TL;DR: Although percutaneous repair was less effective at reducing mitral regurgitation than conventional surgery, the procedure was associated with superior safety and similar improvements in clinical outcomes.

Journal Article
Stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in cultured endothelial cells subjected to cyclic stretch
TL;DR: The results indicate that there is a time-dependent increase in both basal and stimulated adenylate cyclase with cyclic deformation and suggest that there may be a "stretch receptor" coupled toAdenylates cyclase which can modulate endothelial cell function with hemodynamic changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arteriovenous malformation and gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with the HeartMate II left ventricular assist device.
Zumrut T. Demirozu,Rajko Radovancevic,Lyone F. Hochman,Igor D. Gregoric,George V. Letsou,George V. Letsou,Biswajit Kar,Roberta C. Bogaev,O.H. Frazier +8 more
TL;DR: Arteriovenous malformations can cause GI bleeding in patients with continuous-flow LVADs and in all cases in this series, GI bleeding was successfully managed without the need for surgical intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kesavan Shan,Roger J. Bick,Brian J. Poindexter,Sarah Shimoni,George V. Letsou,Michael J. Reardon,Jimmy F. Howell,William A. Zoghbi,Sherif F. Nagueh +8 more
TL;DR: Systolic myocardial velocity and Em are strongly dependent on both the number of myocytes and theMyocardial beta-adrenergic receptor density.
