Poor skeletal muscle performance was shown to strongly predict mortality and long-term
prognosis in a variety of diseases, including heart failure (HF). Despite the known benefits of …

Rodent surgical animal models of heart failure (HF) are critically important for understanding
the proof of principle of the cellular alterations underlying the development of the disease as …

Background Information on the role of intermittent fasting (IF) on pathologic cardiac
remodeling is scarce. We compared the effects of IF before and after myocardial infarction …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of tomato or lycopene
supplementation on cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). Male Wistar rats …

Clinical trials have shown that sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors improve
clinical outcomes in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. As most studies were performed in …

Introduction: Exercise is an important therapeutic strategy for preventing and treating
myocardial infarction (MI)-induced cardiac remodeling and heart failure. However, the …

Background: Chronic heart failure is characterized by decreased exercise capacity with
early exacerbation of fatigue and dyspnea. Intrinsic skeletal muscle abnormalities can play a …

Although current guidelines recommend resistance exercise in combination with aerobic
training to increase muscle strength and prevent skeletal muscle loss during cardiac …

The present study explored the effects of thyroid hormone (TH) treatment on post-ischemic
cardiac function and potential implicated mechanisms. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) …

Background Physical exercise attenuates myocardial infarction (MI)-induced cardiac
remodeling. However, it is unsettled whether late exercise modulates post-infarction cardiac …
