Cardiac, Metabolic and Molecular Profiles of Sedentary Rats in the Initial Moment of Obesity

Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (5), 2017
Abstract Background: Different types of high-fat and/or high-energy diets have been used to induce obesity in rodents. However, few studies have reported on the effects observed at the initial stage of obesity induced by high-fat feeding on cardiac functional and structural remodelling. Objective: To c...

Papillary Muscle Free Strain in Patients with Severe Degenerative and Functional Mitral Regurgitation

Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (4), 2017
Abstract Fundamento: The role of papillary muscle function in severe mitral regurgitation with preserved and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and the method of choice to evaluate PM have still been the subjects of controversy. Objectives: To evaluate and compare papillary muscle function in a...

Functional Effects of Hyperthyroidism on Cardiac Papillary Muscle in Rats

Arq. bras. cardiol; 107 (6), 2016
Abstract Background: Hyperthyroidism is currently recognized to affect the cardiovascular system, leading to a series of molecular and functional changes. However, little is known about the functional influence of hyperthyroidism in the regulation of cytoplasmic calcium and on the sodium/calcium exchang...
