Abstract Purpose To investigate the effect of tanshinone IIA (TIIA) on ventricular remodeling in rats with pressure overload-induced heart failure. Methods Pressure overload-induced heart failure model (abdominal aortic coarctation) was established in 40 rats, which were divided into model and 5, 10 an...
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effect of alprostadil on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Methods: Rats were subjected to myocardial ischemia for 30 min followed by 24h reperfusion. Alprostadil (4 or 8 μg/kg) was intravenously administered at the time of reperfusion and myocar...
Resumen Introducción y objetivos . La activación eléctrica artificial del corazón en pacientes con arcapasos implantados en el ventrículo derecho es causante de disincronía ventricular. Synchromax® es un monitor de electrocardiografía que com prueba de manera no invasiva e instantánea el grado ...
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a classic form of chronic myocardial disease with a broad phenotypical spectrum. We report an atypical case of a patient with biventricular arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Although the current diagnosis criteria are the most widely accepted ones, they focus s...
Resumen Los avances en los dispositivos de desfibrilación automática implantable para pacientes que requieren este tipo de terapia han llevado a los fabricantes a intentar manofacturar componentes cada vez más modernos. En este sentido la compañía Medtronic intentó fabricar un electrodo más versá...
SUMMARY The septomarginal trabecula is a muscular structure which transmits the right branch of the atrioventricular bundle. It is usually supplied by a branch from the second anterior septal artery. Anastomoses between the right and left coronary arteries may happen on the septomarginal trabecula. They ...
Resumen: Introducción: El ejercicio físico reduce la mortalidad cardiovascular y genera remodelado cardíaco. Altas cargas de entrenamiento pueden generar remodelado cardíaco adverso. Biomarcadores (BMC) de inflamación Interleukina 6 (IL-6) y de estrés oxidativo Malondialdehído (MDA), potencialmen...
Abstract Objective: Ebstein's anomaly remains a relatively ignored disease. Lying in the 'No Man's land' between congenital and valve surgeons, it largely remains inadequately studied. We report our short-term results of treating it as a 'one and a half ventricle heart' and propose that the true tricusp...
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the correlation of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) on plasma levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and von Willebrand factor (vWF), glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa, granule membrane protein 140 (GMP-140) in rabbits with acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: Thirty apanese...
