Journal ArticleDOI

Does ministernotomy improve postoperative outcome in aortic valve operation? A prospective randomized study

TL;DR: The results showed that ministernotomy had not only important cosmetic advantages but also beneficial effects in blood loss and transfusion, postoperative pain, and probably in sternal stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the Hyperpolarization-Activated Current, If, in Ventricular Myocytes From Human Failing Heart

TL;DR: Its electrophysiological characteristics resemble those previously described in hypertrophied rat LVMs and suggest that I(f) could be an arrhythmogenic mechanism in patients with severe heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

The properties of the pacemaker current I(F)in human ventricular myocytes are modulated by cardiac disease.

TL;DR: I(f) is overexpressed in human ventricular myocytes from failing hearts; its functional expression seems related to the etiology of the disease, being higher in ischemic than in dilated cardiomyopathy, and not to the degree of cell hypertrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac growth factors in human hypertrophy relations with myocardial contractility and wall stress

TL;DR: The present results indicate that the course of human left ventricular hypertrophy is characterized by the participation of different cardiac growth factors that are selectively related both to the type of hemodynamic overload and to ventricular function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective Upregulation of Cardiac Endothelin System in Patients With Ischemic but Not Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Endothelin-1 System in the Human Failing Heart

TL;DR: The present results show that human ventricular myocytes express all of the components of the ET-1 system, which is selectively upregulated in ICM patients and appears to be functionally important in the maintenance of cardiac function.
