One innovative approach to managing heart failure is through Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM), a device-based therapy that aims to enhance the heart's contractility without causing excessive ...

It appears that in cardiac muscle an inotropic shift of V max of the contractile element cannot be distinguished from a shift due to change in fiber length, thus invalidating it as an index of ...

Heart failure is a condition that occurs when the heart can’t pump as well as it should. This may happen when the heart muscle becomes weak or stiff. As a result, it doesn’t deliver enough blood to ...

Jan. 22, 2025 — A new national survey found that while many Americans use a device to monitor their heart, few share that data with their ... Jan. 19, 2025 — People with pockets of fat hidden ...

This fundamental work extends our understanding of the role of TGFβ2 as a modulator of mechanosensing in the eye and identifies the TRPV4 ion channel as a common regulator of Trabecular Meshwork (TM) ...

Our editors also may be in touch with follow-up questions. An elevated heart rate as a result of physical activity, such as going for a run, is common, but what should your heart rate look like at ...

Cardiac hypertrophy is the abnormal enlargement, or thickening, of the heart muscle, resulting from increases in cardiomyocyte size and changes in other heart muscle components, such as ...

Previous studies have shown that after autonomic blockade by propranolol and atropine, the intrinsic rate and contractile function of the heart were related in patients with myocardial ... were ...

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular volume, ventricular cycle length, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and measures of left ventricular afterload (end ...

The function of the heart is to pump the blood that bathes and nourishes every organ of the body. The blood carries the oxygen and nutrients vital to the tissues, and it also carries waste products ...
