Introduction: The present study aimed to correlate renal oximetry near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) values with conventional non-invasive biomarkers for the early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Accordingly, renal NIRS can be employed as a trending device for the prevention of AKI developmen...

Trimetazidine is a piperazine-derived metabolic agent, which exerts cell protective effects and has been reported to be efficient in the treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris. In addition, it has been shown to exert protection against acute myocardial infarction. The present study aimed to investigate whether trimetazidine protects against cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and to...

Herein we review the use of electrochemical point-of-care SPE-based sensor technologies towards detection vital, established biomarkers related to cardiac injury, cancer diagnostics and acute inflammatory conditions.

RATIONALE The ability of the adult heart to generate new myocytes after injury is not established. OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to determine whether the adult heart has the capacity to generate new myocytes after injury, and to gain insight into their source. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiac injury was induced in the adult feline heart by infusing isoproterenol (ISO) for 10 days via minipumps, and ...

Introduction Approximately 10% patients who undergo non-cardiac surgery show biochemical evidence of myocardial injury, which is associated with cardiac complications and death [1]. The aetiology and mechanisms of perioperative myocardial injury are incompletely understood. Observational studies have described associations between perioperative tachycardia and postoperative cardiac complication...

Post-cardiac injury syndrome (PCIS) is an inflammatory process involving the pericardium secondary to cardiac injury. It can develop after cardiac trauma, cardiac surgery, myocardial infarction, and, rarely, after certain intravascular procedures. We report a rare case of an iatrogenic cardiac rupture followed by PCIS with delayed inflammatory pericardial effusion after pacemaker implantation. ...

Trauma is the leading cause of death in United States in the younger population. Cardiac trauma is common following blunt chest injuries and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study discusses various multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) findings of cardiac trauma. Cardiac injuries are broadly categorized into the most commonly occurring blunt cardiac injury and the less c...

background myocardial injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion leads to cardiac dysfunction, tissue injury and metabolic changes. the production of reactive oxygen species (ros) and lipid peroxidation are accompanied by ischemia-reperfusion injury. objectives the aim of this study was to assess the cardio protective potential effects of crocin in comparison with vitamin e on antioxidant capacity i...

Since the emergence of novel coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19), cardiovascular impairment and alterations in cardiology laboratory tests suggestive myocardial injury, even patients without symptoms, have been observed hospitalized children adults.– Epidemiological data from China suggested that cardiac injury may occur 19% to 28% with COVID-19. Several factors seem contribute damage, potentia...

This review was designed to find out the effect of biomarkers used as predictive signs for diagnosis cardiac injury on COVID-19 patients and probability death. The current literature has been reviewed some results considered. A systematic literary research conducted in Google Scholar, Web Science Pubmed starting from date disease appeared In December 2019 until beginning April 2020, references ...
