متن کاملگزارش یک مورد Peripartum Cardiomyopathy کاردیومیوپاتی برق‌آسا متعاقب زایمان و بهبودی کامل در پیگیری دو ساله
Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare and specific form of dilated and fatal cardiomyopathy which leads to systolic complication of the left ventricle. The disease usually begins slowly but its progression is fatal. Thus, the prognosis of the disease is often poor. Because of the low prevalence of the disease, extensive epidemiologic and clinical studies are not available. Few papers, most...
متن کاملInvestigation of Polymorphisms in Non-Coding Region of Human Mitochondrial DNA in 31 Iranian Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Patients
The D-loop region is a hot spot for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations, containing two hypervariable segments, HVS-I and HVS-II. In order to identify polymorphic sites and potential genetic background accounting for Hypertrophic CardioMyopathy (HCM) disease, the complete non-coding region of mtDNA from 31 unrelated HCM patients and 45 normal controls were sequenced. The sequences were aligne...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics
Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria. Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...
