Analysis of Iron Metabolism in Chronic Chagasic Cardiomyopathy

Arq. bras. cardiol; 112 (2), 2019
Abstract Changes in iron metabolism in heart failure (HF) have been described as an important prognostic marker. To check if the markers of iron kinetics are related to the morbidity and etiology of chagasic cardiomyopathy. Patients with Chronic Chagasic Cardiomyopathy (CCC, n = 40), with indeterminate f...

Importance of SERCA2a on early isolated diastolic dysfunction induced by supravalvular aortic stenosis in rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (5), 2017
Cardiac remodeling is defined as changes in shape and function of the heart in response to aggression (pressure overload). The sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase cardiac isoform 2a (SERCA2a) is a known factor that influences function. A wide spectrum of studies report a decrease in SERCA2a in heart fa...
