BACKGROUND Erection is an hemodynamic event and accordingly, erectile dysfunction is closely related with ischemic heart diseases. Sufficient study has yet to be made of this relation. METHOD Fifty-eight patients with erectile dysfunction participated in the present study. Intracavernous injection tests and color Doppler examination were conducted for assessment of erectile function. For pati...

There may be a pathological connection between cardiac failure and ischemic stroke. In this article we describe pertinent research that demonstrates subsequent death of cardiac and neural myocytes in the post ischemic stroke brain. Current stroke therapy overlooks the connection between cardiac and cerebrovascular events and fails to address the shared risk factors. Current pre-clinical stroke ...

Abstract Purpose Cardiac tissue engineering opens up opportunities for regenerative therapy in heart diseases. Current technologies improve engineered cardiac characteristics by combining human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) with non-cardiomyocytes, selective biomaterials, and additional growth factors. Animal models are still required to determine patches’ ove...
