TL;DR: CaMKII inhibition substantially prevented maladaptive remodeling from excessive βAR stimulation and myocardial infarction, and induced balanced changes in excitation-contraction coupling that preserved baseline and βAR-stimulated physiological increases in cardiac function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice by bone marrow transplantation
TL;DR: Apolipoprotein E-deficient mice given transplants of normal bone marrow showed virtually complete protection from diet-induced atherosclerosis and apoE was detected in serum and promoted clearance of lipoproteins and normalization of serum cholesterol levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathology of fatal perioperative myocardial infarction: implications regarding pathophysiology and prevention
TL;DR: Predicting the site of infarction based on severity of underlying stenosis would have been unsuccessful in more than half the patients in both perioperative and nonoperative MI groups, and the severity of preexisting underlying stenotic did not predict the resulting infarct territory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased atherosclerosis in mice reconstituted with apolipoprotein E null macrophages

TL;DR: Data support a protective role for apoE expression by the macrophage in early atherogenesis and exclude the possibility of a rebound in serum cholesterol levels or lipoprotein profiles after baseline atherosclerotic lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serial electrocardiographic changes in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy confirmed at necropsy

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of predicting heart weight using 12-lead QRS amplitudes was described and the results showed that using body surface area and QRS amplitude criteria increases the accuracy of heart weight prediction.
