Reduction of cardiac fibrosis decreases systolic performance without affecting diastolic function in hypertensive rats.
Pressure-overload left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is characterized by an increase in myocyte size and fibrosis. However, it is not clear how each of these components affects hypertensive heart disease (HHD). We have shown in 2 different rat models of hypertension that cardiac fibrosis can be reduced with N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (Ac-SDKP), an antifibrotic peptide normally presen...
متن کاملDiastolic vibration improves systolic function in cases of incomplete relaxation.
BACKGROUND Incomplete relaxation of the left ventricle (LV) affects LV filling, but the subsequent effect on LV systolic function remains unclear. We attempted to improve relaxation by applying oscillatory mechanical perturbation during diastole (diastolic vibration) and examined the extent to which systolic function improved. METHODS AND RESULTS Using 10 open-chest canine preparations, pacin...
متن کاملLEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION
In order to identify left ventricular diastolic function in patients with betathalassemia major and normal systolic function by noninvasive M-mode and Doppler echocardiography, an analytic study was designed in a university hospital in Sari. We have studied 44 patients (23 men and 21 women), mean age 15.48±2.16 (range 12 to 20) and 43 age and sex matched control subjects. Peak flow velocit...
متن کاملRanolazine improves diastolic function in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Diastolic dysfunction can lead to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, for which there is no effective therapeutic. Ranolazine has been reported to reduce diastolic dysfunction, but the specific mechanisms of action are unclear. The effect of ranolazine on diastolic function was examined in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), where left ventricular relaxation is impaired and stif...
متن کاملRestoration of Coronary Endothelial Function In Obese Zucker Rats By A Low Carbohydrate Diet Focardi: Endothelial function and low carbohydrate diet
A popular diet used for weight reduction is the low carbohydrate diet, which has most calories derived from fat and protein, but effects of this dietary regimen on coronary vascular function have not been identified. We tested the hypothesis that obesity-induced impairment in coronary endothelial function is reversed by a low carbohydrate diet. We used 4 groups of male Zucker rats: lean and obe...
