Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) provide revascularisation for cardiovascular
disease and the expansion of these cells opens up the possibility of their use as a cell …

В обзоре приведены современные представления о роли воспаления при
ишемической болезни сердца. Исследования последних лет привели к формированию …

Hypoxia has been shown to activate the pleiotropic cytokine TNFα in the lung. TNFα in turn,
is known to induce pulmonary vasoconstriction. Additional effects of this cytokine in hypoxia …

The aim of the study was to determine whether progression of heart failure is associated with
deterioration of cardiomyocyte function. Cell dimensions, contractility and calcium transients …

Background: Right ventricular (RV) function is an important determinant of post‐operative
outcome. Consequences of RV infarction might be limited by pre‐conditioning with volatile …

Coronary plaque rupture mediating acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction
(STEMI) is associated with a systemic inflammatory response. Whether early temporal …

Myocardial infarction (MI) can induce severe alterations of contractile function that can, in
turn, lead to heart failure. In a previous study, we have demonstrated that TNF-α was …

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of mortality due to progression to ventricular
arrhythmias (VAs) or heart failure (HF). Cardiac remodeling at the infarct border zone (IBZ) is …

Fibroblast growth in the scar and surviving tissue is a key element of the remodeling post
myocardial infarction. The regulation of fibroblast growth after acute myocardial infarction …

Objective. This study examined the effects of growth hormone (GH) on infarct size, survival,
and cardiac gene expression in rats with acute myocardial infarction. Design. Animals …
