OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the impact of contrast injection and harmonic imaging,
on the measure by echocardiography of left ventricular (LV) remodeling. BACKGROUND …

Background—Induction of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contributes to adverse
remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). Whether a region-and type-specific distribution …

Aims We studied the time-dependent relationships between microvascular obstruction (MO),
infarct size, and left ventricular (LV) remodelling after acute myocardial infarction (MI) …

J. Leor. Influence of Embryonic Cardiomyocyte Transplantation on the Progression of Heart …

Heart failure is strongly associated with aging. Elderly patients with heart failure often have
preserved systolic function exhibiting left ventricular hypertrophy accompanied by a decline …

Objective: Determine the effect of a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor (MMPi) and
angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) on collagen, MMP, tissue inhibitors of MMPs …

Mouse models of myocardial infarction are essential tools for the study of cardiac injury,
repair, and remodeling. Our current investigation establishes a systematic approach for …

DE-MRI performed in conjunction with segmental wall motion assessment by resting cine
images has helped define several broad pathophysiological categories. Lack of …

Eukaryotic gene expression is tightly regulated transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally by
a host of noncoding (nc) RNAs. The best-studied class of short ncRNAs, microRNAs, mainly …

BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with left ventricular (LV)
dysfunction and clinical heart failure. Arginine vasopressin is elevated in heart failure and …
