Cardiology Is Flow

Cardiology is flow.

Cardiology is about flow. The primary purpose of the cardiovascular system is to drive, control, and maintain blood flow to all parts of the body. Flow dictates the form and function of the heart and blood vessels through ontogenic and phylogenic development, the structural and functional consequence of repair, and in its end stages, remodeling and response to failure. Flow should therefore be ...

Molecular Cardiology Flow-Dependent Regulation of Krüppel-Like Factor 2 Is Mediated by MicroRNA-92a

Background—Upregulated by atheroprotective flow, the transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) is crucial for maintaining endothelial function. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding small RNAs that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. We examined the role of miRNAs, particularly miR-92a, in the atheroprotective flow–regulated KLF2. Methods and Results—Dicer knockdown in...

HISTORY OF CARDIOLOGY How electricity was discovered and how it is related to cardiology

Evaluation of the cardiology curriculum based on the opinions of the assistants of cardiology

Background: Revision and promotion of educational programs, as well as guiding such programs from the traditional to modern ones, have been one of the goals of educational planning in order to improve the educational status. The present study was performed based on the opinions of the cardiology assistants.   Methods:  This research was a cross sectional study and all the participants included ...
