Nuclear hypertrophy reflects increased biosynthetic activities in myocytes of human hypertrophic hearts.
BACKGROUND The nucleus of the myocytes in human hypertrophic hearts is characterized by its bizarre shape and widespread clumping of chromatin. The functional significance has not been determined. METHODS AND RESULTS Left ventricular (LV) endomyocardial biopsies obtained from patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM, n=23), postmyocarditis (n=13), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM, n=21), api...
متن کاملNatriuretic Peptide in Human Hypertrophic Ventricle of Hypertensive Hearts and Hearts With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
To investigate the ventricular expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in human hypertrophic hearts, we conducted an immunohistochemical study of 130 endomyocardial biopsy specimens obtained from the right side of the ventricular septum (RVB), left ventricular free wall (LVB), or both from a total of 80 patients: 44 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), 14 with apical hypertro...

متن کاملMyocytes die by multiple mechanisms in failing human hearts.
We tested the hypothesis that myocyte loss in failing human hearts occurs by different mechanisms: apoptosis, oncosis, and autophagic cell death. Explanted hearts from 19 patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (EF< or =20%) and 7 control hearts were analyzed. Myocyte apoptosis revealed by caspase-3 activation and TUNEL staining occurred at a rate of 0.002+/-0.0005% (P<0.05 versus contr...
متن کاملPathological features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without asymmetrical septal hypertrophy.
In a heart with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without asymmetrical septal hypertrophy the number of transmural myocytes, the mean size of myocytes, and the percentage area of interstitial space were similar in the ventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall, whereas in a reported series of 14 hearts with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with asymmetrical septal hypertrophy the number of tra...
