Previous studies indicate that myocardial infarction (MI) may contribute to atrial fibrillation
(AF). Emerging evidence has shown that pinocembrin protects myocardial ischemic injury …

Background We hypothesized that the rate and amount of infarct collagen deposition during
healing after myocardial infarction might influence ventricular remodeling in rat and dog …

Myocardial infarction induces sympathetic axon sprouting adjacent to the necrotic region,
and this has been implicated in the etiology of arrhythmias resulting in sudden cardiac …

The purpose of this study was to develop an in vivo imaging protocol for a high-resolution
stationary SPECT system, called FASTSPECT, in a rat heart model of ischemia-reperfusion …

Hypertrophy after myocardial infarction would be a very important process for compensation
of damaged myocardium and preservation of cardiac function. Fifty-four female Sprague …

Thyroid hormone (TH) levels decline after a myocardial infarction (MI). Treatment with TH
has been shown to improve left ventricular (LV) function in MI and other cardiovascular …

Ligation of the left coronary artery of an adult rat heart results in the reproducible ischemic
cell death of the entire free wall of the left ventricular myocardium. The time course of the …

In the current study, we compared purified Salvia miltiorrhiza extract (PSME) with
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, Ramipril, in in vitro experiments and also in vivo …

To determine the time course of changes in left ventricular diastolic properties after a large
myocardial infarction, we serially measured left ventricular relaxation, chamber stiffness, and …

Low-energy laser irradiation (LELI) has been found to modulate biological processes. The
present study investigated the effect of LELI on infarct size after chronic myocardial infarction …
