چکیده

wall thickness of 14 mm as stated in the caption of Figure 2. The incidence of intraventicular septal thickness of more than 13 mm (14 to 16 mm) was 11% (17 of 156 subjects) as stated in the Results section. The incidence of either the intraventricular septal wall or left ventricular free wall being more than 13 mm was actually higher (13%; 20 of 156 subjects). The findings presented in our study demonstrate the chamber size, wall thickness, and ejection fraction of elite professional American football players in the NFL. Because both the size and the types of physical effort of these players are different from those of bodybuilders, rowers, canoists, or cyclists, we believe these observations will be useful in separating physiologic adaptations from pathologic findings when evaluating such players.

Assessment of simulated patient motion and its effect on myocardial perfusion SPECT using two reconstruction methods (Filtered Backprojection;FBP and Iterative method) [Persian]

Introduction: Motion of the patient during myocardial perfusion SPECT could potentially results in false perfusion defects. The effect of different reconstruction methods on these artifacts is not studied. Clarification of the relation between the extent, severity and duration of motion with the resultant artifacts may be helpful in designing special soft wares for motion correction. This...

Small Molecule Cardiogenol C Upregulates Cardiac Markers and Induces Cardiac Functional Properties in Lineage-Committed Progenitor Cells

BACKGROUND/AIMS Cell transplantation into the heart is a new therapy after myocardial infarction. Its success, however, is impeded by poor donor cell survival and by limited transdifferentiation of the transplanted cells into functional cardiomyocytes. A promising strategy to overcome these problems is the induction of cardiomyogenic properties in donor cells by small molecules. METHODS Here ...

Performance of myocardial perfusion imaging using multi-focus fan beam collimator with resolution recovery reconstruction in a comparison with conventional SPECT

  Objective: IQSPECT is an advanced high-speed SPECT modality for performing myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), which uses a multi-focus fan beam collimator with resolution recovery reconstruction. The aim of this study was to compare IQSPECT compared with conventional SPECT interms of performance based on standard clinical protocols. In addition, we examined the concordance between convention...

Autologous Cellular Cardiac-implant

Acute myocardial infarction leads to loss of functional myocytes and structural integrity of the heart. Autologous cell transplantation to repair or regenerate injured myocardium is a new direction in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. The clinical advantage of this approach known as cellular cardiac-implant for myocardial repair is obvious because autologous myoblast implantation avoids ...

Myoblast Transplantation for Cardiac Repair Using Transient Immunosuppression

Myoblast transplant for cardiac repair offers an alternative therapeutic modality for cardiac repair. This novel cell based approach has the potential for replacing cardiomyocytes damaged during the disease process. Studies in the small and large animals and human phase-I trials have shown that myoblast transplantation into damaged myocardium results in the improved myocardial function and hemo...
