Cardiomyopathies are considered one of the most important causes of heart failure in cats and are subdivided into three main morphological types: hypertrophic (HCM), dilated (DCM), and restrictive (RCM). This study aimed to determine the frequency and types of cardiomyopathies in cats diagnosed in southe...
Yes-associated protein (YAP) is an important regulator of cellular proliferation and transdifferentiation. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying myofibroblast transdifferentiation in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We investigated the role of YAP in the pathological process of cardiac ma...
Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) has been hypothesized as a multifactorial disorder initiated by an environment trigger in individuals with predisposing human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. Published data on the association between HLA-DR3 antigen and IDC risk are inconclusive. To derive a more ...
El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer el grado de correlación entre el estado clínico y el cuadro histológico de pacientes con diagnóstico presuntivo de miocardiopatía dilatada o sospecha de miocarditis, teniendo en cuenta que la morfología y la función contráctil del miocardio deben estar e...
A cardiomioplastia tem sido proposta, como uma alternativa ao transplante cardíaco, no tratamento de pacientes com insuficiência miocárdica em fase avançada. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a evoluçao clínica e o comportamento da funçao ventricular no pós-operatório tardio desse procediment...
