The review article, “Mitochondrial Mechanisms in Septic Cardiomyopathy” by Cimolai and colleagues, examines the role that mitochondria may play in the pathogenesis of cardiac dysfunction, a well-described, life-threatening complication in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Despite current therapies that mostly aim to reduce systemic infection and inflammation, sepsis remains the bigg...
Although low-energy extracorporeal cardiac shock wave (ECSW) therapy represents an attractive non-invasive treatment option for ischaemic heart disease, the precise mechanisms of its action and influence on the cardiac tissue remain obscure. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of SW application on cardiac function and structure. Four-month-old Fisher 344 rats were subjected to EC...
Background—Myocarditis is an important cause for cardiac failure, especially in younger patients, followed by the development of cardiac dysfunction and death. The present study investigated whether gene deletion of matrix metalloproteinase-2 influences cardiac inflammation and function in murine coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)–induced myocarditis. Methods and Results— Matrix metalloproteinase-2 knock...
BACKGROUND Thoracic and cardiac irradiation increases the risk of pulmonary and cardiovascular disease. In addition, radiation, often in combination with chemotherapy, can cause treatment-related pneumonitis. Previously, we showed that the common marker for cardiac damage, troponin T, was not elevated by chemoradiation [Lung Cancer 62:351-355, 2008]. In this study, we explore whether dose-volum...
Cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes (CREG) is a secreted glycoprotein of 220 amino acids. It has been proposed that CREG acts as a ligand that enhances differentiation and/or reduces cell proliferation. CREG has been shown previously to attenuate cardiac hypertrophy in vitro. However, such a role has not been determined in vivo. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that overexp...
BACKGROUND The biphasic inflammation after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) plays an important role in myocardial healing and progression of systemic atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of fever during the first and second phases of post-STEMI inflammation on long-term cardiac outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 550 patients with STEM...
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a simple, inexpensive, and unique laboratory parameter. This hematologic parameter reflecting the heterogeneity of red size was used conventionally to differentiate anemic diseases but currently as prognostic marker common well cardiac diseases. Higher RDW associated with lower therapeutic response in patients acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutane...
BACKGROUND The aetiology and clinical significance of troponin release following endurance exercise is unclear but may be due to transient myocardial inflammation. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) affords us the opportunity to evaluate the presence of myocardial inflammation and focal fibrosis and is the ideal imaging modality to study this hypothesis. We sought to correlate the relation...
Inflammation contributes significantly to cardiac dysfunction. Although the initial phase of inflammation is essential for repair and healing, excessive proinflammatory cytokines are detrimental to the heart. We found that adenine nucleotide translocator isoform-1 (ANT1) protein levels were significantly decreased in the inflamed heart of C57BL/6 mice following cecal ligation and puncture. To u...
