Importance of cardiac reserve for evaluation and prediction of cardiac function and morbidity assessed by low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography
(2007-05-22)
This thesis aimed to evaluate the cardiac reserves capacity to be used to predict treatment effects, sub clinical heart disease and to evaluate b1-adrenoceptor (AR) gene polymorphism (Ser49Gly).
Studies were performed ...
The importance of long axis function -an echocardiographic study with respect to ageing, response to treatment, prediction of survival and effect of warm water immersion
(2008-10-17)
Echocardiographic M-mode measurement of atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) and determination of annular velocity with Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a reliable method to gauge ventricular long axis function for ...
Myocardial metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure
(2008-02-15)
Abstract
The heart is an organ heavily dependent on exogenous lipids for the oxidative production of adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) and therefore maintenance of normal cellular energy homeostasis. However, high energy ...
Pathophysiological role and clinical relevance of cytokines in hypertensive heart failure. A combined clinical and experimental study
(2007-12-06)
Although mortality due to heart failure has decreased significantly in the last decade since the introduction of ACE-inhibitors and β-adrenergic receptor blockers in the management of heart failure, chronic heart failure ...
