Augmented phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I in hypertensive heart failure.
An altered cardiac myofilament response to activating Ca(2+) is a hallmark of human heart failure. Phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is critical in modulating contractility and Ca(2+) sensitivity of cardiac muscle. cTnI can be phosphorylated by protein kinase A (PKA) at Ser(22/23) and protein kinase C (PKC) at Ser(22/23), Ser(42/44), and Thr(143). Whereas the functional significance ...
متن کاملNatriuretic peptide guided heart failure management.
BNP or NT-proBNP testing has dramatically changed the management of acute heart failure patients by aiding in early recognition, prognostication and treatment. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that natriuretic peptide testing may guide the therapy of the stable chronic heart failure patients in out-patient setting. We will review the understanding of utilizing natriuretic peptide testing ...
متن کاملCardiac troponin and outcome in acute heart failure.
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponin provides diagnostic and prognostic information in acute coronary syndromes, but its role in acute decompensated heart failure is unclear. The purpose of our study was to describe the association between elevated cardiac troponin levels and adverse events in hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure. METHODS We analyzed hospitalizations for acute ...
متن کاملHuge Intracavitary Cardiac Hyadatid Cyst Presenting with Heart Failure
Although cardiac involvement is an infrequent presentation in human hydatidosis, early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention of cardiac hydatid cyst are of utmost importance for the prevention of potential complications. We report a young female patient who presented with a huge cardiac hydatid cyst and severe heart failure symptoms undergoing successful surgical cyst removal with late fol...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity cardiac troponin T predicts non-cardiac mortality in heart failure.
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponins are independent predictors of cardiac mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). Recently, elevation of troponins was described in non-cardiac diseases such as stroke and infection, among others, but it remains unclear whether high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) predicts non-cardiac mortality in HF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Four-hundred and forty-four c...
