Metabolic mechanisms in heart failure.
Although neurohumoral antagonism has successfully reduced heart failure morbidity and mortality, the residual disability and death rate remains unacceptably high. Though abnormalities of myocardial metabolism are associated with heart failure, recent data suggest that heart failure may itself promote metabolic changes such as insulin resistance, in part through neurohumoral activation. A detrim...
متن کاملImmune Issues and Mechanisms in Cancer
The immunologic defense mechanism is well demontrated in neoplasia of animals and human. Spontaneous regression of many human tumors such as malignant melanomas, 1vmphosarcomas, neuroblastomas choriocarcinomas, adenocarcinomas and leukemias is due to the defense mechanism of lymphoretrcular system. The discovery of carcinoembrvonicantigen in carcinoma of gastrointestinal tract and the alpha-f...
متن کاملImmune-inflammatory activation in heart failure.
Despite being relatively recent, a growing and significant accumulation of experimental and clinical evidence has been observed that points to a gradual state of immune-inflammatory activation in patients with heart failure (HF). High levels of several cytokines are found in the circulation and cardiac muscle of individuals with HF, and invariably correlate with the severity of the disease. The...
متن کاملMechanisms of diastolic dysfunction in heart failure.
Abnormalities of diastole are common to most forms of congestive heart failure (HF). Diastolic function is broadly defined as the ability of the heart to fill adequately and at normal pressure to charge the ventricular pump for each subsequent contraction. It is determined by both active and passive processes occurring at the level of the myocyte, extracellular matrix, and left ventricular cham...
متن کاملMechanisms of Wasting in Heart Failure
It has been established for centuries that body wasting and changes in body composition play important roles in patients with chronic diseases. This is also true for patients with heart failure (HF).1 For clinicians not actively involved in this area of research, however, it may be difficult to decipher the complex and sometimes confusing terminology used in this context. Cachexia, body wasting...
