  • A significant correlation was found between PBMC Rho-kinase activity and cardiac remodeling, specifically with hypertrophy ( r = 0.51, P ≤0.01), myocardial collagen ( r = 0.40, P ≤0.05) and ED1 immunostaining ( r = 0.48, P ≤0.01). (portlandpress.com)
  • Cardiac hypertrophy is an important and independent risk factor for the development of cardiac myopathy that may lead to heart failure. (mdpi.com)
  • The mechanisms underlying the development of cardiac hypertrophy are yet not well understood. (mdpi.com)
  • Coarctation of the Aorta Coarctation of the aorta is a localized narrowing of the aortic lumen that results in upper-extremity hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and, if severe, malperfusion of the abdominal. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The splitting of the pulmonary and systemic circulation is not fixed, for example, if the interest of the study is in systemic capillaries, the compartment accounting for the systemic capillaries can be added to the lumped parameter model. (wikipedia.org)
  • Robust spatio-Temporal registration of 4D cardiac ultrasound sequences. (uib.no)
  • Cardiovascular Ultrasound. (uib.no)
  • HCV-related factors did not appear to be associated with the risk of cardiovascular events. (natap.org)
  • Therefore, many studies have been devoted to modeling the cardiovascular system in order to better understand its behavior and find new reliable diagnosis techniques. (edu.sa)
  • The major goals of this project are to define cell type specific function and mechanisms of TGF-beta2 in development and progression of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection. (sc.edu)
  • These results were further cemented by carrying out a Bland-Altman analysis as well as a linear regression which demonstrate that the GTF estimated CAP are highly correlated with model-generated CAP with the carotid artery being the most preferable and femoral artery being the least preferable site of PP measurement.

  • The carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity directly reflected aortic pulse wave velocity [ 4 , 5 ]. (medsci.org)
