I grew up and began my career in Brazil, where access to health care and education—especially in low-resource settings—was ...

By creating artificial aging in mice, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been able to track the formation of ...

Improved heart function with sacubitril/valsartan was linked to enhanced ventricular-arterial coupling and cardiac efficiency ...

Real time left ventricular (LV) pressure-volume (P-V) loops have provided a framework for understanding cardiac mechanics in experimental animals and humans [1]. Conductance measurements have been ...

A new study has shown that mangoes reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels significantly in postmenopausal women, with potential heart health benefits.

where a and b denote the start and end positions of the loop, respectively. The loop is “closed” by setting v i + 1 and p i + 1 to v a and p a when i = b. Multiple PV loops were generated by altering ...

At maximum dose, loop diuretics can lead to excretion of up to 20%-25% of filtered sodium. [9, 10] The main loop diuretics used in the United States are furosemide, bu-metanide, and torsemide.

This study develops a system to obtain continuous blood pressure signal and impedance plethysmography (IPG) signal, simultaneously. Based on the principle of impedance measurement, the peripheral ...

Background The relationship between speckle tracking assessed global longitudinal strain (GLS) and Doppler-based echocardiography with basic physiological markers of cardiac function derived from ...

In addition to instantaneous LV volumes and pressure, this software calculates load-independent parameters of LV contractility: 16 The end-systolic PV relationship (ESPVR) represents the ratio of LV ...
