TL;DR: The term "vulnerable patient" may be more appropriate and is proposed now for the identification of subjects with high likelihood of developing cardiac events in the near future and a quantitative method for cumulative risk assessment of vulnerable patients needs to be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-infrared fluorescence microscopy of single-walled carbon nanotubes in phagocytic cells.
TL;DR: The uptake of pristine single-walled carbon nanotube into macrophage-like cells has been studied using the nanotubes' intrinsic near-infrared fluorescence to occur through phagocytosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiate into an Endothelial Phenotype, Enhance Vascular Density, and Improve Heart Function in a Canine Chronic Ischemia Model
Guilherme V. Silva,Silvio H. Litovsky,Joao A.R. Assad,Andre L.S. Sousa,Bradley J. Martin,Deborah Vela,Stephanie Coulter,Jing Lin,Judy Ober,William K. Vaughn,Rodrigo Branco,Edie M. Oliveira,Rumin He,Yong-Jian Geng,James T. Willerson,Emerson C. Perin +15 more
TL;DR: In a canine chronic ischemia model, MSCs differentiated into smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells, resulting in increased vascularity and improved cardiac function in the treated group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity within the ventricular wall. Electrophysiology and pharmacology of epicardial, endocardial, and M cells.

TL;DR: In spite of important advances in cardiology in recent years, pharmacological control of cardiac arrhythmias in the clinic remains an experiment conducted on a patient-by-patient basis using a trial and error approach tempered by good clinical judgment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transient outward current prominent in canine ventricular epicardium but not endocardium.
TL;DR: The data demonstrate a marked heterogeneity of active membrane properties in canine ventricular muscle, which may aid in understanding the basis for rate-dependent changes in the T wave of the ECG, supernormal conduction in ventricular Muscle, the greater sensitivity of epicardium to ischemia, and the rate dependence of some cardiac arrhythmias.
