Comorbidity of chronic diseases in general practice

TL;DR: The aim of this study is to describe the extent of comorbidity for the following diseases: hypertension, chronic ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic nonspecific lung disease, osteoarthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased Ca2+-sensitivity of the contractile apparatus in end-stage human heart failure results from altered phosphorylation of contractile proteins

TL;DR: The increased Ca(2+)-responsiveness of the contractile apparatus in end-stage failing human hearts cannot be explained by a shift in contractile protein isoforms, but results from the complex interplay between changes in the phosphorylation status of MLC-2 and TnI.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of myosin light chain 2 dephosphorylation on Ca2+-sensitivity of force is enhanced in failing human hearts

TL;DR: Surprisingly, the contractile response to MLC-2 dephosphorylation is enhanced in failing hearts, despite the reduced level of basal M LC-2 phosphorylation, suggesting a potential compensatory mechanism to reverse the detrimental effects of increased Ca( 2+)-sensitivity and impaired Ca(2+)-handling on diastolic function in human heart failure.
