Left ventricular wall stress normalization in chronic pressure-overloaded heart: a mathematical model study.
It is generally accepted that the left ventricle (LV) hypertrophies (LVH) to normalize systolic wall stress (sigma(s)) in chronic pressure overload. However, LV filling pressure (P(v)) may be elevated as well, supporting the alternative hypothesis of end-diastolic wall stress (sigma(d)) normalization in LVH. We used an LV time-varying elastance model coupled to an arterial four-element lumped-p...
متن کاملCollagen remodeling of the pressure-overloaded, hypertrophied nonhuman primate myocardium.
Cardiac muscle is tethered within a fibrillar collagen matrix that serves to maximize force generation. In the human pressure-overloaded, hypertrophied left ventricle, collagen concentration is known to be increased; however, the structural and biochemical remodeling of collagen and its relation to cell necrosis and myocardial mechanics is less clear. Accordingly, this study was undertaken in a...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation
Extended abstract Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important, leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as in renal transplant recipients. Cardiovascular complications become more important in children because of the i...
متن کاملInhibition of transforming growth factor-beta signaling induces left ventricular dilation and dysfunction in the pressure-overloaded heart.
This study utilized a transgenic mouse model that expresses an inducible dominant-negative mutation of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta type II receptor (DnTGFbetaRII) to define the structural and functional responses of the left ventricle (LV) to pressure-overload stress in the absence of an intact TGF-beta signaling cascade. DnTGFbetaRII and nontransgenic (NTG) control mice (male, 8-...
متن کاملNorepinephrine release and left ventricular pressure in the isolated heart.
In an isolated dog heart, perfused with blood from an anesthetized donor, left ventricular performance was observed during periods in which the left ventricle either contracted isovolumically or was allowed to eject saline. Heart rate and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure were comparable in both. Ventricular performance, as judged by peak systolic ventricular pressure, declined relatively...
