BACKGROUND: Metabolic adaptation and maladaptation are hallmarks of the failing heart and may be a target for therapeutic ...

Cardiac remodelling denotes the structural, cellular and molecular alterations that occur in the heart in response to injury or chronic stress. These changes encompass cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, loss ...

Following an acute heart attack, pathological remodeling processes occur in the heart. One consequence is so-called left ventricular systolic dysfunction, in which the pumping function of the left ...

Poor functional outcomes after a heart attack can be predicted with a new PET imaging agent, 68 Ga-FAPI-46. According to research presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging ...

Thicker carotid artery walls are linked to changes in aortic and cardiac structure and function and may help identify people ...

Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a ...

Heart failure affects more than 64 million people worldwide and remains a leading driver of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Adverse cardiac ...

Findings seen among people without known heart disease years before a cancer diagnosis. (HealthDay News) — Changes in heart structure and function may occur years before certain cancers are diagnosed, ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) regulates protein folding and maintains proteostasis in cells- a process essential to maintaining cellular health. However, researchers at UAB have found that chronic ...
