a 10 anos após o tratamento e é dose-dependente. A dose acumulada e ...

Fibrosis endomiocárdica

Rev. colomb. cardiol; 24 (4), 2017
Resumen Las miocardiopatías son trastornos intrínsecos del músculo cardíaco. Presentan fenotipos diferenciales que determinan su clasificación; estos son: dilatada, hipertrófica, restrictiva, displasia arritmogénica del ventrículo derecho y no clasificadas. Las miocardiopatías restrictivas se ca...
