Although the development of abnormal myocardial mechanics represents a key step during transition from hypertension to overt heart failure (HF), underlying ultrastructural and cellular basis remains unclear. We therefore investigated how changes in transverse (T)-tubule organization resulting altered intracellular Ca(2+) cycling large cell populations underlie model chronic hypertension. Hearts spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs; n = 72) were studied at different ages stages disease early...
Background: Abnormalities in intracellular calcium (Ca) cycling during Ca overload can cause triggered activity because spontaneous release (SCR) activates sufficient Ca-sensitive inward currents to induce delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs). However, little is known about the mechanisms relating SCR and on tissue scale. Methods Results: Laser scanning confocal microscopy was used measure spatiotemporal properties of within large myocyte populations intact rat heart. Computer simulations...
ABSTRACT Background There are no established predictors of post‐operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in non‐cardiac thoracic surgery. Pre‐operative left imaging has been shown to identify patients with POAF undergoing cardiac The purpose this study was determine whether pre‐operative strain (LAS) predicts lung resection. Methods One hundred forty‐nine who underwent cancer resection were retrospectively analyzed. involved conventional transthoracic echocardiography comprehensive...
Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) studies report higher incidence in men and Black people but presume cause. We sought to identify sex racial differences rates causes of presumed SCDs a prospective postmortem study San Francisco County. Methods: All incident meeting the World Health Organization definition ages 18 90 were autopsied via active surveillance consecutive out-of-hospital deaths POST SCD (Postmortem Systematic Investigation Cardiac Death; February 1, 2011, March 2014)....
Abstract Introduction In patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura ( cITP ), the platelet count tends to be quite variable and, in majority of cases, specific therapy is not warranted on a regular basis. However, low (<30 nL) or bleeding complications would require therapy, such as prednisolone, intravenous immunoglobulin infusions, splenectomy and/or immunosuppression. Romiplostim, thrombopoietin agonist, has also proven useful improving counts. can associated...
Over 580 000 people in the US experience homelessness, with one of largest concentrations residing San Francisco, California. Unhoused individuals have a life expectancy approximately 50 years, yet how sudden death contributes to this early mortality is unknown.
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of myocardial infarction that typically affects women without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. It the most common in pregnant and postpartum women. SCAD often underdiagnosed due to lack clinician familiarity, patients with pregnancy-associated have more severe clinical presentations than those without. We present a case multiparous woman who presented acute chest pain period.

7552 Background: Current NCCN guidelines recommend post-operative radiotherapy (PORT) for patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) N2-involvement. We investigated the relationship between nodal-stage and local-regional recurrence (LR), distant (DR) overall survival (OS) having an R0 resection. Methods: A multi-institutional database of consecutive undergoing R0resection Stages I-IIIA NSCLC from 1998-2009 was used. Patients receiving any radiation therapy before relapse were...
