Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D supplementation improves cytokine profiles in patients with congestive heart failure: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial

TL;DR: Vitamin D(3) reduces the inflammatory milieu in CHF patients and might serve as a new antiinflammatory agent for the future treatment of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low vitamin D status: a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of congestive heart failure?

TL;DR: The low vitamin D status can explain alterations in mineral metabolism as well as myocardial dysfunction in the CHF patients, and it may therefore be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of CHF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ranolazine improves diastolic dysfunction in isolated myocardium from failing human hearts--role of late sodium current and intracellular ion accumulation.

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that the novel anti-ischemic drug ranolazine could reduce intracellular [Na(+)](i) and diastolic [Ca(2+)] (i) overload and improve diastolics function suggests that it may be of therapeutic benefit in conditions of diastsolic dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novacor left ventricular assist system versus Heartmate vented electric left ventricular assist system as a long-term mechanical circulatory support device in bridging patients: a prospective study.

TL;DR: Most patients had organ recovery with left ventricular assist system support, and a considerable number of patients in both groups underwent transplantation, and both devices need revision to address the current problems, that is, thromboembolism for the Novacor device and infection and reliability for the HeartMate device.
Journal ArticleDOI

Poor outcome in end-stage heart failure patients with low circulating calcitriol levels.

TL;DR: Vitamin D receptor knockout mice develop typical signs of congestive heart failure and low concentrations of the vitamin D hormone calcitriol are found in stable CHF patients.
