Common genetic variation in the 3'-BCL11B gene desert is associated with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and excess cardiovascular disease risk : the AortaGen Consortium

Gary F. Mitchell, +82 more
TL;DR: Common genetic variation in a locus in the 3′-BCL11B gene desert that is thought to harbor 1 or more gene enhancers is associated with higher CFPWV and increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular ATP has a potent effect to enhance cystolic calcium and contractility in single ventricular myocytes

TL;DR: In rat cardiac myocytes ATP stimulates trans-sarcolemmal influx of Ca2+: ADP, AMP and adenosine are ineffective and ATP markedly augments the amplitude of the Cai transient elicited by electrical stimulation thus rendering it a potent inotropic agent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modern concepts concerning the origin of the heartbeat.

TL;DR: A review of the present paradigm is presented, including a look back at important steps that led to where the authors are today, alongside a glimpse into the exciting future of pacemaker research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Independent and additive effects of cytokine patterns and the metabolic syndrome on arterial aging in the SardiNIA Study.

TL;DR: The co-occurrence of both MetS and higher cytokines levels was associated with greater increases in arterial stiffness and thickness, suggesting a possible synergistic effect ofmetabolic syndrome and inflammation on the arterial wall.
