Cardiac neural crest: the holy grail of cardiac abnormalities?
See article by Conway et al. [1] (pages 314 –328) in pharyngeal arch 6) is referred to as the cardiac neural crest. this issue. This part is called cardiac neural crest because it provides mesenchymal cells to the heart and the great arteries. In this issue of Cardiovascular Research the group of Moreover, the cardiac neural crest not only contributes Conway presents convincing data showing tha...
متن کاملTo Seek the Holy Grail of Cardiac Progenitor Cells
Discoveries in cardiovascular stem cell biology, myocyte regeneration, and cell transplantation have enormous clinical potentials, yet the field is embroiled in amusing controversies. The existence of cardiac myocyte progenitor cells (CPCs) in the adult heart, let alone the identity of the genuine CPCs, has been debated and so has the relevance of the primary candidate, namely the resident card...
متن کاملSearching for mechanical abnormalities in subjects with early repolarization pattern: another Holy Grail of cardiac imaging?
Early repolarization pattern (ERP) may not be the entirely benign condition it was initially thought to be. In a recent metaanalysis, it was associated with increased risk and low to intermediate absolute incidence rate of arrhythmia death (1). However, the vast majority of subjects with ERP will never experience any malignant arrhythmia during their lifetime, and therefore, ability to identify...
متن کاملFate of the mammalian cardiac neural crest.
A subpopulation of neural crest termed the cardiac neural crest is required in avian embryos to initiate reorganization of the outflow tract of the developing cardiovascular system. In mammalian embryos, it has not been previously experimentally possible to study the long-term fate of this population, although there is strong inference that a similar population exists and is perturbed in a numb...
متن کاملPursuing the "Holy Grail".
Over the past decade, several large, randomized trials have allowed us to better define the appropriate population for primary prevention implantable cardioverterdefibrillator (ICD) placement, saving thousands of lives every year. MADIT II (Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial II) and SCD-HeFT (Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Trial) have demonstrated a survival benefit o...
