INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have associated heart failure (HF) of ischemic etiology with worse prognosis compared to HF from non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. HF treatment has evolved significantly in recent years. Has this evolution had an impact on this prognostic gap? OBJECTIVE: The aim of our stud...
Recent studies have cast doubt on the benefit of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with defibrillation (CRT-D) versus pacing (CRT-P) for patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). Left ventricular myocardial scar portends poor clinical outcomes. Objectives The aim of this study was to...
Because our cohort consisted of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy clinically referred for CMR investigation, we accept that it may be subject to referral bias. However, our study population had similar demographic characteristics, medication usage, and disease severity profile compared with those ...
Interestingly, curcumin may be able to ameliorate psychological manifestations of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity as well. In a randomized controlled trial, a highly bioavailable form of curcumin was found to be as effective as the standard antidepressant medication fluoxetine (Prozac) ...
Hello, I’m Frank, I’m a 79-year-old male with DM, CKD, and PAD. I am an ischemic cardiomyopathy patient with reduced LV function, and have an AICD. I’ve had a previous MI and CABGx2 years ago and now with failed grafts. ...
the significant association between baseline hepcidin concentrations and the long-term risk of all-cause mortality and nonfatal cardiovascular events persisted after adjusting for established cardiovascular risk factors, medication use (also including statin and antiplatelet medication use), plasma hs-CRP, ...
SERCA2 Oxidative posttranslational modification Myocardial fibrosis Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy 1. Introduction Calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis is crucial for cell contraction and relaxation [1]; thus, cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c) levels are tightly regulated during the normal contraction-relaxation cycle in the...
Furthermore, this treatment is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the effectiveness of medication is often unsatisfactory. Although surgical treatment has a short treatment period, it is expensive, and there is a risk of bleeding, infection, and recurrence, which increase the physical and ...
