Journal ArticleDOI

A Simple Adaptive Transfer Function for Deriving the Central Blood Pressure Waveform from a Radial Blood Pressure Waveform.

TL;DR: The ATF was assessed using the original data that helped popularize the GTF and may permit more accurate, non-invasive central BP monitoring in elderly and hypertensive patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Model of Constrictive Pericarditis Associated With Autoimmune Heart Disease in Interferon-γ–Knockout Mice

TL;DR: It was found that the acute phase of experimental autoimmune myocarditis in IFN-γ–KO mice was characterized by reduced left ventricular volumes compared with wild-type mice, and pericarditis was responsible for smaller LV volumes, reduced cardiac output, increased cardiac stiffness, and increased peak filling rate adjusted for end-diastolic volumes in KO mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lack of nitric oxide synthase depresses ion transporting enzyme function in cardiac muscle.

TL;DR: The experimental results suggest that disrupted endogenous NO* production may change local redox conditions and lead to an unbalanced free radical homeostasis in cardiac muscle cells which, in turn, may affect key enzyme activities and membrane ion active transport systems in the heart.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imaging cardiac resynchronization therapy.

TL;DR: Nonsynchrony markers that seem promising include assessment of the location and extent of myocardial scar and imaging of the coronary venous and phrenic nerve anatomy and potential new contributors to the assessment of mechanical synchrony include echocardiographic and magnetic resonance techniques.
