Body composition in experimental congestive heart failure.
• Body fluid and electrolyte composition in congestive heart failure has been studied by the metabolic balance technique," by analysis of skeletal muscle and other tissues' ~ and by the administration of tracer substances," but not by whole body analysis. As part of another study evaluating the effects of digitalis-like compounds on myocardial composition, we thought it appropriate to analyze c...
متن کاملCongestive Heart Failure: Experimental Model
INTRODUCTION Surgically induced, combined volume and pressure overload has been used in rabbits to create a simplified and reproducible model of acute left ventricular (LV) failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS New Zealand white male rabbits (n = 24, mean weight 3.1 ± 0.2 kg) were randomly assigned to either the Control group (n = 10) or to the Heart Failure group (HF, n = 14). Animals in the Contro...
متن کاملCONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE IN CHILDREN: A SURVEY OF 114 PATIENTS
During a period of four years between June, IS, 1988 to June, IS, 1992 one hundred and fourteen patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were admitted to the pediatric department of Taleghani General Hospital. During the above period, 192 patients with heart disease were hospitalized at this department and CHF was the cause of admission in 59.4% of them. Congenital heart disease (CHO) w...
متن کاملPulmonary endothelinergic system in experimental congestive heart failure.
OBJECTIVES Endothelin-1 (ET-1), plays an important role in the pathophysiology of CHF and the pulmonary endothelium is an early hemodynamic target in diastolic left ventricular dysfunction. Therefore we hypothesized that the lung is a main source of humoral endothelin in CHF and that its secretion is proportional to the degree of heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS We used rats with coronary a...
متن کاملAugmented cardiac cardiotrophin-1 in experimental congestive heart failure.
BACKGROUND Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) is a potent hypertrophic factor discovered by coupling expression cloning in a mouse embryonic stem cell-based model of cardiogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS The present study was designed to investigate the potential activation of atrial and ventricular CT-1 expression in pacing-induced experimental congestive heart failure (CHF) and its relationship to left ve...
