Cyclophosphamide-Induced Cardiomyopathy
Cyclophosphamide is increasingly used to treat various types of cancers and autoimmune conditions. Higher doses of this drug may produce significant cardiac toxicity, including fatal hemorrhagic myocarditis. In this review, we present a case of cyclophosphamide-induced cardiomyopathy requiring mechanical circulatory support. We also describe the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and ris...
متن کاملApoptosis contributes to amphotericin B-induced nephrotoxicity.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether apoptosis contributes to nephrotoxicity caused by amphotericin B (AmB). By detecting apoptosis-specific DNA fragmentation, it is demonstrated that proximal tubular cells (LLC-PK(1)) and medullary interstitial cells (RMIC) respond with programmed cell death when treated with therapeutic doses of AmB. Concomitant application of AmB and recombinant ...
متن کاملCD36 expression contributes to age-induced cardiomyopathy in mice.
BACKGROUND Cardiac remodeling and impaired cardiac performance in the elderly significantly increase the risk of developing heart disease. Although vascular abnormalities associated with aging contribute to the age-related decline in cardiac function, myocardium-specific events may also be involved. METHODS AND RESULTS We show that intramyocardial lipid accumulation, as well as a reduction in...
متن کاملINTERFERON INDUCED CARDIOMYOPATHY: CASE REPORTS
There are few reports concerning interferon induced myocardial dysfunction. A known case of multiple myeloma who was receiving interferon alpha (IFA) for 14 months was brought to the emergency room in frank: pulmonary edema. After treatment of heart failure and discontinuation of interferon alpha, he remained asymptomatic thereafter. Another case of chronic active hepatitis on IFA complain...
متن کاملCalpain activation contributes to hyperglycaemia-induced apoptosis in cardiomyocytes.
AIMS Cardiomyocyte apoptosis contributes to cardiac complications of diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of calpain in cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by hyperglycaemia. METHODS AND RESULTS In cultured adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes, high glucose (33 mM) increased calpain activity and induced apoptosis, concomitant with the impairment of Na+/K+ ATPase activity. T...
