Efectos cardiovasculares de los inhibidores del cotransportador 2 de sodio-glucosa (ISGLT2): los mecanismos del beneficio en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca

Rev. chil. cardiol; 41 (3), 2022
La insuficiencia cardíaca (IC) es un problema de salud mundial. En la actualidad existe una clara asociación entre la IC y la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), con una prevalencia cada vez mayor de pacientes que presentan concomitantemente ambas patologías. Los inhibidores del cotransportador 2 de sodio...

Diuretics are Similar to Losartan on Echocardiographic Target-Organ Damage in Stage I Hypertension. PREVER-Treatment Study

Arq. bras. cardiol; 112 (1), 2019
Abstract Blood pressure (BP)-lowering therapy improves left ventricular (LV) parameters of hypertensive target-organ damage in stage II hypertension, but whether there is a drug-class difference in echocardiographic parameters in stage I hypertension patients is less often studied. In the PREVER treatmen...

Mitigating effect of tanshinone IIA on ventricular remodeling in rats with pressure overload-induced heart failure

Acta cir. bras; 34 (8), 2019
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...

La inhibición de Rho quinasa post infarto mejora el remodelado y la función ventricular: mecanismos involucrados a nivel preclínico

Rev. chil. cardiol; 36 (3), 2017
Resumen: Objetivo: Determinar algunos mecanismos moleculares por los cuales la activación de ROCK cardíaca post infarto del miocardio (IAM) participa en el remodelado y en deterioro de la función sistólica. Métodos: Determinación simultánea de niveles de proteínas blanco de ROCK cardíaca, de f...

Resistance training attenuates salt overload-induced cardiac remodeling and diastolic dysfunction in normotensive rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (9), 2017
Elevated salt intake induces changes in the extracellular matrix collagen, leading to myocardial stiffness and impaired relaxation. Resistance training (RT) has been used as a remarkably successful strategy in the treatment of heart disease. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects...

Espironolactona aumenta los niveles circulantes de angiotensina-(1-9) y revierte el remodelado cardíaco en la hipertensión arterial experimental

Rev. chil. cardiol; 36 (2), 2017
Previamente hemos demostrado que la eficacia de enalapril, candesartán y de fasudil -inhibidor de la vía RhoA/ROCK,- en el tratamiento del remodelado cardíaco en la hipertensión (HTA) e infarto al miocardio está mediada por aumento en los niveles circulantes del péptido vasoactivo angiotensina [Ang...

Pentoxifylline Attenuates Cardiac Remodeling Induced by Tobacco Smoke Exposure

Arq. bras. cardiol; 106 (5), 2016
Abstract Background: Tobacco smoke exposure is an important risk factor for cardiac remodeling. Under this condition, inflammation, oxidative stress, energy metabolism abnormalities, apoptosis, and hypertrophy are present. Pentoxifylline has anti‑inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-thrombotic and a...

Borage oil attenuates progression of cardiac remodeling in rats after myocardial infarction

Acta cir. bras; 31 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of Borage oil on cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS: Male Wistar rats underwent ligation of the left coronary artery and divided into three groups: MI (control), BO-18 (18 mg/kg of borage oil) and BO-180 (180 mg/kg of borage oil). ...
