New molecular mechanism in diastolic heart failure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In contrast to systolic heart failure (SHF), for which knowledge of pathophysiology and therapy has advanced rapidly over the past decade, little is known about diastolic heart failure (DHF). The article by van Heerebeek et al1 in this issue of Circulation that describes an abnormal distribution of titin isoforms in DHF may herald a new approach to understanding the pathophysiology of this syndrome.

Prevalence of Heart Failure in the Cases of Beta-thalassemia Major; Two Years Follow-Up
Inroduction: Heart failure (HF) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the cases of Beta-thalassemia major. The purpose of this study was to estimate HF prevalence in these patients and to assess the survivability of those who were treated with intensive chelating therapy. Design and methods: This cross sectional study included 72 beta-thalassemia major cases, the mean age at t...
متن کاملChanges in the structure of the heart and blood pressure after a period of concurrent endurance-resistance training in patients with chronic heart failure
Background: Exercise improves functional capacity by improving endothelial function and musculoskeletal aerobic metabolism, but its effects on hemodynamic control are not well known. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic and resistance trainings on structural changes and blood pressure in patients with heart failure. Materials and methods: 76 patients aged 65 to 79 year...

Abstract Background: Diastolic heart failure comprises 50 percent of cases of heart failure. The implications of increased levels of cardiac troponin I (CTnI) on congestive heart failure with preserved systolic function (AHF PEF) have been poorly evaluated. We hypothesized that its level might be elevated in AHF PEF so this evaluation was done in patients referred to Taleghani hospital with ...
متن کاملNovel mechanism and role of angiotensin II induced vascular endothelial injury in hypertensive diastolic heart failure.
OBJECTIVE The mechanism and role of angiotensin II-induced vascular endothelial injury is unclear. We examined the molecular mechanism of angiotensin (AII)-induced vascular endothelial injury and its significance for hypertensive diastolic heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS We compared the effect of valsartan and amlodipine on Dahl salt-sensitive hypertensive rats (DS rats). Valsartan improve...
متن کاملNew concepts in diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure: Part I: diagnosis, prognosis, and measurements of diastolic function.
There is growing recognition that congestive heart failure (CHF) caused by a predominant abnormality in diastolic function (ie, diastolic heart failure) is both common and causes significant morbidity and mortality. However, there is continued controversy surrounding the definition of diastolic dysfunction and the diagnostic criteria for diastolic heart failure. As a result, clinical therapeuti...
