1. Association between ventricular premature contraction burden and ventricular repolarization duration
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Premature ventricular contraction is generally known as benign in the absence of structural heart disease; however, premature ventricular contraction-induced left ventricular systolic dysfunction or ventricular arrhythmias are defined in some cases. Ventricular repolarization duration differs between myocardial cells, which causes myocard

2. Efficacy of fetal left ventricular modified myocardial performance index in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fetal left ventricular modified myocardial performance index in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted, including 51 women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and 80 healthy controls. Using Dop

3. A rare cause of dilated cardiomyopathy: hypocalcemia
SUMMARY Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by systolic dysfunction and is usually idiopathic. A rare cause of reversible DCM is hypocalcemia. Calcium plays a key role in myocardial contraction. Hypocalcemia can lead to a decrease in contraction, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (EF). Hypocalce

4. Effects of Hyperthyroidism on Contractility and Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger Activity in the Isolated Papillary Muscle of Rats
Abstract Background: Hyperthyroidism (Hy) is an endocrine disorder, in which the thyroid hormones markedly alter the cardiac function. Increased myocardial contractility and cardiac output, improvement in diastolic relaxation, changes in electrical activity, increments in ventricular mass, and arrhythmias have been reported. However, the influences of thyro

5. Essential oil of the leaves of Eugenia sulcata preserve myocardial contractility and does not present immunotoxicity
The essential oil of the leaves of Eugenia sulcata, in the Myrtaceae family, has a demonstrated antihypertensive effect, but its effects on heart muscle and its toxicity have not yet been elucidated. Little chemical or biological data are available for E. sulcata, whether emphasizing the beneficial effects or the pharmacological security of this species. Thi

6. Effect of atenolol pre-treatment in heart damage in a model of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effects of atenolol in inflammatory mediator and oxidative stress in a myocardial injury by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion in rat model. Methods: Adult Wistar male rats were randomly (n=8), anesthetized and divided in: Sham: submitted to operation only; group SS+IR: intravenous saline infusion following superior mese

7. Assessment of the left ventricular function in normotensive prediabetics: a tissue Doppler echocardiography study
ABSTRACT Objective Several studies have shown that left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is increased in individuals with diabetes. However, there are scarce data about LV function in prediabetics. This study assessed the early changes in LV diastolic and systolic myocardial function in normotensive prediabetics using tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE). Su

8. Numeric reconstruction of 2D cellular actomyosin network from substrate displacement
Introduction: One of the fundamental structural elements of the cell is the cytoskeleton. Along with myosin, actin microfilaments are responsible for cellular contractions, and their organization may be related to pathological changes in myocardial tissue. Due to the complexity of factors involved, numerical modeling of the cytoskeleton has the potential to

9. A single resistance exercise session improves myocardial contractility in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Resistance training evokes myocardial adaptation; however, the effects of a single resistance exercise session on cardiac performance are poorly understood or investigated. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a single resistance exercise session on the myocardial contractility of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Male 3-month-old SHRs were d

10. Myocardial contractility impairment with racemic bupivacaine, non-racemic bupivacaine and ropivacaine. A comparative study
PURPOSE: To study racemic bupivacaine, non-racemic bupivacaine and ropivacaine on myocardial contractility. METHODS: Isolated Wistar papillary muscles were submitted to 50 and 100 mM racemic bupivacaine (B50 and B100), non-racemic bupivacaine (NR50 and NR100) and ropivacaine (R50 and R100) intoxication. Isometric contraction data were obtained in basal cond

11. A eritropoietina protege a função sistólica de corações neonatais submetidos a isquemia e reperfusão regional : trabalho experimental / Erythropoietin protects the systolic function of neonatal hearts against ischemiareperfusion injury
Background: The effect of erythropoietin (EPOT) on neonatal hearts is not well understood. The current hypothesis is that erythropoietin has protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion when administered prior to ischemia induction. Methods: Systolic and diastolic indices, as well as the Akt and extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathways, wer

12. Efeito potencializador da Angiotensina(1-7) sobre o aumento da tensão sistólica induzida pelo isoproterenol em corações isolados de ratos
The present study was designed to establish the possible interaction between the Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] with isoproterenol, adrenergic agonist, in the production of increased myocardial contractility of isolated hearts of adult rats. Hearts were perfused according to Langendorff preparation. It was used first bolus of isoproterenol, laterally to the a
