Journal ArticleDOI
Negative inotropic effects of cytokines on the heart mediated by nitric oxide
Mitchell S. Finkel,Carmine V. Oddis,Timothy D. Jacob,Simon C. Watkins,Brack G. Hattler,Richard L. Simmons +5 more
TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that the direct negative inotropic effect of cytokines is mediated through a myocardial nitric oxide synthase, and the regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and myocardia nitricoxide synthase may provide new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of cardiac disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Paroxetine and Nortriptyline in Depressed Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease
Steven P. Roose,Fouzia Laghrissi-Thode,John S. Kennedy,J. Craig Nelson,J. Thomas Bigger,Bruce G. Pollock,Andrew Gaffney,Meena Narayan,Mitchell S. Finkel,James P. McCafferty,Ivan Gergel +10 more
TL;DR: Paroxetine and nortriptyline are effective treatments for depressed patients with ischemic heart disease and are associated with a significantly higher rate of serious adverse cardiac events compared with paroxetines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated platelet factor 4 and β-thromboglobulin plasma levels in depressed patients with ischemic heart disease
Fouzia Laghrissi-Thode,William R. Wagner,Bruce G. Pollock,Peter C. Johnson,Mitchell S. Finkel +4 more
TL;DR: This study investigated the hypothesis that patients suffering from ischemic heart disease and depression concurrently may have abnormal platelet activation resulting in an increased risk of thrombosis.
Journal Article
Paroxetine is a novel nitric oxide synthase inhibitor
TL;DR: Paroxetine appears to be a novel NOS inhibitor in vitro and in vivo and reversed the force-frequency relationship in isolated hamster papillary muscles in a manner analogous to that of known NOS inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a mediator of stunned myocardium.
Mitchell S. Finkel,Rosemary A. Hoffman,Li Shen,Carmine V. Oddis,Richard L. Simmons,Brack G. Hattler +5 more
TL;DR: The frequency of myocardial stunning after cardiopulmonary bypass provided an ideal opportunity to assay the levels as well as the inotropic effects of these cytokines in human hearts.
