Previously our group showed that prolonged caloric restriction decreases ectopic fat deposition and improves myocardial function in obese T2D patients without CAD27.
Byrne, M. J. et al. Recirculating cardiac delivery of AAV2/1SERCA2a improves myocardial function in an experimental model of heart failure in large animals.
The present study was designed to test whether engrafted embryonic stem cells could improve myocardial function in aging hearts.
Cardiac cell therapy has not yet resulted in long-term clinical benefits or major recovery of myocardial function in humans.
This study tested the hypothesis that linear mapping of regional myocardial strain comprehensively assesses variations in regional myocardial function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Objective: To analyze the effects of the pericardium on the length-dependent regulation of myocardial function in coronary artery surgery patients.
This study was designed to examine the effect of trehalose, an mTOR-independent autophagy inducer, on myocardial function in an Akt2 knockout-induced insulin resistance model.
The estimated displacement field must be reliable enough and insensitive to various artifacts to assess regional myocardial function in 3D from the accurate and precise computation of strain.
We concluded, therefore, that metoprolol treatment produced appreciable improvement of intracellular Ca2+ handling during ischemia reoxygenation cycles, and enhanced recovery of postischemic depressed myocardial function in both normal and postinfarction rat myocardium.
Assessment of myocardial longitudinal function has proved to be a sensitive marker of deteriorating myocardial function in aortic stenosis, demonstrated by both color Doppler tissue imaging and recently by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography.
Metoprolol treatment also reduced diastolic [Ca2+]i, ameliorated the depression of developed tension during ischemia, and enhanced recovery of postischemic depressed myocardial function in sham-operated and postinfarction rat papillary muscles.
