In adults with congenital heart disease coronary arterial anatomy, normal as well as anomalous, may have implications in surgical reconstruction of an underlying cardiac structure. In addition to the diagnostic imaging, necessary in surgery...
Aorta remodeling responses to distinct atherogenic stimuli: hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and turbulent flow/low wall shear stress [0.03%]
主动脉对不同动脉硬化刺激的重塑反应：高血压、高胆固醇和湍流/低剪切应力

This review is based on recently published data from our laboratory. We investigated the role of hypertension and laminar flow, hypercholesterolemia and laminar flow and turbulent blood flow/low wall shear stress, and turbulent blood flow/l...
The ability of heart failure specialists to accurately predict NT-proBNP levels based on clinical assessment and a previous NT-proBNP measurement [0.03%]

To determine if cardiogenesis causes endoplasmic reticulum stress, we examined chaperone expression. Many cardiac pathologies cause activation of the fetal gene program, and we asked the reverse: could activation of the fetal gene program d...
Calculation of left ventricular relaxation time constant-Tau in patients with aortic regurgitation by continuous-wave Doppler [0.03%]

OBJECT OR PURPOSE OF STUDY: As the field of view of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) includes the thorax and upper abdomen, it is not surprising that these studies can reveal incidental extra-cardiac abnormalities. The purpose of th...
